Route Traffic to Speedfusion VPN Peer Feature Request

Product Discussion Feature Requests

Hello–

My WAN of my balance 20x (192.168.19.0/24) is connected to a private network (192.168.1.0/24) with the same ip range as my speedfusion vpn peer (192.168.1.0/24). When I try and connect to a computer on a peer network, traffic is routed to the WAN instead. Creating an outbound policy rule to route the traffic through speedfusion vpn doesn’t work.

Details:
Balance1-LAN: 192.168.19.0/24
Balance1-WAN2 IP: 192.168.1.37/24
Balance2-LAN: 192.168.1.0/24
Balance1 and Balance2 are connected via speedfusion vpn.

Computer1: 192.168.19.151
Computer2: 192.168.1.215

Issue: Computer1 can’t reach Computer 2.

The problem, I’m told, is that BGP route advertisement tells the Balance1 to use WAN2 to reach 192.168.1.215 rather than the speedfusion vpn where 192.168.1.215 exists on the peer network Balance2.

Seems to me that multiple routes exist to an IP and the route metrics should be modifiable by rules. Like an outbound policy rule to select the VPN rather than WAN2 on Balance1.

Thanks

Hi Ben, have you enabled the expert mode on the Outbound Policies? as the expert mode can help you prioritizing the traffic over any another route if you add the route on the top. Another useful thing is if you receive your WAN as a private network you can change the addresing on the modem or try to directly bridge it to receive the public IP. If you cannot you can just call the ISP and they help you to change the addressing or giving you bridge mode(which I think is better). So you have options in order to solve you issue regarding haveing same subnet on your WAN/LAN

Hey Carlos–

THANK YOU SO MUCH. “Expert Mode” was exactly the feature I was looking for. Once I enabled it, I was able to set a rule to enforce using the VPN to access the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Cheers,
Ben
