Hello experts, <br />
<br />
I need to VPN with my Linux Mint laptop to SonicWall firewalls. <br />
<br />
I have tried a few VPN clients and I am not able to fire up the tunnels. I was successful in the past with Cisco firewalls. Not sure why not with Sonicwalls. <br />
<br />
Any recommendations you know of? <br />
<br />
Thank you

LInux Mint to VPN with Sonic Firewalls

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

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.
