Choose an IP range not used anywhere else in your FB config
(and to avoid confusion choose something non-routable ege.g. from 10...)
Set the NAT flag on the ipsec roaming pool definition.
 
'''Think about the NAT'''
 
A problem arises however when the LAN subnet is non-routable (RFC1918 IPs, ege.g. 1923192.168.x.x).
In this case the LAN subnet is usually marked NAT in the FB config,
so LAN devices can communicate externally (obviously for outgoing
on the LAN and destined off-LAN).
 
This is overcome, either, by using mapping rules, or by disabling NAT on the LAN subnet and instead enabling NAT on the external internet connection, ege.g. in most cases this would be the PPP connection.
 
==Overview==
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<ipsec-ike force-NAT="0.0.0.0/0">
<connection name="server" roaming-pool="roam-pool" auth-method="Certificate" peer-auth-method="EAP" mode="Wait" local-ID="FQDN:server.example.com"/>
<roaming name="roam-pool" ip="[ranges of LAN IPs, inc IPv6]" DNS="[DNS, e.g. 8.8.8.8]"/>
</ipsec-ike>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Note: the force-NAT="0.0.0.0/0" forces keep-alives which are needed when NAT is involved between the endpoints but and also helps where stateful firewalls are in the route too. (without this set, you may find that the ipsec tunnel drops every hour or so)
Each roaming user then needs an <tt>eap</tt> user record.
 
Each roaming user then needs an <tt>eap</tt> user record. This goes with any user entries near the top of the config.

Here is how the above three config sections look in the User Interface (UI):

*Editing the DNS Service to allow non-local users, we'd recommend using an Allow list that includes the IPsec clients as well as the LAN clients if they are to also use the FireBrick as their DNS resolver. (Setup - General System Services - DNS)
