SonicWALL VPN provides a easy-to-setup, secure solution for connecting mobile users, telecommuters,
remote offices and partners via the Internet. Mobile users, telecommuters, and other remote users with
broadband (DSL or cable) or dialup Internet access can securely and easily access your network
resources with the SonicWALL Global VPN Client or Global Security Client and SonicWALL GroupVPN
on your SonicWALL.
Note:
For more information on the SonicWALL Global VPN Client, see the SonicWALL Global VPN Client
Administrator’s Guide. For more information on the SonicWALL Global Security Client, see the
SonicWALL Global Security Client Administrator’s Guide.
Remote office networks can securely connect to your network using site-to-site VPN connections that
enable network-to- network VPN connections.
Using the SonicWALL intuitive Management Interface, you can quickly create a VPN Security Association
(SA) to a remote site. Whenever data is intended for the remote site, the SonicWALL automatically
encrypts the data and sends it over the Internet to the remote site, where it is decrypted and forwarded to
the intended destination.
SonicWALL VPN is based on the industry-standard IPSec VPN implementation, therefore, it is
interoperable with other VPN products.

The VPN>Settings page provides the SonicWALL features for configuring your site-to-site VPN and your
VPN client to SonicWALL VPN policies.

the Identifier, and use it for configuring VPN tunnels.
