VPN Guide

The VPN Guide lets you quickly create a Site-to-Site VPN policy to another SonicWall device or configure a WAN GroupVPN policy to accept incoming VPN connections from SonicWall Global VPN Client.

The Site-to Site wizard provides sequential screens in which you input preshared key information, the IP address of the remote peer, local and destination network objects, and security settings for IKE Phase 1 and IPSec Phase 2.

The WAN GroupVPN wizard provides sequential screens in which you input preshared key information, the encryption and authentication security settings, user authentication, and optionally enable the virtual adapter for obtaining DHCP addresses in the X0 range.
