Chapter 29: Configuring VPN Policies
VPN > Settings
SonicWALL VPN, based on the industry-standard IPSec VPN implementation, provides a easy-to-
setup, secure solution for connecting mobile users, telecommuters, remote offices and partners via
the Internet. 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. Remote
office networks can securely connect to your network using site-to-site VPN connections that enable
network-to- network VPN connections.

Global VPN Client Administrator’s Guide. For more information on the SonicWALL Global Security
Client, see the SonicWALL Global Security Client Administrator’s Guide.
SonicWALL’s GroupVPN provides automatic VPN policy provisioning for SOnicWALL Global VPN
Clients. The GroupVPN feature on the SonicWALL security appliance and the SonicWALL Global
VPN Client (part of the Global security Client) dramatically streamline VPN deployment and
management. Using SonicWALL’s Client Policy Provisioning technology, you define the VPN policies
for Global VPN Client users. This policy information automatically downloads from the SonicWALL
security appliance (VPN Gateway) to Global VPN Clients, saving remote users the burden of
provisioning VPN connections.
You can easily and quickly create a site-to-site VPN policy or a GroupVPN policy for SonicWALL
Global Security Clients using the VPN Policy Wizard. You can also configure GroupVPN or
site-to-site VPN tunnels using the Management Interface. You can define up to four GroupVPN
policies, one for each Zone. You can also create multiple site-to-site VPN. The maximum number of
policies you can add depends on your SonicWALL model.
