Set to this order: MSCHAPv2, CHAP, MSCHAP, PAP

Authentication Method: IKE using 3rd Party Certificates.

I hope it helps: 1) VPN > Settings > VPN Policy > WAN GroupVPN settings General tab The following is on a SonicWall NSA-series unit with SonicOS 5.8.x. However, here are the settings I used in the hopes that admins who are new to setting up VPNs use the following as a template to stop using IKEv1 PSK, and properly configure a solid and secure VPN for their organization. I'm not an advocate of people blindly configuring settings that they don't understand. Please note that at no point is the use of the SonicWall's Firewall Unique Identifier needed. (IKEv1 with PSK auth also works, but I implore you to not configure the VPN this way - it's not secure.). Windows 8 should also be OK, but I cannot confirm.

That said, I have been successful setting up a L2TP VPN configuration that uses certificate authentication (not PSK) and IKEv2, and I can verify that it works for both native Mac OS X 10.10 and native Windows 7 VPN clients. In particular, look for IKE mismatches errors. You're better off looking at the SonicWall "VPN xxxx" logs to figure out what is preventing the client from being able to connect. UTM-side: While the Mac OS X racoon logs are very thorough, they can be hard to interpret and figure out what specific changes to make on the UTM or within the client.client-side: In the Mac OS X VPN's "Advanced" settings, enable "Use verbose logging" to get (much) more detailed output in the Console from the racoon client than you get by default.Proper configuration is necessary on the UTM-side, but the UTM admin should have confirmed Mac OS X compatibility before provisioning a VPN account to you (IMHO).įor troubleshooting, I recommend two things:

Third-party VPN clients are nice and full-featured, but certainly not required.

This thread comes up on a lot of Google searches for Mac OS X compatibility with SonicWall VPNs, so even though the thread is old, I just wanted to post that YES, Mac OS X's native VPN client works fine with SonicWall's L2TP VPN. I am trying to connect to a broken (non-standard) firewall, with a broken Mac OS X client.

It seems an IPSec VPN now requires a Firewall Unique Identifier.

I have two questions: (1) does Mac OS X VPN work in real life? (2) Are there any trustworthy (non-Apple) tools to test and diagnose the connection problem (Wireshark is a cannon and I have to interpret the results)?Īnd a third question (off topic): what is so broken in Cupertino such that so much broken software gets past their QA department? I pay good money for the software to run their hardware, and this is an absolute joke.ĮDIT (, 6:00 PM): The network guy sent me "VPN Configuration Guide" (Equinox document SonicOS_Standard-6-EN). This is utter garbage, as a Wireshark trace shows the Protected Mode negotiation, and then the fallback to Quick Mode:

The connection attempt subsequently fails: The Mac Networking applet claims the remote server is not responding.

My MacBook Pro is OS X 10.8, 圆4, fully patched.

I'm not sure of the SonicWall's hardware or software level. The company has a SonicWall firewall/concentrator and I'm working on a Mac. I'm trying to get VPN access up and running.
