Hi,

 

I have configured GP external gateway and all is well.

But i see my ssl tunnel connection from my public ip to GP  public ip this traffic is decrypted.

 

I have no decryption policies configured for this.

 

this traffic is from external to external zone.

 

need to understand how this traffic is beging decrypted?

@MP18,

This traffic will always show 'decrypted' according to the logs. This has to do with how a VPN functions and the fact that the firewall needs to decrypt this traffic so that it can unwarp the data.

Hello,

Could you expand on your question and setup? What are your logs showing? The traffic between the GP and PAN is encrypted but the PAN does the decryption for the VPN tunnel. Do you have any decyrption policies setup?

 

Please advise,

I mean to say only GP connection setup traffic from my pc public ip to GP gateway shows as decrypted in traffic logs.

traffic going to internet is not decrypted.

 

I have no decryption policies setup
