FW: RE: [FW1] SecureRemote via Internet connection sharing throug h h a DSL




I have been struggling with this issue for weeks. I poured over the
Phoneboy.com site, Linksys FAQ's and this mailing list for a solution.
Basically I would see a key exchange at the firewall and the first packet
from the system behind the Linksys router and no return packets. Yesterday
while looking at the firewall I noticed that the DMZ interface was on
192.168.1.1. I changed this to a different subnet and rebooted this morning.
Low and behold it started working.  

What happens when Joe user and Jim user both make a SR connection from home
on different cable systems but both with the same address (192.168.1.100
say) from the LAN side of their respective Linksys router? I tend to think
they each come from different public address so they should be ok. Is my
logic here correct?

Thanks,
Dan

This is totally not true. IKE/IPSEC works great from behind hide NAT with
Checkpoint Firewall-1. You might need to use IKE over TCP, and then UDP
encapsulation for the SR session. This can all be handled by the latest
version of Securemote

If you are using IPSEC through NAT, you may run into problems.  IPSEC will
only work with static NAT and not hide NAT.  Usually broadband solutions
like the ones your users have, will not provide enough addresses to do
static NAT thus causing a problem.  

The solution, if you are using IPSEC, you can not have any devices in
between the tunnel endpoints doing any kind of hide NAT.  Each box needs to
sit directly on the Internet or statically Nat'd to an internal address.

 << File: Card for <[email protected]> >> Hi all

I´ve faced the same problem: nat and securemote together do not work. It
seems that the encryption performed by securemote somehow hides all 
trace of internal private ip addressing on the home site so the nat 
router is not able to nat the internal private address to the public ip 
routable on the internet. That way the packet arrives to the firewall 
with a private ip address and no return is possible to home devices, as 
that ip is not routable. The encrypted packets do arrive to the 
firewall gateway, I´ve seen it on the log, but with private addressing 
(not natted to the public ip of the adsl router), so when returning 
packets they are dropped by the boundary router of the firewall.

What´s funny is that other different encryption clients (Altavista 
tunnel if you know it) do work under the same conditions. So Altavista 
seems to do the thing right, encrypting only data and not the tcp 
header in order to let the router nat the packet correctly to traverse 
the internet to get to the company and then back to the home device. 
The sad thing is that Altavista is out of production, as Compaq bought 
Digital and obsoleted it. 

So if Altavista is able to work what makes it different from securemote 
that makes this last unusable on adsl routers performing nat? And best, 
how can we make securemote behave like altavista in terms of nat, if 
possible? These two questions remain to be answered in order for me to 
tell my bosses (who all have nat routers with adsl at home) what to do 
to be able to work at home like they were at the office.

Any hint from any charitable soul would be much appreciated.

Best regards
