Testing Your SSL-VPN Connection
Now you have configured your SonicWALL UTM appliance and SonicWALL SSL-
VPN 4000 for secure SSL-VPN remote access.This section provides instructions to
verify your SSL-VPN connection using a remote client on the WAN.
Verifying a User Connection from the Internet
1. From a WAN connection outside of your corporate network, launch a Web browser
and enter the following:
https://
<
WAN_IP_address_of_gateway_device>
______________________
Note:
It will be easier for your remote users to access the SonicWALL SSL-VPN
appliance using an FQDN (fully qualified domain name) rather than an IP address. For
example, browsing to “http://www.sonicwall.com” is simpler than browsing to “http://
64.41.140.167”. It is therefore recommended, if you have not already done so, that you
create a DNS record to allow for FQDN access to your SonicWALL SSL-VPN appliance.
If you do not manage your own public DNS servers, contact your Internet Service
Provider for assistance.
For configurations where your ISP provides dynamic IP addressing rather than a static IP
address, refer to the steps in “Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 51 to set up DDNS for
your remote users.
