Terribly Slow

Introduces hundreds of miliseconds of latency vs alternative VPN connection product, making it almost useless. In this case when used on Mac OS 10.11.3 .

With SonicWall Mobile Connect:

64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1115.139 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=714.865 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1039.439 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1273.709 ms

With competing VPN client product:

64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1:: icmp_seq=37 ttl=64 time=305.875 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1:: icmp_seq=38 ttl=64 time=305.697 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1:: icmp_seq=39 ttl=64 time=307.430 ms
64 bytes from X.Y.Z.1:: icmp_seq=40 ttl=64 time=307.513 ms

It’s fascinating how bad SonicWall client software stays year after year for the Mac environment.
