[ATP/FLEX] How to establish Site-to-Site IPsec VPN between Nebula and non-Nebula devices

Zyxel_James

The following is an example of setup site-to-site VPN between Nebula device(USG FLEX 100) and non-Nebula device(USG40).

Non-Nebula device USG40(on-premises) has a public IP, but Nebula device USG FLEX 100 is behind NAT.

Configure Steps

Nebula Device Configuration (USG FLEX 100)

Navigate to Firewall > Configure > Site-to-Site VPN > Non-Nebula VPN peers, click +Add and configure the VPN profile.

Input USG40 Public IP, Remote Private subnet, and Pre-Shared Secret

Click IPsec Policy Default, configure Phase1 and Phase 2 parameters

Non-Nebula Device Configuration (USG40)

Navigate to Configuration > VPN > IPsec VPN > VPN Gateway, click +Add to create a Gateway profile “NebulaFLEX100”

•  Select IKEv1 as IKE version

•  Select WAN1_ppp as My gateway address

• Input Pre-Shared Secret. It must be the same as Nebula device configuration

Scroll down to configure Phase1 parameters

Encryption: AES128, Authentication: SHA1, Key Group: DH2

Navigate to Configuration > VPN > IPsec VPN > VPN Connection, click +Add to create a Connection profile

• Select Remote Access(Server Role)

• Select the VPN Gateway profile “NebulaFLEX100”

• Select LAN1 subnet as Local Policy

Scroll down to configure Phase 2 parameters

Proposal 1: AES128, SHA1

Proposal 2: AES192, SHA256

PFS: DH2

Test Result

On Nebula Control Center, go to Firewall > Monitor > VPN connections to check VPN connection status

On Non-Nebula device(on-premises), go to Monitor > VPN Monitor > IPsec to check VPN connection status

Ping from USG FLEX 100 LAN1 device to USG40 LAN1 device
