[NEBULA] Setup easy VPN connection to a NSG50

Bram_Lortye

Hi there,

Can i find a manual somewhere, how i can setup a NSG50 as a VPN server?

My situation: a NSG50 is in the DMZ of a NAT gateway.

In the NSG50 i made several VLAN, i would like for clients to be able to connect to one of the VLAN with their laptop so they can access local devices (a NAS) in that network.

I was not able to find a quick solotion how i could make this work, if someone could give me a hint :)

Hi Bram, I guess you need to set up the L2TP VPN, you could check this:

You could use the cloud authentication for authentication instead of the Radius as explained in the link.

Hi Bram,

NSG cannot specify VPN role In current stage, however like RUnglaube points out you can still use L2TP over IPsec VPN as the solution.😊

Hi @Alfonso, thanks for the quick response!

I already saw the link you provided, but that's not what i mean.

As i understand it correct, the tutorial in the link describes how to make the NSG client of another VPN server.

I am looking for the other way around. I want the NSG to be my VPN server, where i can connect to (with windows-native-vpn setup or a client vpn tool or something like that).

In a lot of routers i am familiar with, i can easy setup a VPN server in the router, on the devices you want to connect you simply install a client (exampl. OpenVPN client-app or something like that).

Perhaps i'm looking at it all wrong, i would like to connect (with a windows-laptop/tablet/smartphone) to the LAN network behind the NSG to acces a NAS and other machines.

Perhaps there is not such a functionality (yet) in the NSG's, then i have to find another solution.

Thanks for your time and help.

HI @Bram_Lortye

Obviously it can be done with NSG.

I recommend to configure an IPSEC L2TP server, because most of devices can establish that kind of VPN.
