how can I do a site to site vpn between routers when 1 router is behin

mmercald

I am deploying a cisco router at a clients home connect to the office using site to site vpn and VTI. However infront of the router is a meraki firewall that is managed by a 3rd party who will not do any pats or nats for us. I am trying to do a hub and spoke model using email address as the identity for the spoke. I have it set so the spoke is the one that initiates the connection. However after the connection gets initated the hub tries to send a responder message to the public ip that belongs to the meraki and in which this is failing. Any idea how I can get around this?

if the FW dont do NAT you cannot run VTI
you need to add NAT in FW

the firewall is natting traffic, it has a default nat setup for internet traffic.  But my company does not have access to the firewall and they other company will not setup a nat or pat for us.  Hence I need to setup a site to site vpn betwen the spoke router and hub router when the spoke router has no inbound access from the hub router?

what platform you want to use for VTI?

as stated above I am using 2 routers, hub is an ASR and the spoke is an 8200

Sorry I check without make FW NAT port 500/4500 the vpn not success.

Basic outbound NAT should just work fine.. there is no need to allow inbound NAT.. Please get debugs on both sides:

also attach config if you can..

if you have too many tunnels on the headend, you can do conditional debug:
