About NetExtender

NetExtender is a transparent software application for Windows and Linux users that enables remote users to securely connect to a network accessed through a SonicWall appliance. With NetExtender, remote users can securely run any application on the remote network. Users can upload and download files, mount network drives, and access resources as if they were on the local network. The NetExtender connection uses a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection.

This release supports all the features and contains all the resolved issues found in previous NetExtender releases. For more information, see the previous release notes, available on MySonicWall at: https://mysonicwall.com.
