Testing Your SSL VPN Connection

Now you have configured your SonicWALL UTM appliance and

SonicWALL SSLVPN 4000 for secure SSL VPN remote access.This section provides

instructions to verify your SSL VPN connection using a remote client on the WAN.

Verifying a User Connection from the Internet

1. From a WAN connection outside of your corporate network, launch a Web browser

and enter the following:

https:// <WAN_IP_address_of_gateway_device>______________________

Note: It will be easier for your remote users to access the SonicWALL SSL VPN

appliance using an FQDN (fully qualified domain name) rather than an IP address. For

example, browsing to “http://www.sonicwall.com” is simpler than browsing to

“http://64.41.140.167”. It is therefore recommended, if you have not already done so, that

you create a DNS record to allow for FQDN access to your SonicWALL SSL VPN

appliance. If you do not manage your own public DNS servers, contact your Internet

Service Provider for assistance.

For configurations where your ISP provides dynamic IP addressing rather than a static IP

address, refer to the steps in “Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 51 to set up DDNS for

your remote users.

2. When prompted, enter the User Name and Password created in “Adding a Local

User” on page 9 of this guide.

3. Select LocalDomain from the drop-down menu and click the Login button. The

SonicWALL Virtual Office screen appears in your Web browser.
