help SonicWall NetExtender FAQ

What information do I need to connect with SonicWall NetExtender?

You normally need the SonicWall SSL VPN server address, a username, password, and the correct domain supplied by the network administrator. Some organizations also require a one-time code or another multi-factor authentication step.

How is NetExtender different from SonicWall Global VPN Client?

NetExtender connects through SonicWall's SSL VPN service, while Global VPN Client uses IPsec. The correct client depends on how the organization's SonicWall firewall or SMA appliance has been configured.

Why does NetExtender connect but fail to open internal websites?

A successful login does not guarantee that the client received the correct internal routes or DNS servers. Administrators should check the user's SSL VPN access rules, client-route assignments, address pool, and internal DNS configuration.

Can an organization require multi-factor authentication with NetExtender?

Yes. A SonicWall deployment can combine NetExtender with authentication systems such as RADIUS and one-time-password services, depending on the firewall or SMA configuration.
