Updating the Connect Tunnel Application

Connect Tunnel can be updated either automatically or manually. Your administrator controls the auto-update based on the policy settings. End-users can manually update the client anytime after receiving the new installer.

Auto Update

The network administrator may issue software updates when a new version of the Connect Tunnel software becomes available or when your network requirements change. Your administrator determines whether and when to make software updates available.

If your administrator has enabled the Connect Tunnel software update, an alert appears during the login process whenever an Connect Tunnel update is ready to download.

After updating the Connect Tunnel, do the following steps for the auto-update:

• During login, if the Connect Tunnel Software Update dialog box appears to indicate that a software update is available, the available options depend on how your administrator has configured software updating:

  • Click Yes or OK to download and install the software update immediately. If you select this option, the software updates and installs automatically, then the login process continues.
  • Click No to postpone the software update and continue logging in. If you select this option, Connect Tunnel prompts you again (once per day) until you download and install the update by clicking Yes or OK. Depending on how your administrator has configured Connect Tunnel, this option may be unavailable.
  • Click Cancel to cancel the software update and the login process.

Manual Update

To perform a manual update, Connect Tunnel installer can be downloaded from the workplace portal, the SonicWall.com portal or from the administrator.
