Check Point site-to-site VPN with full route



This post will demonstrate, step by step, how to configure a site-to-site VPN between 2 Check Point security gateways, were all traffic from site B is routed through site A, and will use site A public IP for internet access – hence full tunnel from site B to site A.

Each site is managed by its own, so I have two security management servers.

This is the network topology diagram:

First step we will create network objects:

Right click on Networks -> Network and add the remote site network




Now create a simple group which will gather all remote site networks, in case we have more than one, right click on Groups -> Groups -> Simple group



In the following group we will add all the remote networks.

Repeat these steps for local networks and group:



Now let’s create the remote peer object, right click on Check Point -> Check Point -> More -> Externally Managed VPN Gateway



Type in the machine name, IP address and check Firewall and IPSec VPN checkboxes:


Next choose Topology, in the right pane, and under VPN Domain choose Manually defined and select the remote peer group we made earlier:


Do the same step for our locally security gateway, and make sure that the local VPN group is set:


This group represent the local networks which are behind our security gateway.

Next let’s create the VPN community, select IPSec VPN in the products pane, click on New and choose Star Community:



Type a name for the community and check Accept all encrypted traffic check box:

Select Center Gateways in the right pane, click Add and choose the gateway that will be the center, in our case CP-CLUSTER, which is the security gateway of site A:


Then select Satellite Gateways, click Add and choose site B gateway, in our case CP-SG3:


Leave encryption with his default settings:


Select Tunnel Management, check Set Permanent Tunnels check box:


Select Advanced Settings -> VPN Routing and click on To Center, or through the center to other satellites, to internet and other VPN targets:


This setting will force the satellites to route all traffic through the center gateway.

Select Excluded Services, click Add and choose IKE:


Select Shared Secret, check Use Only Shared Secret for all External members, then click on the peer name, click edit and type in the shared secret (Check Point recommend to use a shared secret with no less the 20 characters):


Select Advanced VPN Properties, and under NAT check Disable NAT inside the VPN community:


Click OK and close the Star Community.

Last step we need to create Firewall policy to allow traffic between the two sites, select Firewall in the products pane and choose Policy. Add new rule between the two groups (local and remote VPN groups) in both directions:




To finish click on Install Policy.

Please note that those steps should be configured on both sides each with his corresponding objects and settings.

Also the following steps should be configured only on the center gateway -
Add Firewall policy rule to allow site B networks to access the internet:


And add NAT rule for remote site network:



Now when client in network 192.168.20.0/24 will access the internet, he will pass-through CP-CLUSTER and will use his external IP.

Products List:
CP-CLUSTER – Check Point R77.20
CP-SG3 – Check Point R77.30

  29. A virtual private network or VPN service is the tool that is commonly used these days to protect the privacy of users when surfing the web. They can do this by creating a sort of encrypted tunnel where all the data that you submit on the web can pass through. Because it's encrypted, it will be impossible for people who intercept the data to read and understand it. deep web
