Verifying a User Connection from the Internet
1.
From a WAN connection outside of your corporate network, launch a Web browser
and enter the following:
https:// <WAN_IP_address_of_gateway_device>______________________
and enter the following:
https:// <WAN_IP_address_of_gateway_device>______________________
Note:
It will be easier for your remote users to access the SonicWALL SSL-VPN
appliance using an FQDN (fully qualified domain name) rather than an IP address. For
example, browsing to “http://www.sonicwall.com” is simpler than browsing to
“http://64.41.140.167”. It is therefore recommended, if you have not already done so, that
you create a DNS record to allow for FQDN access to your SonicWALL SSL-VPN
appliance. If you do not manage your own public DNS servers, contact your Internet
Service Provider for assistance.

For configurations where your ISP provides dynamic IP addressing rather than a static IP
address, refer to the steps in “Configuring Dynamic DNS” on page 51 to set up DDNS for
