The datasheet describes SonicWall NetExtender as a thin-client SSL VPN that provides seamless, secure Layer-3 access to internal network resources from anywhere, without manual client installation. Pushed from the Virtual Office portal to laptops, desktops, or mobile devices, it assigns users an IP address from a defined pool and enables access to TCP/IP applications, legacy services, and tools such as Outlook and Office 365, while avoiding common IPSec VPN issues with NAT and proxies. NetExtender can remain resident to speed future logins, supports granular access control through IP ranges and routes, can force all traffic through the tunnel so firewall security services apply, and works across Windows and Linux, with mobile access supported via SonicWall Mobile Connect.
