First a little explanation of my network topology.
I have a internal domain, and edge network domain. There is no trust between the two domains (and IT will not allow a one way trust to be set up between the internal and the edge network domain)
When passing through the router it will NAT the traffic to the edge network. So all traffic dmzHost.edgeNetwork.local
sees that did not originate on it's own sub-net appears will have a source IP of 192.168.10.10
. Interestingly, any traffic going from the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet will not be NATed when connecting to a computer in the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet (I sent a email to IT asking why this is, as I do not understand the benefit of NAT to the edge network but open access from the Edge network. I could see the reasoning behind 10.x -> 192.x = NAT
and 192.x -> 10.x = Dropped connection
but the fact that they allow the connection through confuses me)
What I am wanting to do is to disable the firewall to any authorized computer so it can do remote management. The method I tried to do was
- On dmzHost, create a Connection Security Rules entry with the following settings:
Endpoint 1
is set to192.168.10.40
through192.168.10.49
(this will be a GPO pushed out to several computers)Endpoint 2
is set toAny IP address
- Protocols and Ports is set to
Any
- Authentication Requirements is set to
Request inbound and outbound
- Authentication Method is set to
Advanced
with the first authentication method set toPreshared Key
- On lanPC, follow the same setup execpt:
- Set
Endpoint 1
toAny IP address
- Set
Endpoint 2
to192.168.10.40
through192.168.10.49
- Set
Checking Main Mode
and Quick Mode
under Security Associations I can see the connection established.
Main Mode:
Local Address Remote Address 1st Authentication Method 2nd Authentication Method Encryption Integrity Key Exchange
192.168.10.40 192.168.10.10 Preshared key No authentication AES-CBC 128 SHA-1 Diffie-Hellman Group 2
Quick Mode:
Local Address Remote Address Local Port Remote Port Protocol AH Integrity ESP Integrity ESP Encryption
192.168.10.40 192.168.10.10 Any Any Any None SHA-1 None
Now when I set up the firewall rule, this is when it breaks.
I set up the firewall rule to allow all ports and all programs, however under Action
I change from Allow the connection
to Allow the connection if it is secure
then under customize I have it set for Allow the connection to use null encapsulation
.
Name Group Profile Enabled Action Override Program Local Address Remote Address Protocol Local Port Remote Port Allowed Users Allowed Computers
Allow full access to any computer with PSK All No Secure (No encapsulation) No Any 192.168.10.40-192.168.10.49 Any Any Any Any Any Any
When I enable that setting I lose all connections to 192.168.10.40 that has been NAT'ed by the router, I had to connect to another computer in the edge network and remote in from there to disable the firewall rule.
What do I need to do so lanPC.example.com
can do remote administration (without needing to RDP in) on dmzHost.edgeNetwork.local
?
