Managing GroupVPN Policies
The GroupVPN feature provides automatic VPN policy provisioning for Global VPN Clients (GVC). The GroupVPN feature on the SonicWall network security appliance and GVC streamlines VPN deployment and management. Using the Client Policy Provisioning technology, you define the VPN policies for GVC users. This policy information downloads automatically from the firewall (VPN Gateway) to GVC, saving remote users the burden of provisioning VPN connections.
GroupVPN policies facilitate the set up and deployment of multiple Global VPN Clients by the firewall administrator. GroupVPN is only available for GVC and you should use XAUTH/RADIUS or third-party certificates in conjunction with it for added security. For more information on how to create GroupVPN policies for any zones, navigate to OBJECT | Match Objects > Zones | +Add Zone.
SonicOS/X provides default GroupVPN policies for the WAN zone and the WLAN zone, as these are generally the less trusted zones. These default GroupVPN policies are listed in the VPN Policies table on the NETWORK | IPSec VPN > Rules and Settings page and can be customized:
- WAN GroupVPN
- WLAN GroupVPN
GroupVPN policies are not automatically created in SonicOS/X with factory default settings. However, these policies remain unchanged on appliances that are upgraded from an earlier version of SonicOS/X. For information about Group VPN and Global VPN Client, refer to Types of Group VPN/Global VPN Client Scenarios and Configurations (SW7411).
