Hi
According to your mail, the secure client enters 81.1.1.1 as the host IP of
the site that they are connecting to. But this Ip translates to the external
interface IP of your firewall. Here is something you could try that might work
- NAT your firewall host IP. Then enter this NAT'd IP as the site IP in
secureclient. You would have to change the link selection to match this as well.

Hi,
here is an example to avoid confusion :
1) the Secureclient tries to connect to the Public IP address of the
Firewall which is 81.1.1.1
2) the NAT device (Radware LinkProof) located between the Firewall and
Internet, translates this address 81.1.1.1 to the real private address of
the Firewall external interface which is 10.1.1.1
and, we did the test by coding the the "Statically NATted IP" option in
the Link selection section of the VPN properties of the Cluster to the
value 81.1.1.1
thanks for any feedback

Re: [FW-1] Problem to establish VPN connection (NAT pb...?)
Hi
What is the IP that the secureclient enters when creating the site (when
connecting from the internet)? Is it the statically NAT'd IP of the
cluster or is it the statically NAT'd IP of the firewall interface that
connects to your ISP???
Regards

VPN tunnels can be established from the inside network, but we are unable
to establish it from Internet;
the reason might be that the Firewall is hidden behind a NAT device
(Redware machines) ;
We have tried to code the "Statically NATted IP" option in the Link
selection section of the VPN properties of the Cluster but nothing changed
the UDP NAT Traversal option is also checked; and IKE over TCP has also
been tested (on both sides)
but it seems that we don't even reach this phase since the default 2746
UDP port never appears in Sniffer traces (taken before and after the NAT
device;
NAT traversal is generally used in case the client PC real address is
hidden behind a NAT device before reaching the VPN Firewall,
but here, it is the reverse since the Firewall real address is a private
one and so it is hidden from Internet ;
Is this configuration supported ?
We have the same topology with other types Firewalls and don't have any
problem with NAT
As far as I understand, this NAT traversal option only concerns IPSEC
encapsulation inside UDP layer to allow NAT pass-thru ;
the problem here seems to occur during ISAKMP phase
The scenario, at time of test, is as follows, from the user point of view
:
a) after entering the password on the initial Connect screen and clicking
the Connect button, a "Verify Certificate" popup is displayed : it is the
same kind of screen shown when creating the site itself
b) after clicking OK on this popup, the password is prompted again with
the same kind of screen as the initial Connect screen, with a Cancel = xxx
button and a Connect button;
c) after clicking the Connect button, the screen disappears, and nothing
else is visible for 1 mn ;
d) after that, a "VPN Connection failed" popup appears next to the
SecureClient icon on the Quick Launch part of the screen
There are visble messages about this VPN test in the SmarTracker log, but
none seems an error message
Any help welcomed
thanks in advance
