How to do LAN->WAN through VPN (OpenVPN)?

Zeneth

I have a device in my LAN that I would like to always connect egress to WAN via a VPN tunnel using an OpenVPN profile. I was able to do this in my Synology Router but I'm not able to figure out how to accomplish this in XG Firewall.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello Zeneth,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    I am not sure if I understood your query correctly, but for example in my case I have a computer with IP 192.168.15.10 on my LAN, I use ExpressVPN, and I have to WAN interfaces, so I have a rule configured in the XG which is 

    Source Zones = LAN 

    Source Networks and devices = 192.168.15.10

    Destination Zone = WAN

    Destination Networks = ANY

    Use outbound address = MASQ

    Primary Gateway = ISP1

    Backup Gateway = ISP2 

    So this way I am sure all of the 192.168.15.10 goes trough the ISP1. Also when I connect to the VPN the traffic goes through the same WAN interface.

    Is this what you are trying to achieve?

    regards,

    Hi ,

    Thanks for the reply. Your use case is somewhat different and it also works for me if I manually configure the VPN client connection on each specific device.

    What I'm looking for is having XG itself connect to a VPN service (as a client) where I could easily create a rule in XG to route traffic for specific devices to the WAN through this VPN tunnel.

    Thanks.

    I can see that OpenVPN is already installed in XG Firewall:

    SFVH_SO01_SFOS 18.0.1 MR-1-Build396# which openvpn
    /usr/bin/openvpn

    So I believe it would be something trivial to expose and allow client connections via the UI :)
