VeriSign digital certificates for VPN-enabled SonicWALL Internet
security appliances and SonicWALL VPN Client software. This optional

deployment and reduces administration costs by easily managing all
VPN connections associated with a company's network.
SonicWALL VPN is easy to deploy because it's based on the IPSec standard for VPN, so
it's compatible with other IPSec compliant VPN products.
Large, distributed enterprises and service providers can centrally manage
and monitor thousands of SonicWALL VPN deployments using SonicWALL GMS.

can then view both local and remote network resources in the same Microsoft Windows Network Neighborhood.

dial-up or broadband Internet users without SonicWALL Internet security appliances to securely access network
resources. The SonicWALL VPN Client software supports Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and
