VPN Overview

The VPN section gives you fleet-wide visibility into IPSec and SSL-VPN tunnel status across all your managed firewalls.

What You Can See

From a single dashboard, you can monitor:

  • Tunnel status — which tunnels are up, down, or in a degraded state
  • Tunnel inventory — a complete list of all VPN tunnels across your fleet
  • Connection metrics — traffic and session data for active tunnels

VPN Types

SonicSaaS monitors two types of VPN connections:

IPSec (Site-to-Site)

IPSec tunnels connect two networks securely over the internet. These are typically used for:

  • Branch office connectivity
  • Datacenter interconnects
  • Partner network connections

See IPSec Tunnels for details.

SSL-VPN (Remote Access)

SSL-VPN portals provide remote access for individual users. These are typically used for:

  • Remote worker access
  • Vendor access portals
  • Emergency access

See SSL-VPN for details.

VPN Compliance

The VPN compliance page evaluates your tunnel configurations against security best practices — encryption standards, perfect forward secrecy, certificate expiration, and more.

See VPN Compliance for details.
