Manually specify GVC Download URL
- The SonicWALL Global VPN Client (GVC) allow users to connect securely to your network using the GroupVPN Policy on the port they are connecting to. GVC is required for a user to connect to the GroupVPN Policy. Depending on how you have set up your VPN policies, if a user does not have the latest GVC software installed, the user will be directed to a URL to download the latest GVC software.
|
The default URL http://help.mysonicwall.com/applications/vpnclient displays the
SonicWALL Global VPN Client download site. You can point to any URL where you provide the SonicWALL Global VPN Client application.

Manually specify SonicPoint-N image URL
- SonicOS Enhanced 5.0 and higher does not
contain an image of the SonicPoint firmware. If your SonicWALL appliance has Internet connectivity, it will automatically download the correct version of the SonicPoint image from the SonicWALL server when you connect a SonicPoint device. If your SonicWALL appliance does not
have Internet access, or has access only through a proxy server, you must manually specify a URL for the SonicPoint firmware. You do not need to include the http://
prefix, but you do need to include the filename at the end of the URL. The filename should have a .bin extension. Here are examples using an IP address and a domain name:
192.168.168.10/imagepath/sonicpoint.bin
software.sonicwall.com/applications/sonicpoint/sonicpoint.bin
