SonicWALL SRA was actually the only other comparable purpose built dedicated VPN appliance at the time. Back then I did months of extensive research on all of options of dedicated VPN appliances and SSL VPN capabilities that ran on every major firewall on the market except for Palo Alto, because it was just too expensive. I've been using it for since early 2014 and it's only gotten better over time. Juniper sold off the entire unit responsible for it (management, sales, support portion of JTAC, devs, etc) and Pulse Secure came about. This product has a long history, previously as JunOS Pulse Gateway and Junipter Secure Access naming prior to that. Pulse Secure's Pulse Connect Secure is best of breed dedicated VPN appliance on the market. I always found NetExtender to be hot garbage.įair warning, I'm a bit fanboy'ish on my solution, so this will be a length post. I've had a little experience with NetExtender and I'm surprised you even attempt to use that on Win10. I am curious what other sysadmins are using and how well it works with Windows 10, because we need a solutions that just works without any hassle. But again, a lot of calls are coming in that users are unable to connect, or have port in use or other errors which required to reboot, reinstall mobile connect with DISM or required to recreate the whole windows user profile to work again.Īll in all our users aren't happy with the poorly working VPN clients and we aren't either because this costs us a lot of time. We rolled out a lot of new laptops with Mobile connect. Sonicwall says you'll have to use Sonicwall mobile connect. It crashes frequently, are unable to connect (needing a reboot) or even stop working completely which even a reinstall will not fix. Unfortunately this all changed with Windows 10.Ī lot of users are having issues with the Sonicwall Netextender.


Virtual office is working well and the Sonicwall netextender for VPN access never had any issues. Which has always worked great in the past.
