## Review summary

Overall, SonicWall Mobile Connect is a long-running VPN client that can work and access LAN resources when configured, and updates can fix issues. However, many reviews report reliability problems after iOS updates (notably iOS 16.x/16.1), with frequent disconnects during MFA and backgrounding. Configuration UI issues and slow updates compound user frustration. Improvements in iOS compatibility, MFA handling, in-app log visibility, and faster fixes would substantially improve the experience.

### Pros

- The app can establish a VPN connection and grant access to LAN resources when configured properly.
- It has been a reliable VPN client for years prior to the recent update cycle.
- Some updates have fixed connection problems, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement.
- The app displays monitoring details in-app when connected (monitor tab).

### Cons

- Major compatibility issues with iOS 16.x / iPadOS 16 that cause the app to stop connecting or crash after updates.
- Frequent disconnects and unreliable connectivity, especially when approving MFA or backgrounding the app.
- MFA/authenticator integration sometimes fails or disrupts the VPN connection.
- Setup and domain selection problems during configuration (e.g., cannot scroll or select a domain).
- Long wait times for updates/fixes and slow response to iOS compatibility problems.
