9/26/2019 Free Vpn For Mac Terminal
Hi guys, got an issue with Sonicwall's SSL VPN and it's security, I can connect fine to the SSL VPN, but can't remote desktop to my business PC with my mac. If I use my home PC to office PC, work fine. If I share my cell phones internet, the mac will connect to the SSL VPN and remote desktop. And also I did test this from a friends home, all working. So why would it not work from my home? What could make the Mac not want to connect to remote desktop?

Sonicwall SSL VPN trying to RDP from MAC to PC. The mac will connect to the SSL VPN and remote desktop. And also I did test this from a friends home, all working. Then try again. It's available for free in the Mac Store or whatever. Edited Jun 12, 2017 at 17:48 UTC.

If I disable the SSL VPN and just do RDP from home using the mac to the office, It works fine. So something is blocking between the SSL VPN and my RDP, but what!? And why just the MAC, I've been testing this for a couple of weeks and can't seem to fix this. So, your home PC connects fine, but your home Mac fails to connect, except when you connect that Mac via your cell phone, then the Mac connects fine. Hypothetically, if your home PC works, then it's not your network, but if your Mac connects via the cell, then it's not the Mac, it's the network. So, technically speaking, at first read this makes absolutely no sense.
A few things come to mind to inves-tigger-ate (been reading too many children's books): 1) The description makes me think your Mac isn't really on the same network as your PC. Perhaps it's on the local cable-provider's wifi, or that of a neighbor, instead of your own actual home network? 2) Perhaps your Mac is running some kind of software firewall, and it's on a stricter setting for the home network than for everything else? If it was a Windows 7 PC, I'd say make sure the network setting is set to Home or Work instead of Public.
3) Saying you 'can't' connect doesn't tell us anything. When you say it doesn't work, we need to know what does happen when you try to connect.
Does it hang? Does it give you an error? Does your Mac catch fire or explode? 4) What SonicWALL device are you connecting to? What firmware does it run? What version of NetExtender are you using to connect? Have you tried a different netextender version?
Is your Mac OS up to date? 5) Have you tried looking at the SonicWALL's logs while you're trying to connect from the Mac? Perhaps there will be something in the logs to indicate why it's failing. Agree, sounds like you might have the network, at home and at work 2. When you RDP, do you used the name or it IP? Have you tried to telnet to see if the ports are open?

Lock it down AGHR. Have you tried a different computer to connect from your home, other than your mac? When you use the SSL-VPN, how do you actually connect? Via netextender or via the website?

The pc will work. Your mac will have issues because it is a duplicate ip.Shane, I'm aware that the PC version of NetExtender is able to overcome the same subnet conflict by forcing traffic destined for that subnet over the tunnel. Are you saying the Mac version fails to do this? If so, this would certainly explain the problem.
