SonicWALL Global VPN Client is an add-on for the SonicWALL firewall that allows users to configure their own virtual private network. That makes it easy for them to block out their IP address and hide their browsing activities from strangers, which is great news for anyone who is concerned about Internet privacy in today's increasingly opaque online climate.

By using the VPN plug-in, you can be sure that all network data coming into your PC and leaving its endpoint will be encrypted using industry-standard technologies. The app uses both AES and 3DES encryption together, so you can be sure that your data is much safer run through SonicWALL than it might otherwise be on bare metal.

Whenever the app detects a potential breach, it files an immediate log entry and sends out an alert. This means that you'll always be notified whenever there's an security threat. In most cases, SonicWALL reports this so quickly that the threats themselves don't have much time to fester the way that they might if you were to only be altered in a daily digest or other similar document.

Many users are probably going to want to avoid having to go through a complex configuration workflow in order to get an app like this working. Fortunately, they won't have to because everything is tied directly to a simple wizard.
