Access External VPS from FortiGate WAN

Hi All,

 

Good Day,

 

I'm trying to access our VPS using SSH in a different port which was hosted from the same ISP providing us.

 

The VPS was using along our IP block from my WAN public ip address.

 

From FortiGate I've allowed in the policy and created own services for the port I'm trying to access in my internal network policy connected on Internet.

 

I can ping my external VPS and already configured to be listening on ex. port 26022

 

say for example:

 

VPS is in Port 26022

Internal is 22

 

But somehow I can't access it and resulting in connection timeout.

 

Do I need to configured a VIP for this as well?

For those fellow new ones to fortigate that may encounter this same scenario,

 

create a new service and then choose tcp from the destination fixed it to 0.0.0.0

 

specify port which you mapped from different address.
