Note: digging into the saved settings on Win 8.1, it appears to create an SSTP connection, and I'm not sure how that ties in with the 'SSL-VPN' support on the Sonicwall end. Off hand, I know of no way to use the native VPN in Win 8.0 (or earlier) to connect to the SSL-VPN on Sonicwalls, only to the IPSEC/L2TP client VPN.įor Windows 8.1, there is support built-in for Sonicwall SSL-VPN in the native Win 8.1 VPN client - you just pick "Sonicwall" as the type when setting it up and enter the name (FQDN) or IP address of your Sonicwall gateway and off you go.
#OLD VERSION SONICWALL SSL VPN CLIENT MAC OS X#
The firewall also supports L2TP ant it works fine with the Windows built-in VPN client (and several other ones) unfortunately, this is not an option: our people often travel to customer sites were Internet access is restricted to HTTP/S, thus a SSL VPN is a must.įor Sonicwall (either NSA-series or TZ-series firewalls using SSL-VPN, or SRA-series SSL-VPN appliances) you need to use NetExtender for Windows 8.0 or previous (or Mac OS X 10.8 or previous). Is it possible to estblish a SSL VPN connection to a SonicWall firewall from a Windows computer using only the built-in VPN client? If yes, how? but we would really prefer to avoid installing any software and use only the Windows built-in VPN client. The SonicWall firewall supports SSL VPNs, but it apparently requires a software called NetExtender to be installed it can be downloaded directly from the firewall login page, thus it's not really a big deal.
I'm in the process of replacing a ForeFront TMG 2010 firewall with a SonicWall NSA 3600 the current firewall provides VPN access to our network using SSTP, and it works like a charm with any recent Windows client, without requiring the installation of any additional software.
