Need to block all outside VPN connections in Meraki. How to configure this and what are the information required. Is there any supporting Meraki Documentation to refer.

Hi Rahul,

Hope you are doing well !

outside vpn here refers to Site to Site VPN. I am assuming the same.

To block all outside VPN connections on a Meraki network, you need to configure firewall rules within the Meraki dashboard, specifically targeting VPN traffic by protocol and port numbers, effectively denying all incoming connections on those ports; you can access relevant documentation in the Meraki dashboard under "Security & SD-WAN > Configure > Firewall.

But before the above steps permit the connection  from known vpn peer on same protocol.

If you are referring to client to site vpn.

If you are referring to client VPN (users outside of your network connecting in), turned off client VPN on the MX.

If you are talking about things like BitTorrent, use a layer 7 firewall rule.

If you are talking about privacy VPNs, use content filtering and block these two:
