Cannot access HTTP via SSL VPN but can via IPSec

Hi Shawn Hartford 

Do you see any block page or error while accessing the HTTP Pages from the remote site? Also, make sure you've added correct Local and Remote Networks in the configuration. The other thing, when you access HTTP pages of the remote site from your site, make sure traffic does not pass through the Web Filtering. You may add the remote network in the Transparent Skip List and then create a Firewall rule to allow the traffic.

I get the basic Sophos landing page that the remote site timed out, no block pages though. I know the remote and local networks are assigned properly as I can access all other resources, like RDP, files, printers, etc. betweem both sites.

I'll look into the Web Filtering, that may be it. I'll add the remote network in each others Skip List and see if that helps. 

What firewall rule though would I make? I've created a VPN connection on each side with the option to auto create the firewall rules, which I assume allows all traffic from the remote network? What additional firewall rules might I need?

Thanks for the ideas!

Hi Shawn and welcome to the UTM Community!

The automatic rules should be fine.

In fact, properly configured, IPsec should be faster than the SSL VPN.  If you want help with that, please open a thread in the VPN forum.

True,

if i remember correctly just to make an estimate, you can double the amount of reccomended SSL VPNs to get the round about amount of ipsec VPNs you could do right?

Given that IPsec needs to be faster than SSL otherwise the conclusion above would work.
