Good day all,
I am running into some trouble trying to get a device behind a fortigate 80e on the LAN to talk to a device on the WAN at one of our remote sites
MQTT Device: 192.168.10.240
MQTT Broker: 10.29.1.224
Because of our security rules, we have to have these devices behind a Fortigate in order for them to talk to our MQTT Broker.
I created an Address for the MQTT Broker on the WAN on the Fortigate
I created an address for the MQTT Device on the LAN on the Fortigate
I Then created a firewall rule to allow the MQTT Device to talk to the MQTT Broker
After all this I set the MQTT software to look for the broker as the default gateway of the fortigate at 192.168.10.1. My thinking is that it will hit this interface and then forward the traffic out of the WAN and onto the MQTT Broker, but it does not connect at all. I also look at the hit counter on the firewall rule configured on the fortigate and it says their is 0 bytes of traffic on it.
Please let me know if you can spot where I am going wrong. I have been on this for weeks to no avail.
Thank you!
