SSL VPN setup - Sophos XG in Azure

Hi all

 

 

I need some guidance on getting SSL VPN working on the XG. I'm going to migrate some workloads for a client to Microsoft Azure. I have started building the Azure network, and placed a Sophos XG in a perimeter Azure vNet, following this guide. community.sophos.com/.../128102.

The idea is to have a site-to-site VPN between On-prem office Sophos XG and Sophos XG in Azure.

Remote workers are going to use SSL VPN to connect to Sophos XG in Azure. I have followed this guide to configure SSL VPN for clients. community.sophos.com/.../122769

 

Users can’t connect. I see this in the Sophos client log:

I have opened ports in the Azure Network security group (any). The vNet in Azure have the 10.47.0.0/16 address space, with SophosXG-Public-DMZ-Frontend-WAN as 10.47.0.0/24 and SophosXG-Public-DMZ-Backend-LAN in the 10.47.1.0/24 subnet.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

  • Thanks to everybody who tried to help.

    It is pretty emberassing but I made a real simple mistake. In the SSL VPN policy I added a (wrong) group which was similar to the one I should have added - but of course not matching the users I treid to get access with.

    But again thanks to all contributors, in the end all helped to solve the problem. BTW investigating my issue I found the policy tester very helpful.

    Cheers Dirk
