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:
- Create an SSL VPN archive.
- Close all applications on the device to prevent having to reboot after install.
- In the archive, open SmoothWall-SSL-OpenVPN-client.exe and follow the install steps:
- Select the Installer Language and select OK.
- On the Welcome screen, select Next to start the installation.
- Select whether All users of the device or only the Current user can use the SSL VPN client.
- 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.
- Accept the default installation folder or select Browse to select a different folder.
- Ensure the Smoothwall SSL VPN Client and TAP-Device checkboxes are selected, then select Install.
- When prompted, select to update the TAP adapters.
- Select Finish.
Tip
Create a shortcut in the Start menu’s Startup folder so the SSL VPN client is available when the user signs in to their device.
