We have a SonicWALL PRO 1260 which has a number of VPN clients using either Global VPN software or Sonicwall Hardware and 3rd party Draytek hardware, all of these work fine and we can ping all PC's on the network from the remote sites.<br />
However we have the need for a linux box to connect to the Sonicwall via VPN, we have been able to establish the connection and we can ping the 1260 no problem, but we are unable to ping anything past the sonic wall. &nbsp;Any thoughts anyone.<br />

VPN from Linux to a SonicWALL PRO 1260, unable to ping

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
