Dialup VPNs are useful where remote branches have no fixed ip address, such as LTE, etc…I hope you find the video useful and as always, I’m curious to know how many people are using Dialup or intend using dialup VPN

[@ryancheungkkable]

Will use it in our production environment soon

[@danielcampbell6059]

Can you explain what the purpose of creating the user and group on the HUB, if there its not entered anywhere on the spoke routers?

[@staticroute]

This config is not as straight as one would hope, but the spokes do use their hostname/local-id as username and the PSK as the password. It' not a simple username|password combination..check it here: docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.4/administration-guide/6896/fortigate-as-dialup-client

I have similar situation, but i have the problem, that with 2 Peers, only one stay online, second is disconnected, if other shows activity the active peer changes, like only one Peer can stay online?

Hey there, you're probably looking for something like ADVPN, I'm uploading a video on that very topic right now, should publish in a few hours. ADVPN improves on Dialup VPNs by enabling spokes to make on-demand connections to each other therefore literally achieving "full-mesh". In the video, I setup BGP with Hub as route reflector, in the case of OSPF, the config is a tiny bit different...please check it out, I'd be interested to know if it's what you're looking for.

@@staticroute Finally i could fix it, no ADVPN needed.
Well on the HUB, Phase2 Selectors is Local and Remote 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 and i had to delete static routes toward the branches, cause Only if the Interface Name in the routes is with "_0" or "_1" etc. it knows to which tunnel the traffic needs to go, if there is a static route on the Hub toward the branches the interface in the route not has "_0" in it, so it can`t know which peer it should take
On the Branches, the Phase2 Selector is local the local Subnets and Remote is also just 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0, cause Fortinet can handle that.

In FGT 01 Where to define dialup client Tunnel IP range?

[@staticroute]

In our example, we don’t require the use of routing protocols, so the tunnel interface doesn’t need an ip address.

[@MrSatadal]

@@staticroute can you please make a video of dial UP ipsec with BGP?
If already have the video please share link.

[@staticroute]

I’m publishing that video today, thank you for the suggestion..
