Can't get SSL VPN to pass traffic

Hi,

 

I have read plenty of community posts and KB's but just can't seem to get my head around getting SSL VPN to work correctly for my network.

 

I have created a new SSL VPN (Remote Access) Rule:

  • Name: Remote Access
  • Description: Remote Access
  • Policy Members: Open Group
  • Use as Default Gateway: On (Have tried both on and off)
  • Permitted network resources: "Home" which is my internal network 192.168.1.0/24

 

VPN Settings:

  • Protocol: TCP
  • SSL Server Cert: ApplianceCertificate
  • IPv4 Lease Range: 10.81.234.5-55
  • Subnet: /24
  • IPv4 DNS: 8.8.8.8 / 4.2.2.2

 

The username I am trying is part of the "Open Group:

Under firewall I have created 2 network rules:

  • Name: LAN to VPN
  • Source Zones: LAN
  • Source Networks and Devices: Any
  • Destination Zones: WAN
  • Destination Networks: Any
  • Services: Any
  • Identitiy --> Match Known Users
  • Users or Groups: Open Group
  • All other settings are unchecked / none

 

Rule 2:

  • Name: VPN to LAN
  • Source Zones: WAN
  • Source Networks and Devices: Any
  • Destination Zones: LAN
  • Destination Networks: Home (192.168.1.0/24)
  • Services: Any
  • Identitiy --> Match Known Users
  • Users or Groups: Open Group
  • All other settings are unchecked / none

 

I can connect fine but no traffic is passed, nor logged or captured within the firewall:

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Daniel,

    On rule 1 chance the source to vpn and destination zone to LAN. On rule 2 change the source to vpn and destination to wan zone.

    Thanks

  • Hi Luk,

     

    Thanks for the help, here is how they look now:

     

    I am still not getting any access.

  • Daniel,

    Remove home from destination network and uncheck match know users.

  • Thank you, that worked, I can now ping internally which is great, however my new problem is that I can't access the web via VPN.

    When I ping 8.8.8.8 I get a request timed out and if I ping DNS names such as www.google.com, It can't resolve.

     

    Are you able to assist me please?

  • Did you remove the home network from vpn to wan?

  • Yes I did, plus I moved the firewall rules above a clientless rule as it appeared to be hitting that rule rather than the VPN rule.

     

    Thanks

  • Hi , 

    Could you please show us the output of the command "route print" in CMD after successfully connected via SSL VPN.

  • Daniel,

    on the VPN Profile, make sure use default gateway is turned on.

    Also make sure everythime you changed the SSL Profile on XG, you downloaded the new SSL VPN configuration from user portal and installed on the Windows Client.

    Thanks

  • Thanks, Gateway is turned on, still no dns / www traffic, I can ping internal hosts but nothing external.

     

    I didn't know I had to download a new config with every change! That is really silly in my opinion.

     

    I will give that a go and see if it resolves the issue.

  • Hi Daniel

     

    Had the same problem as you, it was not hitting the second rule so changed the first rule so destination included LAN and WAN.

  • Thank you, that helped resolve the issue.

     

    Cheers
