SonicWall Mobile Connect

This is 10 steps backwards in VPN access. As a long time admin of GVC and NetExtender connections, I am appalled at the complete failure of this application to work and the lack of addressing the issues on the part of Dell/SonicWALL. Another fail on Windows 10.

Some people don't realize that by downloading this, you just enable this as an option on the VPN screen. When you create a new connection, you have a new connection type of SonicWALL Mobile Connect. This isn't really an app as it is a feature that is being added.

It finally works but... Frustrated that configuring the VPN requires an Admin to run a series of PowerShell script on every single client PC. Seriously? We have 100 users that had been using NetExtender for years with no issues. So now on 100 Windows 10 Pro laptops the users have to bring them into the IT office, we log on as an Admin, open PowerShell and run 4 commands to configure a single VPN connection. THEN give the user the credential configuration thy will have to use for their initial connection? We used to give the users a link to NetExtender along with a screen shot of the correct settings. They did the rest. Now IT has to touch every single remote PC or laptop. Enter the mouth of madness... Nice Work Dell/SonicWALL. Way to keep with the times.

I am updating this to 1 star after having got access to a clients network with the GlobalVPN client. This app is at least 85% slower than the other client, made by the same company. This really needs fixed. Even NetExtender, now deprecated, runs circles around this app.

If you don't use the default 443 port for SSLVPN you have to use PowerShell to build your VPN profile! This is unacceptable in this day and age!!

Sometimes I can stay connected for a couple hours. Sometimes my connection may last 15 seconds at most. Sometimes Windows notices that the connection drops, sometimes it doesn't, and I have to disconnect/reconnect. It's just infuriatingly inconsistent. Didn't have this difficulty in Win8.1 with the built-in SonicWALL driver...

Update: Still not working after a month on Win 10. Works fine on 8.1. Rating changed from 4 to 2. -- From 4/20/16 - This stopped working today after the latest Win 10 update. When trying to connect the error shows up "The specified port is already open". This happens before the login page come up. I tried reinstall the app and still getting the same result. Thanks!
