Sonicwall Global Vpn Client Download For Mac

[Nella Mcnairy]

Ihave a TZ series FW, and have been using the Global VPN Client with the preshared key and it's been working fine. Just wondering if it's possible to use MFA when using the global vpn client? It doesn't look like it is, but wanted to confirm.

Inexplicably, this happens as soon as I open the client. Without even connecting to a VPN. The slowdown happens with or without the VPN connected. As soon as I shut down the client, my network speed goes back to normal.

Having the same issue, if I uninstall the Sonicwall GVC Client, WiFi works flawlessly. Once it is installed the WiFi Download speed is terrible, whilst upload is fine irrespective of whether or not I have an active VPN connection.

I did see a thread where an upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with a VPN Client (Sonicwall or Cisco) installed caused a potential registry key issue, just wondering whether or not a recent Windows 10 update has done something else. Be interested to see if anyone else experiences this and resolves it.

Evidently this is an issue with Windows 10. The solution is to disable Receive Segment Coalescing on the wireless adapter. Microsoft actually provides an automated fix as a download. It worked like a charm. I am back to my 50-80 Mbps download speeds with the VPN client running.

This has been plaguing my Surface for sometime now. For me, my WiFi speeds were terrible, with web pages taking ages to load images and text. I found that disabling the Citrix DNE filter from the wireless network properties completely resolved my issue. - if you disable this client, you are not able to use the global connect client until you re-enable. Perhaps a compatibility issue between the DNE and MS?

I had spent quite a bit of time trying to troubleshoot this and my workaround was to keep running the old out of date Global VPN client. Seems like SonicWall should be aware of this issue and update their Global VPN Client, or at least provide documentation of this resolution.

In another current case, the computer is running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and SonicWALL GVC 4.10.2 and the slowness problem occurs when the computer has the wireless connected, but the problem goes away when the ethernet cable is connected and being used.

The only thing keeping me from blowing away the crappy Vista install on my Toshiba laptop and going pure Ubuntu is the fact that I need to VPN to work and they use Sonicwall. Due to some proprietary voodoo used by that particular firewall setup on my work's end, I have to use the Sonicwall client which only runs on Windows.

Yes, there is a Sonicwall NetExtender client that is available for download from sonicwalls website. I use it all the time. Once installed just type netExtender (case sensitive) from the command line and you will be prompted for your creds.

I too, the same stage now. I did'nt tried OpenSwan VPN. How ever net extender won't help in my case. As per my knowledge we have to configure NetExtender in sonicwall device in-order to use NetExtender client

There is an official knowledge base article from SonicWall here that goes through the steps for Linux installation. They discuss both GUI and command line usage of the netExtender program once installed. The later is nice because you won't have to install additional Java dependencies for the GUI

I wanted to see if I can get some help with some session termination problems that I am experiencing for Global Protect users. Our remote users connect to an on-prem ERP systems through telnet, tcp/23. I recognize that this protocol has inherited performance and security problems, but unfortunately that's what we are given to work with. The bottom line is that Global Protect users get kicked off from telnet sessions constantly. Prisma Access is connected through a service connection to our on-prem Sonicwall firewall, where the ERP system lives.

To remediate these telnet issues, I have created an application override policy and attached a custom app-id with max TCP timeouts for tcp/23. This is getting applied to all Global Protect users. I have also increased the TCP timeouts in the Sonicwall firewall. However, users are getting kicked off the session while they are idle. The telnet server is designed to not kick off users for a long period of time, regardless if they're active or not.

I know that the app-id override with max TCP timeouts is working well because that same app override policy fixed the same session kick off issues that we were experiencing for some other users connecting from azure to the same on-prem ERP server.

I have collected some packet capture from the sonicwall firewall and from my computer, and every time I inspect the packets, I see that my Global Protect client is sending TCP Reset requests to the server. I also show in Cortex logs that the reason for the disconnect was client side. I am not sure as to why Global Protect would reset the telnet session all of a sudden.

Just thinking out loud here ... some timed event (for example HIP check occurs every hour by default) or some other event that correlates with the disconnects that could help us further with the investigation ?

Sorry for the late reply @kiwi ... the bottom line of this problem is that the sonicwall firewall needed constant attention because the policy rule that increased TCP timeouts, somehow every 2 weeks or so would become sort of inactive. Every time I increased the TCP time out on that sonicwall rule, users would stop complaining for 2 weeks and then the same story would happen over and over again.
