13 SonicWALL VPN
SonicWALL VPN provides secure, encrypted communication to business partners and remote
offices at a fraction of the cost of dedicated leased lines. Using the SonicWALL intuitive Web
Management Interface, you can quickly create a VPN Security Association to a remote site.
Whenever data is intended for the remote site, the SonicWALL automatically encrypts the data and
sends it over the Internet to the remote site, where it is decrypted and forwarded to the intended
destination.
SonicWALL VPN is based on the industry-standard IPSec VPN implementation, so it is interoperable
with other VPN products, such as Check Point FireWall-1 and Axent Raptor.
