    Hey TKWITS,


    that sounds interesting. Could you explain this a little further. I was testing SSL VPN and what I dont like about it that our users could install and use it on their private Devices, what I want to avoid. With GVC I am using a password secured .rfc file which only I import to the GVC on the users profile and company laptop-

    @Chojin

    I am talking about using a public CA SSL certificate in place of the built-in SSL cert for SSLVPN and in place of the pre-shared key for GVPN. These types of configurations are required when going for PCI, or other, compliance.

    SSLVPN: requires maintaining the certificate on the Sonicwall device only; client-side does not require maintenance

    GVPN: requires maintaining the certificate on the Sonicwall device and the client-side device. I'm sure there are ways to automate certificate maintenance of the client-side devices, but I have not spent much time on it.

    As far as restricting what device SSLVPN clients are installed on... that is another topic.

  • Hi!

    Thank you guys for the question and the answers! Helpful!

    I would like to add another question on the GlobalVPN Client versus SSL VPN. Does either of these services provide 2FA Authentication? I found the sonicwall built-in SSL VPN 2FA. How about GVPN?

    Thank you in advance!!

    GVPN requires a third party 2FA solution. Web searches are your friend.
