Solved: Re: vpn client's IP address needs to show external IP of ASA 550

coyote8921029 · ‎11-08-2010

Hi guys,

We have a small project with government which has some challenging requiment with security.

Current situation;

1. Government site has allowed one of our company's public IP address to access their internal server.

2. In our office, staffs can connect to their server using RDP through Cisco ASA 5505 I've configured with couple of clicks.

3. This ASA has outside(public) IP address government allowed.

Changed request;

1. Due to increased work, our staffs need to have access to government server from home.

2. Government will not provide vpn access to them directly.

3. They ask us to provide VPN access to our staff then RDP to government site.

I've setup VPN and it's connecting fine with no problem just for connection itself.

But if i check using www.whatismyIPaddress.com, it's showing local IP address they've got from their ISP not CISCO ASA 5505 outside interface.

The problem is unlike Microsoft ISA 2006 VPN which shows external public IP address when a client connects to VPN server, Cisco vpn client only shows it's local IP address which is not in the allowed list in government site.

I'm more like MS guy then Cisco as i did't have lots of chances to play with Cisco, sorry about this,

Is this something i missed in the middle of config or needs more setting to achieve this?

How can I make VPN client to show it's IP address with Cisco ASA interface rather than local ISP's IP address?

Thanks in advance,

Charlie

did you add "same-security-traffic permit intra-interface" as I told in the previous post?

Yudong Wu · ‎11-08-2010

Can you post your VPN configuration here?

I think you are using split tunnel, so the traffic to the internet won't go through the vpn tunnel and as a result, whatismyipaddress.com show the local public IP.

If you just use VPN to connect to your internal server and then from that server to use RDP to access the government server, you should be OK.

But if you are planing to let vpn client to RDP to the government server directly, you have to include the traffic to the government server in the split tunnel ACL, and then enable U-turn/NAT for this traffic on ASA so that they can reach the government server.

Hi Wu,

Thanks for your quick reply first of all,

"If you just use VPN to connect to your internal server and then from that server to use RDP to access the government server, you should be OK."

We thought about this and maybe the last resort as they will face lots of issues with copy and paste files between server and their local PC.

And YES, I made a split tunnel for traffic from client not to go through ASA.

I'm pretty newbie to this so please don't blame my ignorance,

Anyway here is configuration i made, just using show conf,

Yudong Wu · ‎11-08-2010

If you would like to let the client to RDP to the server directly, you need do the following to permit u-turn traffic.

- same-security-traffic permit intra-interface
- Add the following to ACL

access-list TelusVPN_splitTunnelAcl standard permit 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 (already in the config)

access-list TelusVPN_splitTunnelAcl standard permit host

- add the following nat

nat (outside) 1 VPN-network 255.255.255.192

If the vpn client need to access your internal host, you need add the following to bypass the nat for vpn traffic between client and internal host.

- nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat

- access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0

coyote8921029 · ‎11-10-2010

Hi Wu,

access-list TelusVPN_splitTunnelAcl standard permit host

Does mean ASA's outside interface IP or RDP server IP address?

I did with outside interface IP address and still show local PC's IP address instead of ASA IP address hence it's not connecting.

Charlie

Yudong Wu · ‎11-10-2010

That IP should be the government server's IP which your vpn client will use to connect to via RDP.

After adding it in your ACL, vpn client's RDP traffic to the government server will go through the tunnel to your ASA5505. And then the packet will be decrypted and make a u-turn to the Internet to access the government server.

vpn client's IP will be NAT-ed at ASA5505 to its outside interface IP which is allowed at government server side.

coyote8921029 · ‎11-10-2010

Looks like still packet came out of ASA is not NATed or something else...

It's still showing client's IP address instead of NATed IP address.

Anyways if you don't mind, could you please take a look at config file again?

remove the following

nat (outside) 0 VPN-network 255.255.255.192

nat (inside) 1 VPN-network 255.255.255.192

Adding the following

access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 VPN-network 255.255.255.192

nat (outside) 1 VPN-network 255.255.255.192

nat (inside) 0 nonat

You won't see vpn client's public IP as 72.14.168.94 at whatismyipaddress.com since you have split-tunnel here. But if the client try to RDP to the government server, its IP will be nat-ed to 72.14.168.94 at ASA.

did you add "same-security-traffic permit intra-interface" as I told in the previous post?

coyote8921029 · ‎11-11-2010

Hi Wu,

Thanks million,

Your instruction works and I am very happy to finish this.

Actually I did that - same-security-traffic - before and looked like it's not saved.

Have a great day and happy networking ,

Cheers,

Charlie

vpn client's IP address needs to show external IP of ASA 5505
