hi,

first of all: NAT is not a problem for an up-to-date VPN-client. there is a
feature "nat traversal" that makes VPN work. but you will need more ports
than only port 80 - so maybe you can allow <any> port from this guest-dmz.
the next think is that the guest-network should not be the same IP as he
guest's company network. so don't use a 10.x.x.x IP - use a 172.16-32.x.x,
they are not that much in use. but still there is a chance that your guest
will use a 172-ip in his company network - then maybe his VPN-client is
able to deal with that, if not -> bad luck.

hope this helps

Hi Guys,

I had a design question which I wanted to run by you guys.

I wanted to create a VLAN for visitors and then have the checkpoint be
the gateway for the DMZ. With the appropriate rules in place, everything
seems to work for web browsing. Users are on DHCP on this vlan.

What do you do for users who need to connect to their company network
using IPSEC vpn clients? Everything I've read seems to make this task
quite difficult.

How have you handled this in your environment?
