Global VPN Client Overview

The SonicWall Global VPN Client creates a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between your computer and the corporate network to maintain the confidentiality of private data. The Global VPN Client provides an easy‐to‐use solution for secure, encrypted access through the Internet for remote users.

Custom developed by SonicWall , the Global VPN Client combines with GroupVPN on SonicWall Internet Security Appliances to dramatically streamline VPN deployment and management. Using the SonicWall’s Client Policy Provisioning technology, the SonicOS administrator establishes the VPN connections policies for the Global VPN Clients. The VPN configuration data is transparently downloaded from the SonicWall VPN Gateway (SonicWall Internet Security Appliance) to Global VPN Clients, removing the burden of provisioning VPN connections from the user.

For configuring your SonicWall security appliance to support Global VPN Clients using SonicOS GroupVPN, see the SonicOS Administration Guide for the firmware version running on your SonicWall security appliance (your VPN gateway appliance).
