Firewall Toolbox now offers three licensing editions to better meet different customer requirements and budgets:
The new licensing structure provides a more affordable entry point while maintaining the full functionality of the existing Professional Edition.
Existing Professional licenses remain fully valid and unaffected by these changes.
For details on features and pricing, please visit our Editions page.
The new User Permissions and Group Memberships report provides a comprehensive overview of user accounts, their group memberships, and assigned access rights.
The report identifies user and group permissions related to SSL VPN and IPsec VPN access, where available in the firewall configuration. It distinguishes between directly assigned and group-inherited permissions, helping administrators understand how users obtain VPN access rights.
The report evaluates configured access permissions, not active VPN sessions or historical VPN usage.
Gain visibility into user permissions, inherited privileges, and configured VPN access rights. Use the report to identify unnecessary privileges, review access assignments, and assess compliance with the principle of least privilege.
Make user access reviews a standard part of your SonicWall security audits with Firewall Toolbox.

Firewall Toolbox now includes new reporting and API management capabilities for TCP connection timeout settings in SonicWall access rules.
TCP connection timeouts determine how long inactive TCP connections remain in the firewall's connection table. Incorrectly configured timeout values can lead to unnecessary resource consumption or premature connection termination, potentially affecting firewall performance and application stability.
The new report identifies firewall access rules with TCP connection timeout values that differ from the default setting.
Key Features:
In addition to reporting, Firewall Toolbox Professional allows administrators to reset modified TCP connection timeout settings directly through the SonicWall API.
Key Features:
Unnecessarily long TCP timeouts may consume connection table resources, while excessively short values can disrupt applications that maintain idle connections.
With the new reporting and API capabilities, administrators can identify deviations, review their operational impact, and apply consistent timeout settings where appropriate.
Audit your TCP connection timeout settings with Firewall Toolbox and use the Professional Edition to remediate unnecessary deviations directly through the SonicWall API.
We are pleased to announce the release of Firewall Toolbox Version 3.0, a major milestone in the continued development of our SonicWall auditing, analysis, and documentation solution.
Version 3 introduces multilingual support, improvements to reporting and documentation, and various enhancements to usability and performance.
One of the most significant improvements in Version 3 is the introduction of multilingual support.
Firewall Toolbox now supports five languages:
This makes Firewall Toolbox more accessible to international administrators, IT service providers, and security auditors.
Version 3 includes enhancements to the analysis and reporting capabilities of Firewall Toolbox, helping administrators review SonicWall configurations more efficiently.
Key Benefits:
In addition to multilingual support, Version 3 includes various improvements to the user experience, internal processing, and overall application stability.
These enhancements help streamline daily auditing tasks and make Firewall Toolbox easier to use in different operational environments.
Firewall Toolbox continues to process firewall configuration data locally, without requiring configuration files to be uploaded to a cloud-based analysis service.
Existing TSR and EXP configuration files can be analyzed without establishing a live connection to the firewall.
This makes Firewall Toolbox particularly useful for external security audits, IT service providers, offline assessments, and firewall documentation.
Version 3.0 provides the foundation for further improvements and additional reporting and management capabilities.
With ongoing development, Firewall Toolbox continues to help SonicWall administrators identify configuration risks, improve security transparency, and simplify documentation.
Discover Firewall Toolbox Version 3 and take advantage of multilingual, locally processed SonicWall security audits and reporting.
Firewall Toolbox Version 2.0 marked a major step forward in the development of our SonicWall auditing and management solution.
While earlier versions focused primarily on analyzing firewall configurations and generating security reports, Version 2 introduced the ability to make configuration changes directly on SonicWall firewalls through the SonicOS API.
This transformed Firewall Toolbox from a reporting and auditing tool into a solution that also supports active firewall configuration management.
The most significant enhancement in Version 2 is the introduction of API-based configuration management.
Administrators can now use Firewall Toolbox to identify configuration issues and perform selected corrective actions directly on the firewall.
Key Features:
These capabilities help administrators move directly from identifying configuration issues to implementing corrective actions, without having to modify every rule or policy individually.
Version 2 also introduced numerous additional reports, further extending the auditing and documentation capabilities of Firewall Toolbox.
Reporting Highlights:
The expanded reporting capabilities provide greater visibility into complex firewall configurations and help identify potential security risks, unnecessary rules, and opportunities for configuration optimization.
By combining detailed configuration analysis with API-based management functions, Version 2 significantly improves the efficiency of firewall maintenance.
Administrators can identify potentially problematic configurations, review the findings, and perform selected corrective actions directly from Firewall Toolbox.
This is particularly valuable for IT service providers, security consultants, and administrators managing complex SonicWall environments.
With Version 2.0, Firewall Toolbox evolved into a comprehensive solution for SonicWall configuration auditing, documentation, and selected firewall management operations.
Analyze your SonicWall configurations, identify security and configuration issues, and simplify corrective actions with Firewall Toolbox.
