SRXN3205 No internet for any clients
Hello,
I am facing the problem, that my clients losing the internet access after a short time.
The WAN Status is always connected and I can lookup all domains, but I don't get any data to my clients f.e. ping doesn't work any longer, etc.
What can I do?

- H3llGhostAspirantHmm ... Because there is no edit function, I have to write a double post, sorry. I have tested the SSL-VPN connection and found out, that the internet access is working fine from the connected client. :) In the same time I tested the internet access on the clients, but it doesn't work. It is curious.
- Daedalus01AspirantSince you mentioned SSL, can I assume from users connected via VPN, or users locally?
- H3llGhostAspirantÄhm ... In my first post I mean the local users. We tested the SSL-VPN functionality and found out that with connected SSL-VPN the internet works on the connected clients: Client -> Smartphone -> Internet (SSL-VPN tunnel) -> Router -> Internet
- Daedalus01AspirantAnd you've turned data plan off on the smartphone correct? I know that on mine, if the WIFI is down, it will revert to using the phones data plan.

SPLIT tunnel uses local internet (remote end)
FULL tunnel uses ALL the traffic including the internet goes via SSL VPN - H3llGhostAspirantYes I know (it stands in the manual :) ), but it doesn't explain why clients (local), can't access the internet. The solution was to reset the router and know all works fine. PS: @jmizoguchi Thanks for your howto about using IPSec with the iPhone.
- jmizoguchiVirtuosolocal ONLY for ipsec

you need to make sure DNS section in SSL-VPN setting is correctly entered - jmizoguchiVirtuosomeaning as ROUTER SIDE setting for SSL-VPN settings
- H3llGhostAspirantSSL-VPN works fine. Local clients connected to the LAN ports and the WLAN, can't access the internet.
