VPN question

Peter Vroegop

Hi,

 

We work with Sophos SG UTM and endcontrol (sophos central)

We want to create a situation where our remote user can use their notebook.

The must setup a secure VPN to the company network and access the network shares but also the internet throuh the VPN/utm proxy.

The follow I configured

  1. I created a IPSEC remote access rule
  2. I created a webfilter groep for the IPSEC poule
  3. I installed the VPN client and set the notebook to connect the internet trough the proxy server (UTM)

This seems to work fine.

There is no internet access through the web browser with the VPN is connected because of the proxy setting.
However other internet access like teams, updates etc still continues.

Als those traffic I want to tunnel and let the UTn handle de accessrules.

can anybody tell my how?

 

best regards,

 

Peter

    Did you configure a masquerading rule from the IPSec VPN pool?

    Hoi Peter,

    As apijnappels suggests, you need either a firewall rule and a masquerading rule for "VPN Pool (IPsec)" or to include "VPN Pool (IPsec)" in 'Allowed Networks' for a Web Filtering Profile.

    Under: network protection -> NAT -> Masquerading

    Configure a rule:
    Internal (Network) => External WAN

    This is necessary to translate your internal local IP-address to the public IP-address of your internet connection. Most soho routers do this automatically, but UTM is more diverse and can also be used to route between networks without translating to a single public IP-adddress.

    Then you need a firewall rule under Network protection -> Firewall in it's most basic form as:

    Sources: Internal (Network)
    Services: any
    Destinations: any
    Action: Allow

    Also tick Log traffic under Advanced so the rule is logged and you can trace it back should you need it later on.

    This firewall rule simply allows ALL traffic to EVERY destination. It's not the safest option but again that's what most soho routers do too. But in UTM you need to configure which traffic is allowed otherwise it is just not allowed.
