SonicWall
This guide will show you how to connect your SonicWall device to the GoodAccess Gateway via a site-to-site connection using the IPSec protocol.
Step 1 - Creating a new branch connection
Log in to the GoodAccess Control Panel, and go to Network > Clouds & Branches.
Click + Add new, enter the Branch name and subnet, and select Gateway.
Choose IPSec Protocol, fill out the Settings configuration form, and click Save.
You may return to the configuration via the Edit button of your Branch at any time.
Example of configuration:
Cloud/Branch subnet - Subnet of your local network
Shared Secret - Create a new strong password
Public IP - IP of your SonicWall
IKE Lifetime (Phase 1) - 8 hours (28800 seconds)
Tunnel Lifetime (Phase 2) - 1 hour (3600 seconds)
Dead Peer Detection Delay - 30 seconds
Encryption (Phase 1) - aes256
Encryption (Phase 2) - aes256
Integrity (Phase 1) - sha256
Integrity (Phase 2) - sha256
Diffie-Hellman Groups (Phase 1) - 14 - modp2048
Diffie-Hellman Groups (Phase 2) - 14 - modp2048
Step 2 - Creating new address objects
Log in to your SonicWall device, and go to Object > Match Objects > Addresses > Address Objects. Click + Add.
You have to create two objects - gateway and subnet.
Gateway
Name - Give the object a name
Zone Assignment - VPN
Type - Host
IP Address - IP of your GoodAccess Gateway
Click Save.
Subnet
Name - Give the object a name
Zone Assignment - VPN
Type - Network
Network - Subnet of your GoodAccess Gateway
Netmask / Prefix Length - Subnet Mask of your GoodAccess Gateway
Click Save.
Step 3 - Creating a new site-to-site connection
Go to Network > IPSec VPN > Rules and Settings > Policies > IPv4, and click + Add.
General

Peer IKE ID - IPv4 Address + IP of your GoodAccess Gateway
Network
Local Networks
Choose local network from list - Select local network you want to access with GoodAccess
Remote Networks
Choose destination network from list - Select your Subnet address object
Proposals
Must match configuration from GoodAccess (Step 1).
IKE (Phase 1) Proposal
Exchange - IKEv2 Mode

Authentication - SHA256
Life Time (seconds) - IKE Lifetime (Phase 1)
IPSec (Phase 2) Proposal
Protocol - ESP
Encryption - AES-256
Authentication - SHA256
Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy
DH Group - Group 14
Life Time (seconds) - Tunnel Lifetime (Phase 2)
Advanced
Enable Keep Alive
Click Save.
You have now successfully connected your device to GoodAccess.
You may check the status of the connection in:
GoodAccess - Control Panel > Clouds & Branches > Edit button > Test connection
SonicWall - Network > IPSec VPN > Rules & Settings > Active Tunnels
Step 4 - Creating new access rules
