Title: Compatibility with 3rd party FW's (for VPNs)
Post by: fredbloggs on August 16, 2016, 11:22:52 am

Hi,

I'm trying to find out (since i'm failing) if the OPNSense firewall has been tested with 3rd party firewalls to create VPNs

Specifically thinking about Sonicwall's but also have a requirement to support Fortinet / Meraki / Mikrotik. 

i.e. not OpenVPN, purely IPSec and preferably without having to manually edit ipsec.conf files and just done via wizards.

I want to confirm this is possible before I look to engage support to set this up.

Thanks

Mark

IPSec is a standard so all products should be compatible. The only thing is that you have to ensure that the settings are the same on both sides.
Can you look at the log files if there is any information available why it fails?
