Dynamic VPN with WatchGuard

[JMBates]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a peculiar deployment I have to circumnavigate and get working. We have an outlying building that has been bought by the school for relocating administration staff and there is no budget to dig a trench and fibre the building in to the existing school network. The solution proposed would be to use a home-grade ADSL modem (with a dynamic IP address) with a WatchGuard firewall creating a VPN tunnel back to main site. I am unsure how I would go about creating a dynamically initiated VPN tunnel from the outlying building back to the main site where the IP address will remain statically.

 

Has anyone been able to achieve this before?

 

Thanks.

I have done work with Watchguard before, how many clients do you have there?

Four to begin with then going up to ten admin staff.

Not been on a Firebox for a while but do you still have the option to create a Dynamic DNS account and use that rather than IP?
