Going back to the network diagram you posted, you mentioned that the two devices connected to the ISPs are switches. I believe these switches are Layer 3 switches which are connected to the WAN ports of the SRX5308. The WAN IP address that is registered on the SRX5308 are Private IP Addresses. With regard to this, I'm afraid it seems that the client-to-box VPN you want to achieve is not possible with your current network setup.
For client-to-box VPN to work, refer to the network setup below as an example:
The local IP address of the Remote PC or laptop where the ProSAFE VPN Client software is installed should be different from the local subnet of the SRX5308. Based from the network diagram you posted, the local network address of the SRX5308 is 192.168.1.0, so the local IP address of the Remote PC or laptop where the ProSAFE VPN Client software is installed should be different from it (from the example above, it should be on 10.10.10.6).

Sorry when you said "SRX5308 is behind another router" I though you were talking about "my network" not the box connected to the ISP. I'm gonna try with 10.10.10.6 local IP.
