You should be able to set up a VPN tunnel between those two routers as long as they both agree on the protocol settings.

I dont have a lot of experience with VPN connections but looking at the Cisco E3000 manual (<a href="http://home.cisco.com/assets/presskit/userguides/e3000_ug.pdf" rel="ugc">http://home.cisco.com/assets/presskit/userguides/e3000_ug.pdf</a>) all that is mentioned is VPN Passthrough. The reason I mentioned that I have a mac on the other side of the e3000 is because I'm wondering if the connection would have to be between the Sonicwall and the Mac. If so then is this possible and how would I accomplish this<br />
<br />
Thanks?

Digitap has your best answer. I have used IPSecuritas to VPN to a Sonicwall from a MAC. It was a little trial &amp;&nbsp;error. You're using that (ipsecuritas) instead of Sonicwall's GVC client (i.e. VPN client). <br />

I guess this solution was correct but I couldn't use it. I was told by P and VP not to impliment VPN connections for individual users.

How do I vpn into a Sonicwall PRO 2040 from a Cisco E3000?

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.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
