VPN site to site and variable address in 1 location / USG20W-VPN

mlik

Hi,

To begin with, I would like to point out that I am a beginner when it comes to VPN connections. Thanks to this forum and extensive instructions on zyxel.com, I was able to set up an IPSec VPN connection between the two locations. I am using USG20W-VPN devices. VPN Site to Site configuration.

I have a problem determining remote rules in one location.

Location A

A computer with a fixed IP address

Location B

Laptop with a variable IP address

Location B is home. This is where the problem arises: I do not want to share the entire local network from location B to A. The second problem is I do not want to set a fixed IP address on a laptop that is mobile.

There is a solution: assign a MAC address to an IP address, but that blocks the rest of the home users and their mass of devices, which is constantly changing.

I want to easily connect a computer (with a fixed IP) and a laptop (with a variable IP) via a VPN tunnel via a VPN Site to Site.

The second option is, in case when location B changes (e.g. leaving home) how to configure VPN site to client, keeping the above configuration.

DHCP reservations on device on Location B. For both ethernet and wireless adapter.

Firewall rule for allowing VPN access from Location B to location A only from the two ip addresses (back and forth). Two addresses out of more than 200 cannot be that much of an hassle...

It may surprise you, but I didn't know about this feature. Despite everything, thanks for the hint.
