Review on SonicWall TZ600 TotalSecure (01-SSC-0219) with 1-Year Subscription by Trey Angus

I installed it to access a small business's private VPN, Tier C, and everyone was very disappointed with the speed of the SSL VPN. With a 1 Gbit/s uplink/downlink, the SSL VPN is barely 5 Mbit/s! We tried all available suggestions, such as For example, reducing the MTU size to 1428, increasing the upstream/download bandwidth to 1000000 and installing the latest experimental firmware did not see any significant improvement in terms of speed. By the way, as for the firmware, they only give 90 days, and then you yourself or you will have to pay again! This could be a good firewall, but if you need a VPN connection, look elsewhere. I know that the SSL VPN protocol uses TCP, which is worst for this application, but I was expecting SonicWall to have special hardware to increase the speed. Too bad I didn't advise the company to purchase another 25 SSL VPN licenses. On the other hand, setup is easy via web admin and most things are well documented by SonicWall. The firewall started 10 minutes after installing the cable. It has a small footprint, perfect for a small office or rackless closet. Just make sure the area is adequately ventilated as it does get a bit warm. Revain's price is a lot cheaper than what the company paid a well-known authorized reseller, so you'll at least save some money there. Thank you for reading.
