- Client Policy Provisioning. SonicWALL's innovative technology enables the Global VPN Client to establish a connection after automatically downloading the VPN configuration data from the SonicWALL VPN gateway using only the IP address or domain name of the SonicWALL VPN gateway. This removes the burden from the remote user of setting up often complex VPN connections.

- Group Policy Management. The Global VPN Client access can be configured and restricted to specific networks and sub-networks, using internal database or RADIUS groups (Requires SonicOS 2.0e for the SonicWALL VPN gateway).

- NT Domain Logon Script Support. The Global VPN Client automatically launches Login Script after the VPN tunnel is established as part of the authentication process. This allows users to have access to mapped network drives.

- VPN Session Reliability. The Global VPN Client supports multiple redundant SonicWALL VPN gateways to ensure mission-critical network access in the event the primary gateway fails.

- Hub-and-Spoke VPN Access. The Global VPN Client allows configuration of a different subnet for all remote users than the subnet of the LAN, simplifying the hub-and-spoke VPN access. When a remote user successfully authenticates with the central site, the client system receives a virtual IP address, granting the remote user access to other trusted VPN sites.

- Default VPN Connections File. The Global VPN Client allows the administrator to configure and distribute the corporate VPN connections file with the Global VPN Client software, streamlining VPN client deployment.
