Hub and Spoke VPN using the VPN Prosafe Client
This document describes the steps to undertake in configuring a Hub-and-Spoke network over
the Internet using VPNs (box-to-box and client-to-box).
In particular it describes how to allow VPN clients (Spoke) to access Remote LANs (Spokes) via
a single VPN connection to a central (Hub) Firewall/Router.
The configuration can apply to any of the VPN Firewall/Router from firmware version 3.5.0.24 and
above, and VPN clients from version 10.8.3 and above.
The diagram below shows a typical scenario.

VPN configuration
The setup will require the creation of multiple VPN policies:
FVX538
- 1x Box-to-box policy from the FVX538 to the FVS338 (Policy name: BoxtoBox)
- 1x Client-to-Box policy on the FVX538 to connect to the VPN clients (Policy name:
LAN1toVPN)
- 1x Manual VPN policy using the IKE policy used for the box-to-box connection to
allow the VPN clients to connect to the LAN behind the FVS338 (Policy name:
LAN2toClient)
FVS338
- 1x Box-to-box policy from the FVS338 to the FVX538 (Policy name: BoxtoBox)
- 1x Manual VPN policy using the IKE policy used for the box-to-box connection to
allow the FVS338 to connect to the VPN clients (Policy name: LAN2toClient)
VPN Client
- 1x Policy connecting to the Public address of the FVS338 specifying as the IP range
for the Remote party 172.22.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 (class full only mask accepted)
