Attributes - Defines the status of Tunnel All support. These settings are controlled at the SonicWALL VPN gateway.

Other traffic allowed - If enabled, your computer can access the local network or Internet connection while the VPN connection is active.

Default traffic tunneled to peer - If activated, all network traffic not routed to the SonicWALL VPN gateway is blocked. When you enable the VPN connection with this feature active, the Connection Warning message appears.

Use virtual IP address - Allows the VPN Client to get its IP address via DHCP through the VPN tunnel from the gateway.

Enable this connection when the program is launched - Establishes the VPN connection policy as the default VPN connection when you launch the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.

Immediately establish security when connection is enabled - Negotiates the first phase of IKE as soon as the connection is enabled instead of waiting for network traffic transmission to begin. This setting is enabled by default.

Automatically reconnect when an error occurs - With this feature enabled, if the Global VPN Client encounters a problem connecting to the peer, it keeps retrying to make the connection. This feature allows a Global VPN Client to make a connection to a VPN connection that is temporarily disabled, without manual intervention. If the connection error is due to an incorrect configuration, such as the DNS or IP address of the peer gateway, then the connection must be manually corrected. Check the Log Viewer to determine the problem and then edit the connection. This option is enabled by default. If an error occurs with this option disabled during an attempted connection, the Global VPN Client logs the error, displays an error message dialog box, and stops the connection attempt.

Automatically reconnect when waking from sleep or hibernation - Automatically re-enables the VPN connection policy after the computer wakes from a sleep or hibernation state. This setting is disabled by default.

Execute logon script when connected - Allows the Global VPN Client to perform domain authentication after logging into the SonicWALL VPN Gateway and establishing a secure tunnel.

Run the following command when connection is established - Allows a program to be automatically executed, with optional arguments, when successful VPN connections are established.

User Authentication

The User Authentication page allows you to specify a username and password when user authentication is required by the gateway. If the SonicWALL VPN gateway does not support the saving (caching) of a username and password, the settings in this page are not active and the message The peer does not allow saving of username and password appears at the bottom of the page.

Remember my username and password - Enables the saving of your username and password for connecting to the SonicWALL VPN gateway.
