IPSec VPN over loopback interface is an increasingly popular deployment because of its many benefits, including ability to control preferred primary and secondary paths leveraging the link monitor config for dynamic failover...this improves the reliability and stability of VPN tunnels significantly!!

Thanks man. Appreciate all your work, find the background music distracting though.

[@staticroute]

Hey, just curious and looking to improve things always, do you mean the background music volume is too high or you’d prefer no background music altogether?

[@eoghancullen]

@@staticroute seems particularly high in this video but I'd prefer none at all.

[@SelvaKumar-rl5wn]

Better pls proceed without background music

[@npham1198]

Wouldn’t this prevent IPsec from being offloaded on anything less than a 400F?

[@staticroute]

To my knowledge any Fortigate with hardware acceleration chipset can offload IPSec unless disabled. ADVPN just has an additional extension and should still offload to NPx…

[@staticroute]

Maybe someone knows more about this and can show us with hardware 300x hardware…

[@thiagoferreira05]

Sorry to bother you, but I can't understand in the beginning the way the loopback interface flows data, how was it possible?

[@staticroute]

I think of the loopback interface the same as VLAN interface,they’re both logical interfaces

[@staticroute]

Hey Thiago, were you satisfied with the answer?

@@staticroute He ment how it's pingable and it private ip address, have you configure VIP for LOOPback interface to be reachable!!
