Connecting to a SonicWall VPN from a Linux machine

Solution 1:

There is no special client for SonicWall. Use Openswan on your linux box, configure a tunnel between your box and sonicwall, with NAT traversal. Here are few docs:

Solution 2:

The download link for the Linux client from SonicWall is here.

Go to that page, the follow the directions to log in to the Beta site as a guest (username is "demo", password is "password" - as provided on the page), then click the large NetExtender button, which will initiate a download of the latest .tgz file.

Extract it and run ./install as root (using sudo), then run the GUI. The installer has instructions to help you all along the way.
