For the most part, people play to their license counts, and SSLVPN licenses are more portable, since they are cross-platform. I use both Mobile Connect and the GVC, and imo they both work pretty well. SonicWALL Global VPN is a tool used to connect to corporate networks securely. IIRC, this one should be cross-platform, and last I checked, didn't require any licensing at all, but it's no longer a 'supported' feature, so if it doesn't work, Sonicwall won't help you fix it. If you're super old school, Sonicwall still supports a legacy protocol suite L2TP. SSL VPN is one method of allowing remote users to connect to the SonicWall and access the internal network resources.
On a Mac/Linux/iPhone/Android, SSLVPN is your only solution - the GVC does not have a Mac variant. NetExtender/Mobile Connect is also multi-platform - Mac OSX, Windows, Android, iPhones, and even Linux. It uses NetExtender, or the Sonicwall Mobile Connect software. SSLVPN uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to do the encryption. IPSec is also the technology that the Global VPN Client uses, only the GVC is a remote access solution. Site to site tunnels (such as from one sonicwall to another sonicwall) use a protocol suite called IPSec, and there are many modes, forms of encryption, and forms of authentication that can be used. They all do essentially the same basic task - encrypt data that is sent over (usually) public networks so that it remains private. VPNs can be used to access region-restricted websites, shield your browsing activity from prying eyes on public Wi-Fi, and more.VPNs come in many varieties, and can use several different protocols. The encrypted SSL VPN connection will protect traffic from being intercepted and keep in-flight data secure.
Click Apply to save the VPN connection, and then click Close to return to the Remote Access screen.Ī VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. Simply install and launch the SonicWall Mobile Connect application on their iOS, OS X, Android, Chrome OS or Windows 10 device to establish a secure connection to your next-generation firewall appliance.The client provides anytime, anywhere access to critical.
Likewise, people ask, how do I connect to SSL VPN?
NetExtender allows remote clients seamless access to resources on your local network.
