Access RED LAN network from local LAN (RED WAN TO RED LAN)

I have a customer that uses SOPHOS FIREWALL  and have connected a bunch of RED 15 and RED 20 devices. 
And for my customers end users they usualy connect to their RED device using SOPHOS CONNECTS . 

But mor and more often , they ask if it is possible for them to connect from their own network to the Local RED's LAN network, and access the devices on the RED LAN nework.  AT minimum they want to acces a spesific service, but if it is possible to acces "all" devices on the RED LAN network it whould be great. 

My question are if that is something that is possible to achieve.  CAN Customer network acces the RED Network trough WAN ?
The setup is usualy something like this. 

SOPHOS FIREWALL --> Customer ISP --> Customer Network --> RED device --> RED LAN .

  • Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    To verify, what is the deployment mode on your RED?

    Ensure I understand correctly since the clients connect via VPN Remote(Sophos Connect). Have you tried to allow the services/network on the Permitted network?

    To access RED via WAN, I would go to VPN Site-to-site and configure the firewall rules/NAT for the services and access.

  • Hi.

    the RED mode is standard/unified.

    the end user are able to connect trough Sophos connect and acces the RED network. 

    but since they are physically at the same location , they want to be able to access the RED network, from their network, without needing the SOPHOS Connect and VPN . 

    we only have controll of the RED and the RED LAN network (192.168.108.xx) while the end customer have their owne network 10.1.5.xx.

    in short I want to use my computer on the network 10.1.5.xx , not using the VPN connect. and be able to access a webpage that are comming from a computer  inside the RED network at 192.168.108.210 . 

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately, they would need to connect to a VPN for the RED Network, which is like an extension of the main network.

    For reference, REDs connect remote branch offices to your main offices as if the branch office is part of your local network.
