Sonicwall VPN access on a MAC

On Windows clients you can use either GVC (for VPN) or NetExtender (for SSLVPN).

On Macs you can only use NetExtender hence you need to set up Mac users separately.

Details are found at Sonicwall's support page.

When connecting the Client you need to put in the following details:

Server: <ipaddress>:4433

Domain: LocalDomain or <DomainName>

Sonicwall TZ210 firmware upgrade

Download the firmware to the PC you will access the firewall from.

Login to the firewall and back up the settings just in case by clicking on the Export settings button:

To actually upgrade, first you need to upload the firmware (1), create a backup (2), then boot with the new firmware and the backed up settings(3):

The reboot takes about 4 minutes to complete and you MUST NOT interfere with the browser window in any way - ie by clicking on links etc. Once complete your browser should return to the firewall login page.
