Disable node on Sonicwall TZ180

I have a Sonicwall TZ180 and we can only allow 5 clients onto the net at a time. At the present the only reason the Firewall is used is for a VPN host for a remote office. We no longer have support or subscription. I would like to allow more clients net access

If you only have 5 node license then more users would not be able to connect to the internet, unless:
1. You purchase more licenses from sonicwall.
2. Put a device behind Sonicwall which does NAT and hence effectively hides the client IP addresses; it would appear to Sonicwall as one connection [however there might be limitations on the concurrent sessions], this solution might work but there is no guarantee.
You can try windows network wizard to setup internet connection sharing.

Thank you.

the second solution of "dpk_wal" will work perfectly
WHY ??
because in this case .. the firewall will see only one ip (WAN IP of the new router)
all other IPs will be internally natted to that ip

but you have to configure it properly

Ok ... I understand the router behind the Sonicwall how about the VPN?

To purcase a router i could just eliminate the Soniswall [VPN routers are cheap] as we have not renewed our license. Or am I wrong about the ability for the unit to function AV etc.. with out a valid license.
