Is it normal to require a public IP for VPN devices?
Im not talking about the gateway device, but the LAN side of the VPN router?
Our VPN router sits behind an edge router that NATs the public IP 65.x.x.x to the WAN port of the VPN router 192.168.1.x
The other party is requiring the LAN address of the VPN router is the same public IP 65.x.x.x ??? So on their end they are entering this public IP as the remote subnet and remote gateway device.
The VPN tunnel is up, but we are having trouble sending packets over the VPN tunnel. Im assuming this is because we are being forced to use a public IP on our LAN ?
In most cases you are using private subnets and the only public addresses you are using in your ipsec VPN config are the remote gateway VPN routers, which are routable IP addresses.
If it is possible to have this configuration, are there more steps required to properly route this traffic through the VPN tunnel?
