From what I can tell, SonicWall does not offer their GlobalVPN Client in an OS X-compatible version. 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.
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.
Allow managed devices to securely access your corporate data center with a familiar remote VPN experience through SonicWall Global VPN client. It is a traditional client-based VPN that can be configured either as an IPsec or SSL end-point agent. Hi guys, got an issue with Sonicwall's SSL VPN and it's security, I can connect fine to the SSL VPN, but can't remote desktop to my business PC with my mac. If I use my home PC to office PC, work fine. If I share my cell phones internet, the mac will connect to the SSL VPN and remote desktop. And also I did test this from a friends home, all. It’s relatively easy to connect a Windows machine/client, to a SonicWALL firewall using their free Global VPN Client. But it’s always been a headache to connect a Mac OSX computer, to a SonicWALL firewall. Well let me take that back. It’s relatively easy to use equinux’s VPN Tracker to connect to a SonicWALL. One of the easiest, and cheapest (read 'free') solutions is to turn on L2TP in the SonicWALL device. Then use the built-in L2TP VPN client in the Mac. (Network Preference Pane in System Preferences, plus sign to and an interface, choose VPN, then choose L2TP over IPSEC).
MacPro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
