SonicWALL VPN Options Overview
The SonicWALL security appliance can be configured to support remote VPN clients and/or site-to-
site VPN connections between offices. SonicWALL VPN is based on the industry-standard IPSec
VPN implementation.
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 security
appliance.
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. Both guides on the SonicWALL
security appliance Resource CD or available at the SonicWALL documentation Web site at

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 security appliance’s
management interface, you can quickly create a VPN policy 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.
