I have been given a public IP address that I can assign to the firewall. This would be the IP address I use to connect to us via VPN, as well as the IP address I use to route to their internal network. Will this work? Will the firewall allow me to access the internal ENC Dom via the external interface and connect to the VPN at the same time?</P><P>Thank you for your answers <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:15:01 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/ENC-on-external-Interface/m-p/258166#M50617 Maik1 2025-09-25T09:15:01Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/ENC-on-external-Interface/m-p/258179#M50621 <P>Perhaps a diagram would help explain how your scenario is different to a regular S2S VPN?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:41:30 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/ENC-on-external-Interface/m-p/258179#M50621 Chris_Atkinson 2025-09-25T12:41:30Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/ENC-on-external-Interface/m-p/258180#M50622 <P>Sounds like that would work, as long as correct route(s) are in place.</P> <P>Andy</P> Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:46:22 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/ENC-on-external-Interface/m-p/258180#M50622 the_rock 2025-09-25T12:46:22Z
