Port forwarding to remote network server
Dear colleagues I faced up with a problem, to publish service on server from remote office branch, connected via VPN IPsec (SRX5308<->FVS318G) with main office network, on central router SRX5308. D...
Hi Borya,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. As I have understand your initial post, you wanted to access the server from the remote office through the VPN tunnel, am I correct? If yes, then port forwarding is not needed because the connection is via the VPN tunnel.
b. Is the VPN connection (SRX5308<->FVS318G) working fine before?
c. Are you able to get replies when you ping the LAN IP address of the server from the remote office via the VPN tunnel?

Hi DaneA
VPN channel between offices works perfect, and I also can use port forward service for servers located in main office.
Sitution is more complicated, I wish to provide access for remote users to server located in remote office via our central router SRX5308.
Hi Borya,
Here are my follow-up questions:
a. Is the central router SRX5308 and the SRX5308 in the (SRX5308<->FVS318G) IPSec VPN the same? If not, proceed to the next question.
b. How does the central router SRX5308 connected to the (SRX5308<->FVS318G) IPSec VPN?
It would be best if you post an image or screenshot of your detailed network setup.

Hi DaneA
It looks like this:
Hi Borya,
I just want to verify. From the diagram you have posted, there is a broken line from the remote user to the SRX5308. Does it mean that there is a client-to-box VPN between the remote user and the SRX5308?
What if you configure a client-to-box VPN between the remote user and the FVS318G so that you could give the remote user access to the server. I believe this is possible.
