Global VPN Client (GVC): Allow managed devices to securely access your corporate data center with a familiar remote VPN experience through SonicWall Global VPN client. It is a traditional client-based VPN that can be configured either as an IPsec or SSL end-point agent. When trying to install the GVC client onto your machine with an ARM-based processor, you may have received the error 'This installer is only meant for x86 machines'. NetExtender does support ARM-based processors, however, GVC currently does NOT support devices with ARM-based processors. The only alternative they offer for machines with ARM-based processors at the moment is using MobileConnect. You can download it in the Microsoft Store, or can find it by searching: SonicWall VPN Clients | NetExtender & Mobile Connect. It should be noted however that Mobile Connect support for Windows was formally removed in 2022, thus in some circumstances it may not be compatible with the OS. Formal ARM support for GVC has yet to be announced.
