tab at the top of the window.

VPN
tab defaults to a

setting. This feature facilitates the
set up and deployment of multiple VPN clients by the administrator of the SonicWALL
appliance. Security settings can now be exported to the remote client and imported into
the remote VPN client settings.
Group VPN
allows for easy deployment of multiple
VPN clients as it eliminates the need to individually configure remote VPN clients.

security.

Service
