Client VPN traffic and routing over IPsec Tunnel

L3 Networker

Hi there,

Here is our scenario that I am trying to figure out.

We have two sites (main office and a rack in a data center) that are connected via PAN-2020's on both sides through a IPsec Tunnel. I am trying to route Client VPN traffic that connects at our main office to go over the site-to-site tunnel to access some web servers there. It seems the traffic goes over the tunnel, but all is marked as incomplete. Below is my config..is it a route metric issue or a routing issue in the Client VPN traffic config? Our VPN clients are obtaining DNS from internal domain controllers. Our web server are defined with internal zones on those domain controllers, that is why I am having this issue. Any help would be appreciated.  Can provide additional details as needed.

Main Office:

Zones:

Trust Zone - (192.168.x.x/16)

SSL-VPN Zone - (172.x.x.x/24) - no split brained routing (0.0.0.0/0)

Site-to-Site Tunnel


Routes:

Default Route: 0.0.0.0/0 - metric 10

Trust Zone - metric 5

SSL-VPN Zone - next hop 0.0.0.0 - metric 8

All traffic over tunnel to remote zones - metric 5

Security Policies:

Trust Zone & SSL-VPN zone to Tunnel - allow all traffic

Data Center Rack:

Zones:

Trust Zone - (10.20.x.x/16)

Untrust Zone - (10.30.x.x/16) - were web servers are

Site-to-Site Tunnel


Routes:

Default Route: 0.0.0.0/0 - metric 10

Trust Zone - metric 1

Untrust Zone - metric 1

All traffic over tunnel to remote zones - metric 1

Security Policies:

Trust Zone & Untrust Zone to Tunnel - allow all traffic

Hello cmateam,

Incomplete means that either the three way tcp handshake did NOT complete or the three way tcp handshake did complete but there was no data after the handshake to identify the application. In other words that traffic you are seeing is not really an application.

So to explain a little clearer, if a client sends a server a syn and the Palo alto device creates a session for that syn, but the server never sends a syn-ack in response back to the client, then that session would be seen as incomplete.


Could you please share the session detail info here and do packet captures on the firewall at the transmit, receive and drop stage.

Thanks

Here is the screen shots and packet captures.  Hope this helps.

Packet Captures: Dropbox - PAN (doesn't look like I can upload the packet captures here) this is on the firewall handling the Client VPN traffic)

You may try to traceroute from servers to vpn clients and see what is wrong.seems to be routing issue.Try to add a route for a web server and forward its traffic for vpn subnet through tunnel.see if it works

Traceroute helped identify the problem and reading this post: Accessing all company networks with GlobalProtect client - turns out it was a route that needed to be added on the other side to return the traffic back to the client.  Looks like everything is working as expected.
