With NetExtender, remote users can securely run any application on the remote network. SonicWALL’s SSL VPN NetExtender feature is a transparent software application for Windows, Mac, and Linux users that enables remote users to securely connect to the remote network. This section provides an introduction to the SonicOS SSL VPN NetExtender feature. Thereafter, it can be accessed directly from the Start menu on Windows systems, from the Application folder or dock on MacOS systems, or by the path name or from the shortcut bar on Linux systems. The NetExtender standalone client is installed the first time you launch NetExtender.
