How do I connect my Iphone to SonicWall VPN?
When you set up your VPN, it sets up a firewall rule which enables the firewall to see VPN traffic as originating from one of your VPN connections.
If the firewall sees this traffic as VPN traffic it will apply the correct filtering rules (which should be set up with a SonicWALL VPN Policy), and so your traffic will be routed correctly.
As you configure your SonicWall Virtual Private Network, make sure that you add an exception for both IP addresses of your iPhone (from the VPN provider) and the IP addresses of the public internet servers on the SonicWall appliance. To do this, follow these steps: Select either the IP address of your VPN (either from a provider or directly from your Iphone), then select the IP address of your ISP. Select the Add button, then select OK. Now you will need to select the IP address of your Iphone, and select the Add button.
After you've added your exception, you'll need to click Apply in the upper-right hand corner. Now if you visit for example, your traffic will be able to connect. If you type in however, the website will not load.
You need to add the IP address of the SonicWALL appliance to the exclusion list. As you did the previous step, you should see the IP addresses of the VPN and the public internet servers on the SonicWALL appliance. Make sure you select them both.
After you have selected both the Ip address of your VPN provider and the SonicWALL appliance, you will see the two selections below. Ensure that your VPN connection is selected and that SonicWALL is selected, and click Apply.
The VPN server that has been selected for you should now be able to access the SonicWALL appliance without problems, so your traffic should now flow correctly. I get the error message "Incorrect user name and/or password" when I log in to the VPN server for my Iphone. I usually use the VPN at night. If I log in to the VPN server at night, I often get the following error message after I authenticate: Incorrect user name and/or password. The administrator has chosen the incorrect username or password.

How do I set up mobile connect SonicWall?
From how I understand it is just a phone and a dongle like this to link the webcam with the router that I have, and then download a driver from their website?
I have a dlink modem and a wifi router if that helps? It is for my parents who don't know how to use computers, so I have them connect to my home router, can they use the mobile connect with the same settings that the router would use? Thanks. I think that it is going to be more complicated than that. There is no USB or other connection of your mobile to the computer. Its going to be wireless. So I don't think that it will be too easy to setup.
The best thing you can do is send them a SonicWALL account and see how they use the computer as it is now. They can get on the SonicWALL site and register it. Once they have registered the router is setup to forward to the SonicWALL account. Then they just login to the web portal with the username and password that they use on the SonicWALL account. This will save you a lot of trouble when you get to talking with them about how to configure it.

Is SonicWall Mobile Connect a VPN?
The folks at SonicWall Mobile Connect have their hands full with their VPN client for smartphones and tablets.
They have to take into account every little detail of the operating systems, and they do a good job. There are several other VPN clients out there, and we decided to get a head start on some of them.
To try their product, we needed to go to Starbucks with our smartphone and our laptop. If you are one of those people who can't get WiFi at Starbucks, you might want to read this first. You can use that time to make sure you are going to be able to connect to a free WiFi network.
After trying to connect with our own IP addresses, SonicWall Mobile Connect was not an option on any device we tried. We then asked a couple of our friends who were also doing the same test, but none of them could connect.
We ended up in the parking lot with two laptops and three Android and iPhone 4G/4S/5 devices, and the results were the same. None of our devices had any luck with the SonicWall Mobile Connect site when we tried to connect, even after we verified that our phone number and security questions were correct. If you are having trouble connecting to the site, give it a try, but it isn't really designed for testing purposes.
If the SonicWall folks wanted us to test their application with WiFi provided by another company, or maybe even with one of their own routers, they should have been more upfront with their testing. They did not tell us that the site wasn't designed for testing, and if that is what they had in mind when they set it up, they should have known better than to try to pull off a test. As for not including their other VPN clients, that is the one feature I would look for when choosing a mobile VPN provider.
