Reverse Proxy WebServer behind IPSec Tunnel

Hello,

I have a VPN tunnel to another site, there is a web server that should be reached via a reverse proxy on the XG. The XG has an additional IP address (192.168.0.140) on the LAN interface (the LAN interface has IP 192.168.0.2). The IPSec tunnel is terminated locally on IPs 192.168.0.140 and 192.168.0.2, and on the other side the tunnel is terminated on the web server IP 192.168.253.37.

When I call the access the reverse proxy, I always get only a status code 503 in the reverse proxy log.

I had tried to nat the traffic, which did not help either: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000035839?language=en_US

Does anyone have a tip for me?

Thanks,

Ben

  • Hi Vishal,

    the source IP is correct, 192.168.0.2 is in my local tunnel endpoint:

    XGS5500_CI02_SFOS 19.5.0 GA-Build197 HA-Primary# ip route get 192.168.253.37
    192.168.253.37 dev ipsec0 table 220 src 192.168.0.2 uid 0
    cache
    XGS5500_CI02_SFOS 19.5.0 GA-Build197 HA-Primary#

    If I check the traffic with "tcpdump -i ipsec0 host 192.168.253.37" I did not see any traffic in the tunnel.

    Regards,

  • Hi  Packet capture on GUI for host 192.168.253.37 will give information on IPSec out (As in CLI IPsec out will not be seen & only IPsec in will be there). so on XGS5500 if IPsec out is there for 192.168.253.37 then on another end of XG you may able to see CLI packets via tcpdump with IPSec in during WAF Access time.

  • You are right, in the GUI capture I see the packets on the IPSec interface. The other site is managed by a different company. They will check the rules.
    Thanks,
