VPN users to have same external IP as the Office.

mikenco · February 2023

I have been sked to try and give our homeworkers a static IP, as some of the banks and lenders we deal with require this.

I have configured our Sonicwall to allow 'trusted users' to access via VPN. What I was hoping was that when they're connected, they will effectively be able to go online and appear to be under the static IP that our main office uses, but that's not the case?

Is this possible? Am I missing something? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@mikenco what you need is known as Tunnel All Mode, check this KB article.

This will redirect any Internet Traffic from your homeworkers to your Firewall appliance and from there to the Internet.

This is the one size fits all approach, if you need just a few destinations routed you can adapt accordingly.

Thanks Michael,

That's exactly what I needed. Sometimes it's knowing what something is called!

All the best,
