How to Use Sonicwall Netextender VPN to Remote Desktop
In order to connect to internal Romanoff network resources such as desktops, printers, network drives, applications etc. from outside the office, you need an active VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection.
Before you start you will need three things:
- Access to your email
- Your VPN login
- Your computer name
1. Open the blue NX (Sonicwall Netextender) icon on your desktop. This is your VPN client.
2. Use your VPN login at the login screen (this is separate from your normal Windows login).
3. Once you click connect, you will be prompted for a one time passcode that was sent to your email from FWAuth@romanoffgroup.cc.. Take the code from your email and paste or type it into the box to verify your identity. When VPN is successfully connected, you will see a screen showing your connection info.
4. Now that your VPN is connected, you can use the Remote Desktop Connection icon to remote into your computer.
5. At the Remote Desktop Connection screen, specify your computer name and click connect.
6. Finally use your normal Windows login to connect to your desktop.
