Accessing sites thru local network VPN hardware
We have a Prosafe FVS336G Firewall/VPN. We'd like to set this so that users within the LAN can access sites on the internet as if it were an external VPN. A loop back tunnel of sorts to other sit...
Hello netsmart,
Welcome to the community!
You can do a box-to-box VPN configuration if you will have two FVS336G's on both ends. However, your fios box, does it have routing capabilities?
Thanks,
Yes, the Fios Gateway is a router ( Fios G1100). it does routing. The FVS336G is connected to one of it's Lan ports.
The task here is to use the FVS336G as a VPN service such that INCOMING data is encrypted ( trading data for example ) and geolocation is not available to sites ( via IP lookup -- verizon ).
So instead of subscribing to a VPN service we provide our own, in a nutshell.
Thanks.
Hi netsmart,
Well, then there are two routers connected to each other. For you to use the VPN capabilities of the FVS336G you'll have to setup a DMZ port on the FiOS to the IP of the FVS336G. What you're looking for is possible but DMZ should be configured on your FiOS.
Thanks,

Regards,Still working our way thru this. The DMZ should be set up on the prosafe, as there's TWO incoming Wans for loadbalancing, failover, etc.
Need to do the DMZ, . While I have the latest firmware, the model is not the latest ( ie. no DMZ LED)
Thank you.
