How to configure VPN in SonicWall TZ 170?

[Mizugori]

Need to configure a SonicWall TZ 170 to allow people to connect to the office from home via the sonicwall global vpn software. Can anyone help me with this? The wizard is about as clear as mud, and I can only find step-by-step guides for newer models of SonicWalls...

Thanks!

Throw it away and buy an ASA 5505?

/me doesn't like SonicWalls.

Try here, it will probably be of more help with a sonicwall

general tab: select authentication method. I use IKE using preshared secret populate your shared secret password or phrase.

Proposals tab: generally leave these at default for most scenarios.

advanced tab: I leave at default except for check enable windows bios networking.

client tab: I set the 3 fields to Never, None, and Split Tunnels.

click ok and export the policy in rcf format setting a password on it if you wish.

Using the global vpn client import the rcf file into the client. do not use the wizard. it is not necessary if you have created and exported the policy in the TZ170. all you need to do is cancel out of the wizard and imort your premade policy into the vpn client.
