#OPENVPN FORTIGATE VPN CLIENT HOW TO#
A VIP ? All fixed IP's, cant figure out how to use that either.I tried creating a new interface and connect it to the IPSEC tunnel, like i sometimes do when using OpenVPN.But how do i tell PFSense to be a client, and use the IP address assigned to me by the fortigate ? I tried using the WAN interface, should work for setting up the connection, but how do i handle the private IP assigned by the fortigate ? Phase 1 is easy enough to setup with all the data i have. On the PFSebse box i tried various ways to create a fitting profile but i cant figure out how to get it to work.The German article on this forum show a basic IPSEC setup between a Fortigate and PFSense using a dedicated setup. But hey, i can access all the settings on the fortigate to compare. The Cisco VPN client profiles hardly showed anything useful. I have the PSK key and account available to me. This is followed with a phase 2 setting, again using the same encryption and authentication settings on both sides and PFS enabled. (On the fortigate it is set to Xauth type "auto server" and linked to the radius user group) Then there's a XAuth phase where the user supplies his userdomain\username + password, which is verified by radius connected to his AD account. Phase 1 is setup using fixed peer ID's and a PSK (i'll leave out the encryption settings, but i used the same on both sides) The Dial-Up setup on the fortigate provides the Cisco VPN clients calling in with a private IP adress from a small /26 pool set on the fortigate as "client range". My experience with Fortigates and IPSEC is limited however, and just as a challenge for myself i am trying to connect to the Dial-Up setup using my PFSense firewall.

Yes i am one of the actual sysadmins for the fortigate setup, and yes i could create a dedicated setup for this link. Normally users dial in to the fortigate using a Cisco VPN client using a PSK setup + their AD account through Radius.īefore anyone starts complaining. I am trying to connect to a Fortigate firewall with a IPSEC dial-in setup.
