Set USG210 VPN to NAS

dmmichael

Hello everyone.

I have a zyxel usg210 firewall and I would like to configure an IPSec VPN to a qnap NAS of one of our branches (the branch does not have a firewall at the moment) I followed some questions but I cannot connect to the NAS it gives me DIAL connection error. The guides I have read refer to a firewall to firewall configuration but can you do firewall to NAS? (Notwithstanding that on the NAS I have configured ipsec)

Thanks

Hi @dmmichael  

I checked QNAP NAS, it has supported for PPTP server.

You can go to Configuration > Object > ISP Account to create a connection object.

And then apply it into PPP interface.

Configuration > Network > Interface > PPP

And create policy route for NAS connection.  Then should able access to NAS resource successfully.

Hi Stanley

I don't understand the part of creating policy routes, in your example in the destination entry what does the "NAS_IP_Sub" entry correspond to?

thanks a lot

please help me :-)

The NAS_IP_Sub is the IP of your NAS when you make a address object.

You might not be able to do IPSec only PPTP have you setup the PPTP ISP account?

The PPP would need to be setup to your base interface WAN1 or WAN2 with your PPTP.

The routing rule allows you to connect to the NAS over PPTP

the problem is that I can connect to the NAS but if I search for network resources I don't see it

PeterUK

So the PPTP connection to your NAS is up?

dmmichael

yes

PeterUK

Have you done the routing rule?

You also need to allow in the firewall so check in logs for blocks to the NAS.

i did it this way, i hope it is correct

If as you say you can connect to the NAS then the USG is setup correctly. Maybe theirs a setting on the NAS thats limiting you?
