Browser Requirements

•Using the NetExtender SSL VPN client – The SonicWALL SSL VPN network extension client, NetExtender, is available through the SSL VPN Virtual Office portal via an ActiveX control or through stand-alone applications for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Windows Mobile, and Android smartphone platforms. To connect using the SSL VPN client, log into the portal, download the installer application and then launch the NetExtender connector to establish the SSL VPN tunnel. The NetExtender Android client has a different installation process, described in this guide. Once you have set up the SSL VPN tunnel, you can access network resources as if you were on the local network.

The NetExtender standalone applications are automatically installed on a client system the first time you click on the NetExtender link in the Virtual Office portal. The standalone client can be launched directly from users’ computers without requiring them to log in to the SSL VPN portal first.

For SSL VPN to work as described in this guide, the SonicWALL SSL-VPN security appliance must be installed and configured according to the directions provided in the SonicWALL SSL- VPN Getting Started Guide for your model.
