Install the Smoothwall SSL VPN client

If your Smoothwall On-Premise Appliance is on Maiden, or on Leeds and your devices use macOS, use a VPN client such as OpenVPN Connect. For the connection profile, use the SSL VPN archive.

If your Smoothwall On-Premise Appliance is on Leeds and your devices don’t use macOS:

1. Create an SSL VPN archive.
2. Close all applications on the device to prevent having to reboot after install.
3. In the archive, open SmoothWall-SSL-OpenVPN-client.exe and follow the install steps:
   1. Select the Installer Language and select OK.
   2. On the Welcome screen, select Next to start the installation.
   3. Select whether All users of the device or only the Current user can use the SSL VPN client.
   4. Choose whether to save user credentials:
      • Select Yes to save user credentials.
      • Select No to have the user enter their username and password every time they open the VPN.
   5. Accept the default installation folder or select Browse to select a different folder.
   6. Ensure the Smoothwall SSL VPN Client and TAP-Device checkboxes are selected, then select Install.
   7. When prompted, select to update the TAP adapters.
   8. Select Finish.
