Virtual IP Adapter box and click Next.
Step 11 The Configuration Summary page details the settings that will be pushed to the SonicWALL

Connecting the Global VPN Clients
Remote SonicWALL Global VPN Clients install the Global VPN Client software. Once the
application is installed, they use a connection wizard to setup their VPN connection. To
configure the VPN connection, the client must have the following information:
• A public IP address (or domain name) of the WAN port for your SonicWALL
• The shared secret if you selected a custom preshared secret in the VPN Wizard.
• The authentication username and password.
