VPNs and firewall/zone rules for VPN networks?

NETWORKING SOLUTIONS
1

I have some Teltonika RUTM51 devices that I would like to create a VPN(OpenVPN, IPSec) tunnel to our OpenVPN CloudConnexa VPC network.
Currently I run a openvpn-connector onsite that connects the CloudConnexa network but I am looking at replacing that with a tunnel from the RUTM.

Questions:

  • When I create the tunnel, how do I specify which lan/zone the tunnel interface is connected to?
  • Related ot the question above, how to create firewall rule and zone rules that allow traffic to/from the VPN?

Hello,

Apologies for the delay. To address your questions:

  1. When creating a VPN tunnel, the system automatically creates a dedicated firewall zone for the tunnel interface. You can review and adjust this in Network → Firewall → Zones, where you’ll see the newly created zone and its assigned destination and source zones:

  2. Firewall forwarding rules between zones are also applied by default when the tunnel is created, typically allowing traffic to/from the WAN. If you need to customize traffic flow to and from specific zones, you can do so under Network → Firewall → Traffic Rules. More details and examples on traffic rules can be found here.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Best regards,
