11/30/2022 0 Comments Sonicwall netextender not connectingI like Sonicwall fw's in general - functionality's decent, it's easy for me to have at my homes and also for IT to manage at work and at edge sites, GMS isn't terrible. Now on a new W10 laptop I rarely bother installing Netextender unless I specifically need its features. My initial review suggests it autoruns some processes at start-up and processes are running all the time, whether Im connected to the work VPN or not. Never, ever had that with Mobile Connect. Previously weve been able to work through our browser, but recent IT upgrades at work mean they want us to use SonicWall Netextender to VPN to the work network. I've (and also IT have on other people's machines) also had to reinstall Netextender on a few occasions on my laptops after possibly Windows Updates - I wasn't paying attention to the correlation, it just wouldn't work when I needed a connection but it does work when I reinstall it. Since Mobile Connect is working I've elected to defer it for now. I've two PC's on which Netextender (9 or 8) won't work at all now, and when I poked IT for an answer, they ummed and ahhd and have asked me to reset the machines, which I also think is the only thing left at this point. I personally find Netextender much less reliable than Mobile Connect in terms of it continuing to work on any given PC for a long time - and I know a fair few of my colleagues have had similar problems.Į.g. It's not a firmware thing necessarily, though it can be a factor - its also a Windows thing too.
