Management access via IPSec VPN

I'm using the Home Firewall 20.0. I configured IPSec VPN to access devices in the home. I can access most devices, but not the Sophos firewall itself.

Although the VPN shows up as a zone, it does not show up as an interface (a "tunnel" interface, with an IP address that can be utilized or even configured). Therefore, I am trying to connect to the firewall using its LAN interface IP address. I can successfully ping this interface, and I have full access to other devices on this LAN subnet.

But when i try to access this IP address via HTTPS, it refuses the connection. 

Under Administration > Device Access, in the VPN row, I check all of the checkboxes (temporarily during testing). Still the firewall denies me HTTPS access.

  • Hi

    a better method to connect and with less hassles is to use Central. For home users it is free with limited features and 7 days of history.

  •  , do you have local/remote subnet as 'Any/Any' or it has traffic selectors  (some specific subnets) configured in the route based ipsec tunnel ?

    Is this your topology ? and you are trying to access SFOS1 UI from Windows node and expect it to go through rbvpn tunnel?

    SFOS1-----------rbvpn------SFOS2----LAN---Windows

    Have you enabled HTTPS on VPN zone (from UI - Administration - Device Access) on SFOS1 ?
