How do you integrate IPSec VPN with NAT on FortiGate with other network devices and services?
If you want to establish a secure and private connection between your network and another network over the internet, you can use IPSec VPN. IPSec VPN encrypts and authenticates the traffic that passes through it, preventing unauthorized access and tampering. But what if you also need to translate the IP addresses of your network devices to hide them from the public internet? You can use NAT, or network address translation, to do that. NAT maps your private IP addresses to public ones, allowing your devices to communicate with external networks without exposing their real identities. In this article, you will learn how to integrate IPSec VPN with NAT on FortiGate, a popular firewall and network security appliance.
