Configuring a site-to-site VPN tunnel with Coro Network and USG¶

As part of a virtual office, Coro includes the ability for customers to configure VPNs together with site-to-site tunnels.

This guide describes how to configure Coro to integrate with a UniFi Security Gateway (USG) firewall, and how to configure UniFi USG to allow traffic for your VPN from both inside and outside the network.

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

• Access as an admin user with sufficient permissions to the Coro console for your workspace.
