VPN Issue - When VPN tunnel is established all other traffic is cut off?

Asked by RHADMIN in Network Routers, IPSec Security Protocol

Hi there,

I have a strange issue here and I'm hoping someone can help me out.  I'm trying to setup a VPN tunnel between our main office and a satellite office.  

*** The setup ***

Central site:
- Sonicwall Pro 3060
- WAN IP is 1.1.1.1
- LAN Subnet is 192.168.1.0

Satellite site:
- Sonicwall TZ180
- WAN IP is 2.2.2.2
- LAN subnet is 192.168.2.0

Other publicly accessible services are also hosted from the main site including things such as OWA.  i.e. 1.1.1.2 is our https://webmail address.

I'm running the tunnel in Agressive mode and I've made the WAN IP at the central site pingable.

*** The problem ***

I got the VPN tunnel to establish between both sites.  Unfortunately after a few hours all other publicly accessible services are no longer accessible.  i.e. External people can no longer reach OWA and etc from the public Internet.
As soon as the VPN tunnel has been terminated then those public services are restored.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on why this could be happening.

Thanks a lot in advance!Start Free Trial
