SonicWall "Mobile Connect" app missing from the Windows Store?

Anyone know whats up with the app missing from the Windows store?
Looks like it was pulled?
It was available up to the end of last week.

Really preferred this over NetExtender because of the tie into Windows VPN settings.

SonicWall Partners,

On August 15, 2022 SonicWall officially ended support for Mobile Connect on the Windows operating system; refer to the official SonicWall Lifecycle Page for more information. Although support was previously discontinued, Mobile Connect has remained available for download via the Microsoft Store due to its unique capability as SonicWall’s sole VPN client software supporting ARM processors.

With the release of NetExtender version 10.3.0, which includes ARM processor support, SonicWall will discontinue Mobile Connect availability on the Microsoft Store effective February 24, 2025. While existing installations of Mobile Connect on Windows will continue to function, customers are strongly encouraged to transition to NetExtender to ensure ongoing compatibility and access to the latest support and updates.

Note: This notification does not affect Mobile Connect on iOS, MacOS, Android & ChromeOS; there are no plans to end support for these operating systems.

See below for the timeline leading up to the removal from the Microsoft Store:

Feb 24th was the date listed as removal from Microsoft Store.

Is there a downloadable product outside of the windows store that still allows the installation of SonicWall mobile connect to create the option for SonicWall in the VPN providers drop down of the Windows VPN wizard?? I have been using this for my clients flawlessly for several years now and any other solution seems complex for the end-user.

Ugh, I was hopping that wasn’t the case…

I guess I have some scripting and documentation updates to do.

WTF, isn’t Mobile Connect the ‘new’ one? I thought NetExtender was long dead. Mobile connect is the only one that really integrates with windows VPN profiles, etc, right?

The pre-logon option in NetExtender is cool, but I agree the integration was far better with the Mobile connect product.

The kicker is that none of them are really the “new” one. Theyve all practically been abandonware for years, hobbling along on nothing but the most critical of security patches

And they’re killing off Global VPN client (GVC) too. :melting_face:

NetExtender has been getting regular updates and still is. Mobile Connect was a terrible product and had tons of flaws. It’s great that they killed it.

Global VPN is also on its way out as SSLVPN will eventually be the only supported VPN app at some point.
