Remote access has become a business imperative. For IPSec VPN, SonicWall Global VPN Client enables the client system to download the VPN client for a more traditional client-based VPN experience.īusinesses large and small need to address the growing demands of more distributed work sites and an increasingly mobile workforce in order to compete in today’s global marketplace. For SSL VPN, SonicWall NetExtender provides thin client connectivity and clientless Web-based remote access for Windows, Windows Mobile, Mac and Linux-based systems. (Network Preference Pane in System Preferences, plus sign to and an interface, choose VPN, then choose L2TP over IPSEC). Then use the built-in L2TP VPN client in the Mac. One of the easiest, and cheapest (read 'free') solutions is to turn on L2TP in the SonicWALL device.
It would seem the onus of this responsibility lies with SonicWall but repeated calls to their support and sales team yield very little usable information. Since this program is essentially free-of-cost to end-users who use it to connect to their firewalls at their office, I am wondering if there is another program that I can use that will allow me to connect to the SonicWall at work that is also free of charge. I have tried to look up this answer on my own but am not finding any definitive answer.įrom what I can tell, SonicWall does not offer their GlobalVPN Client in an OS X-compatible version.
