Relay traffic from branch office site-to-site to remote site through head office

Good Day,

We have four site-to-site VPNs setup and working.

  • Site A (Head Office)
  • Site B (Branch Office 1)
  • Site C (Branch office 2)
  • Site D (External party (Fortinet) site)

Site A (Head Office) connects to Site D (external party) to allows us to communicate to the Site D (external party) and connect to their server. Note: We have NATed the Site A to Site D site-to-site vpn. 

My issue is that users from Site B and C cannot communicate to the external party via the Site-to-Site VPN through Site A to the external party site D. Only way users from Site B and C are able to connect to Site D is with (windows server VPN) to Site A. 


How can I allow Site B and C to also communicate with Site D using Site A site-to-site VPN?

  • Hi Werner,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    Have you tried to use any how-to videos, documentation, Sophos Assistant, or KBA to try to check the issue?

    Kindly check the following.

    • Are Site B & Site C allowed in the VPN Tunnel going to Site D from Site A? vice versa
    • Are there any overlap networks from Site B & C going to Site D? 
    • Are the Site B & C also being translated since you have a NAT configured
    • To verify the following, you may do a packet capture to check what is happening with the packet.

  • Hi  ,

    I've tried a few how-to videos and documentation. 

    Please see below to your questions you've asked:

    • Are Site B & Site C allowed in the VPN Tunnel going to Site D from Site A? vice versa
    Site B & Site C is allowed to connect to Site A and Vice versa. Should I then create a extra VPN tunnel for only Site B & C at Site A to allow traffic to flow to site D or edit the current VPN tunnel to allow traffic from site B & C to go through site A to site D? 

    Reason for asking this and Hope it makes sense is that we cannot create additional VPN tunnel's to Site D. 
    • Are there any overlap networks from Site B & C going to Site D? 
    No overlapping networks all on different subnet networks

    • Are the Site B & C also being translated since you have a NAT configured

    Only Site A is translated

    • To verify the following, you may do a packet capture to check what is happening with the packet

    I will try that from both Site B and C when trying to connect to Site D through A

  • Hi Werner,

    Thank you for the information.

    You don't need to create an additional tunnel for this. 

    Kindly update the Site A and Site D Configuration to allow Site B & C.

    You may also refer to the following for reference.

  • Hi  

    Please see below config of Site A, B and C:

    Site A: 10.0.0.0/16

    Site B: 172.16.0.0/16

    Site C: 172.17.0.0/16

    Site D: 10.83.x.x/32 NATed to site A.

    Would it work by updating the site-to-site tunnels on Site A to allow Site D traffic to flow to Site B and C by adding the remote subnet to Site B and C and visa versa. Only want to update Site A to C and not change site D.

  • Hi Werner,

    Have you tried the following KB's

    Kindly try to configure your VPN tunnel from branches B & C to be translated to the Site A network. 

    To further assist you with all of your requirements, I would recommend reaching out to your Sales Partner or Sophos Professional Services.
