VPN Console

The VPN Console enables you to create VPN configurations and copy them to the managed FortiGate units. To see the list of VPN configurations, go to VPN Console in the navigation pane of the Policy & Objects tab.


	To access the VPN Console, VPN consoles must be enabled. See “Enable or disable VPN consoles”.

When you have a VPN Console in the content pane list, selecting the name of that entry will take you to a new screen. From there you can create gateways and subnets for that VPN console. These are required if you configure a VPN Policy and select Specify Source/Destination Protected Subnets for the Policy Scope. See “Create VPN firewall policies”.
