Inbound NAT

The FortiGate unit translates the source address of incoming packets to the

IP address of the FortiGate interface connected to the source address

network. Typically, this is an internal interface of the FortiGate unit.
Inbound NAT makes it impossible for local hosts to see the IP addresses of

remote hosts (hosts located on the network behind the remote VPN

gateway).

Outbound NAT The FortiGate unit translates the source address of outgoing packets to the

IP address of the FortiGate interface connected to the destination address

network. Typically, this is an external interface of the FortiGate unit.
Outbound NAT makes it impossible for remote hosts to see the IP

addresses of local hosts (hosts located on the network behind the local VPN

gateway).
If Outbound NAT is implemented, it is subject to these limitations:
— Configure Outbound NAT only at one end of the tunnel.
— The end which does not implement Outbound NAT requires an Int->Ext

policy which specifies the other end’s external interface as the Destination.

(This will be a public IP address.)
— The tunnel, and the traffic within the tunnel, can only be initiated at the

end which implements Outbound NAT.
