 Thanks to: https://community.fortinet.com/ Technical Tip: Configuring Hairpin NAT (VIP) Description This article describes how to configure FortiGate for Hairpin with the use of set match-vip and match-vip-only.     In this scenario, both PC and Server are behind FortiGate and PC wants to connect to Server by pointing to its external address (92.0.2.10) instead of its real one (10.10.10.10). This is called Hairpin NAT. Scope Fortigate   Solution The solution will depend on how the Virtual IP (VIP) object. Solution 1: External interface in the VIP is configured to particular interface (in this case to wan1) External interface set to a particular interface, for instance wan1: #config firewall vip     edit "VIP"         set extip 92.0.2.10         set extintf 'wan1'         set mappedip 10.10.10.10     next end Note : In this scena...

 Thank to: https://community.fortinet.com/ Description This article describes how to configure SD-WAN in combination with IPSEC VPN tunnels.  From FortiOS 6.0 the SD-WAN feature is more granular and allows the combination of IPSEC tunnel interfaces with regular interfaces. Scope The scope of this article considers that HQ has 2 Internet connections called ISP1 and ISP2 shown in the diagram with  Blue  and  Green  lines describing the different paths     - ISP1 is connected to port1.     - ISP2 is connected to port2.     - Branch has 1 internet connection with 2 IPSEC tunnels toward HQ ISP1 and HQ ISP2.     - All traffic from the Branch has to go through HQ, i.e. Branch users connect to the internet through HQ.     - Internet security policies are applied to HQ. The routing preferences are :     - Branch to HQ : 1  Blue  VPN, 2  Green  VPN ...
