It is a bit tricky to find a download link. SonicWall NetExtender was last updated in 2016. But my results are fine even during these supposed drop outs!? That also rules out my home network (2nd hand UniFi AP 1st gen and MikroTik router) WorkaroundĪfter some googling and research I've discovered that the SonicWall Mobile Connect software is the replacement of the discontinued SonicWall NetExtender - the predecessor VPN client software from the people at SonicWall.
Practically speaking, this means for me re-entering my password multiple times a day and restarting a bunch of services which had lost connection to some internal hosts.įor many months I suspected it was my internet connection (Optus Cable - who btw have promised to credit me back a few weeks after some rather bad outages - still waiting!). To remedy this, I've been disconnecting and re-connecting from the VPN throughout the day whenever this issue occurs. the pings eventually do begin to return - but taking riddiculously long times (i.e. if I leave the ping running for a few more minutes. When these drop outs do occur, pinging any host within the private network times out. Unfortunately for me, I have been experiencing some rather annoying, intermittent drop outs when connecting in from home. SonicWall Mobile Connect is a VPN client for SonicWall VPN appliances. Replacing VPN software with outdated versions for fun and profit.
