You can setup a VPN connection between your Sonicwall TZ series device and your iOS devices using L2TP. However, it is a lot easier to setup and use the Sonicwall Mobile Connect if you have SSL VPN license(s) on your Sonicwall device.

In terms of security, L2TP and SSL are pretty much the same as they both can use AES-256 encryption. If you insisted on using L2TP for you iOS devices, go to sonicwall support page and search the following articles in their knowledge base. UTM: Configuring L2TP Server on SonicOS Enhanced (SW5378) L2tp: Configuring iPod/iPad/iPhone L2TP Client to connect to SonicWALL UTM appliances (SW6579) Also, when connecting L2TP clients to your Sonicwall L2TP server, make sure both location does not have the same IP subnet. For example, if your Sonicwall is sitting in your office which has a local subnet of 192.168.1.0 and your iOS devise is sitting at home connecting to your home wifi network with a subnet of 192.168.1.0. Connection will fail since your phone will not know which traffic goes where. This is one of the reason why a SSLVPN (Sonicwall Mobile Connect App) is more suitable for mobile use.

If your Mac was set to maximum volume level, the boot chime will be played at maximum volume. To disable the startup sound, just press the “Mute” button on your keyboard (that’s the F10 key on a MacBook) before shutting down or restarting your Mac. If your Mac was muted, the startup chime will be silenced. If you ever have to restart your Mac for some reason but you don’t want it making any noise, just do this. If you don’t have a Mute key on your keyboard, you can always just set the volume slider to the lowest level it will go.

In response to Dk_guru: I need to be able to log into the server, as I can through Remote Desktop, but I need to hide the Remote Desktop for the server behind the SonicWall firewall. I don't know if that requires a full VPN or simply an encrypted connection. Please let me know what information you might need better answer this question for you. In response to nappy_d: Thank you. I installed and setup the IPSecuritas connection to the firewall successfully.

However, I am not sure what that has done for me. I still need to be able to login to the server remotely, without exposing the Remote Desktop to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Any idea what the IPSecuritas connection has done for me? Also, how can I now login to the server remotely? Thank you to both of you for your assistance.
