- Tested drivers: 21.50.1.1 and 21.70.0. I am posting this question here to see if anyone out there is experiencing the same issue as ours and if possible, share their solutions. As a workaround, we setup Windows VPN connection profiles via L2TP and this been working fine so far. I prefer to use Sonicwall VPN clients however.
- Just get sure you get the really latest version of NetExtender, which is not in the NetExtender section, the SMA 100 series section is the best spot for this, just check the latest firmware versions and you'll find the latest NetExtender as well.
