Sophos XGS site-to-site SSL VPN static IP address for client

Hello,

I have Sophos XG 2300 with firmware 19.5.3 MR-3.

I'm trying to set a static IP address for a site-to-site SSL VPN client. Is there any way to achieve this?

Whatever I do it keeps getting leased IP address from Global DHCP pool or the VPN connection does not work.

I would like to set a firewall rule only for this VPN connection but I am unable to do so since no user or group can be used.

    You mean to say you are not able to reach subnet over site to site ssl vpn connection ?

  • Hello,

    it seems the issue is with OpenVPN community version. When I check "Use static virtual IP address" and fill in the address which I would like it fails to connect with a message: ERROR: There is a clash between the --ifconfig local address and the internal DHCP server address -- both are set to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -- please use the --ip-win32 dynamic option to choose a different free address from the --ifconfig subnet for the internal DHCP server.

    When I use OpenVPN connect I am able to connect to the VPN and I have the address which has been set. I have tried several different IPs, OpenVPN 2.6.10 or 2.6.9 fails to connect, OpenVPN connect connects with ease.
