ER605 - use as an OpenVPN or Wireguard Server behind a Fortigate Firewall
Good Day!
Quick question: can I use an er605 (no Omada) as an OpenVPN or Wireguard server behind a Fortigate Firewall, portforwarded?
I am not very satisfied with the Firewall from Fortigate anymore as it is very complicated to handle and the Ipsec depends on Android versions, etc.
So, forwarding the acc. ports to the er605 behind my Fortigate where I install the OpenVPN or Wireguard should be ok then to be able to browse and enter the LAN from outside?
Regads,
Stephan

Here is a config for a similar solution.
the router is connected to the LAN with only the WAN port
you get to test and play a bit and you'll probably figure it out :-)

I will take a further look at it at the weekend, but did not find that option yet in the web interface of the er605 1, the one with the Internet, to port, for example, lan4 to wan1 of the second one.
Maybe, it only gets visible if physically connected? Please, if got time, name me the options menu to wuden my knowledge 😁
But under the line: best would be get rid of the Fortigate and use only one er605. It is already out of warranty and gets no antivirus Updates anymore and it is so f* complicated with new firmware and that new SDWAN thingy. I feel like an idiot already although I have dealt with this stuff for over 25 years and was able to do all my networking and computer stuff for 10 work places.

I don't have any routers in stand alone, but I found a simulator, here you port forward the wireguard port

if you can replace the fortigate with the ER605, it will be a bit easier, but as I said earlier, I would recommend a router with a bit more horsepower.
then throw out the fortigate and put in something that works
