What does the subscription do for you? Is it still an effective and functional firewall without the subscription?

I ordered the subscription and the only real benefit is the hardware replacement if unit stops working (2 year). You can order this anytime after you purchase and register your product as long as it's not end of life. I would not purchase a subscription if I ordered another.

subscription will give you tech support as well as you may subscribe to antivirus and such through the sonicwall. It will function just fine with out a service subscription as long as you have the appropriate licenses initially. You will have register and create a mysonicwall account for it to function properly. Keep in mind that there is no tech support included at all without subscription.

Of course it is. We didn't get the subscription and it still serves very well.

You receive reviews of the firewalls performance and updates to the firmware are automatically uploaded.

Yes. It still works when the subscription runs out. The subscription is for updated virus, spam and other intrusion methods that come out. If your serious about security you need to keep this thing updated.

No. No subscription is required, but the Android and Apple Apps are not free. The Android app is $19.99. There is an optional subscription based service that apparently simplifies setting the apps up to communicate with the device from outside your LAN. It is not required if you know how to configure your router to handle port forwarding.

I am going to say yes even though I have no used it as a server. I am using it for access and it works great. I have no problems connecting to multiple VPN clients and secure connections.....and it is very fast and dependable --- rarely drops connections.

Mr. Stenberg ~ I'm not equipped to explain techie things, but that's why I've got my (2) Trendnet boxes. The first one was strictly to use my Roku (purchased a few yrs. ago) then I noticed I was getting interruptions a lot, so bought the new, TRW-736 to boost it. Found out later, I can get all I need from my main modem . however, I'm not removing ANYthing!! I've got the 3 on my table, behind my monitor, and that's where they'll stay! I'd hate to upset the apple cart. I wish i could help you more, but I believe going online to one of the help sites might be your better bet in getting assistance. I apologize for being so naive in this area. JMA

Yes. I personally haven't used the feature, but there is a VPN section in the router's settings. It has simple instructions to get your VPN working too.

Hi. I'm not sure of the specifics (30 mins/ 10 times per day etc), but to access the camera in anything but a rudimentary way, and without an annoying pop-up each time you access it, you need to subscribe (which is less than $30 per year).

Lots of features including all of the encryption methods (WPA, WPA2, WEP), RADIUS connectivity, NTP, even a graph which tracks traffic. It has VLAN tagging which works fairly well, and a management VLAN which handles the web interface, ntp and RADIUS traffic. I currently have mine setup with three VLANs connected to a pfsense firewall. One VLAN is bridged to my LAN and associated to my primary SSID which uses WPA2-RADIUS. This authenticates against FreeRADIUS on the pfsense box. The second VLAN is associated to a different SSID, is open and is a separate subnet and firewalled off from my LAN. This is for guests.

Without the subscription you can't use the bridge since the subscription give you access remotely...

I would personally stay away from SonicWall. This is the worst decision I made. The setup is cumbersome and Dell has ZERO support and all they will do is bombard you with emails to sign up for subscriptions. It is basically collecting dust. I switched to Cisco which has worked out fantastic.

Yes, the SBG6782-AC does have a Firewall built in to it. It allows settings of "Low, Medium, High, and Off" to suit your needs.

well i have to agree with the rest "i just don't use it." since the advent of Roboform - Everywhere for i.e. Maxthon, and Last Pass for Firefox carrying around a flashdrive safe is more problematic than solution oriented. I also saw a new one on portables.com called password gorilla (untested as of this response). so there you have it. 20 bucks a year and unlimited access to all your sign-ins is verrrryy hard to beat.

No, there is no subscription required. They do periodic software updates, but they are free.

I signed up on their website, but did not pay for any of their services. The basic email and message alerts were free but if you wanted more than that then you had to pay for a monthly service plan. The free service works great for me.

If you're looking to use it with the official Nexia system, it does require a subscription. With Vera or HomeSeer, it does not.

I was unable to access any of the data remotely on the device itself. I was, however, able to install it directly on my server and remote in with RDP and VNC protocols And still use the software. What the company calls their "tech support" was a joke, and said that you cannot have an active network security in place e.g. IDS/IPS or a firewall. Although I think their IT was simply trying to pass the issue over as my problem, I believe it was just faulty equipment or operating system both times. You should never have to insecure your network, especially when client information is critical. I would highly recommend Lanthem's line, as it simply works, is easy to configure, and can even be exported to booking software like QuickBooks. It is a little more pricy, but well worth the quality. Hope this helps.

Got mine to work thru our corp firewall by using the direct connect function, specifying my IP address (as given to me by my ISP) & using port 8111 (Netmeeting). Good luck!
