VPN Tunnel IPSEC L2L VPN NAT not acting as intended

L0 Member

I am Labbing up a configuration I am about to go live with in production but it is not acting as it should when trying to apply a NAT rule to a tunnel interface. When I apply individual rules to the vpn traffic as I would like it to act I am not getting the intended result. I have to select bi-direction to get the NAT rule to act as it should. It works that way but it bugs me on why it is not working as intdended. 
Zones:

If I change bi-directional to yes on VPN out the both directions work. If I leave it as NO the traffic does not hit VPN-IN no matter what I do. 

 

any suggestions of what is going on is greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

Matt

Hello,

If you are using a bi-directional NAT. I would recommend you set it to yes. This prevent asymmetric routing and could cause applications to fail.

Here is an article that may help.
