This tutorial is for setting up L2TP / IPSec VPN server on SonicWALL TZ300 with Firmware version 6.5. This should work for majority of other SonicWALL firewalls as well.
Setup Vpn On Sonicwall For Mac Catalina
- SonicWall has the functionality to allow remote users to connect to the network behind the SonicWall using L2TP inbuilt client on MAC OS X using IPSEC VPN protocol. This article focuses on configuration of L2TP VPN on MAC OS X clients to connect to SonicWall UTM appliances. RESOLUTION: Configure WAN group VPN on the SonicWall appliance.
- Feb 02, 2011 The SonicWALL Global VPN Client is not supported on Macs. However, you can turn on either PPTP or L2TP (I recommend L2TP) in the SonicWALL itself. By using one of these protocols in the device, the Mac can connect using the built-in L2TP VPN client in the Mac OS. This is not the same IPSEC VPN tunnel that the Global VPN client uses.
- Switch to Classic Navigation Mode if not already in Classic Mode (hamburger icon in bottom left).
- Go to VPN > Settings and Enable WAN GroupVPN.
- Click Edit button next to WAN GroupVPN
- General: Set Shared Secret
- Advanced: Enable Accept Multiple Proposals for Clients.
- All other settings can be left as they are.
- Click Edit button next to WAN GroupVPN
- Go to VPN > L2TP Server
- Check 'Enable L2TP Server' and click Configure
- L2TP Server:
- Enter DNS Servers (normally your internal LAN DNS)
- L2TP Users:
- Select 'Use the Local L2TP IP pool' and enter IP Address range to be issued to VPN clients (this doesn't need to be within your internal LAN subnet).
- User group for L2TP users: select Trusted Users
- L2TP Server:
- Check 'Enable L2TP Server' and click Configure
- Go to Users > Local Users & Groups > Add User...
- Settings: enter Name and Password for your VPN user.
- Group: Everyone and Trusted Users.
- VPN Access: LAN Subnets
That should be it. You can now login from any L2TP / IPSec supporting client.
Update:
I noticed that Windows 10 VPN clients seemingly takes long time to connect to SonicWALL L2TP Server. It stays on 'Completing the connection' stage for 20-30 seconds.

In practice this doesn't seem to affect functionality though - VPN connection is actually established very quickly (2-3 seconds). So you can just ignore 'Completing the connection' status and start connecting to internal resources straight away.
