Watchguard Firewall SSLVPN

0

After running into some initial connection errors (which were resolved via Watchguard Firewall - Issues with SSLVPN), I'm able to accept the SSL certificate provided by the firewall and get further into the connection process / attempt.

However, I'm still unable to complete the connection, and I'm currently seeing the following in the client log

This was suggested in a comment in the earlier question (before I decided to break this out into a separate question):

The updated log looks like it's an issue with the ISATAP on the client. In the Watchguard System Manager if you open up your policy manager -> VPN menu -> Mobile VPN -> SSL verify the primary and/or backup firebox IP addresses and the virtual IP address pool the clients use

I've actually been using the Web GUI to configure the Firewall / setup the VPN (not the Watchguard System Manager, although I'm slowly becoming vaguely familiar with it).

I did check the Web GUI, and can confirm the IP address (for the primary Watchguard connection) is correct, as well as the virtual IP address pool (which is set to 10.1.10.176/28).

I have noticed that I'm unable to download the VPN client via the public IP address:4100/sslvpn.html (which I'm supposedly supposed to be able to do from the outside). That said, I pulled down the client & client config manually a couple days ago using these instructions: http://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/wsm/11_XTM/en-US/Content/en-US/mvpn/ssl/mvpn_ssl_manual-distribution_c.html).

Using those same instructions today, I updated the client config (just in case there were settings that have been changed) - so going through the System Manager, I pulled down the support files, uncompressed them, grabbed the sslvpn-client.wgssl file, and ran it on the client computer from an outside IP address trying to connect to the VPN.

I continue to get the error messages above.

Any additional thoughts on this?

I realized that this question was still open, although I resolved it (with the original hardware vendor's help) a long time ago.

The issue was that I was trying to connect to firewall (VPN) from outside the network on port 443 (SSL), which was already reserved on the firewall for something else (web traffic at one point was coming through for email purposes - later on down the road, I'll look into closing that down completely).

When we configured the firewall (and the VPN client) to communicate on port 444, it worked just fine.
