Remotely manage a Sonicwall firewall over a VPN tunnel

Earlier I was looking to remotely manage a Sonicwall firewall via HTTPS over a VPN tunnel that I had established to the device. In order to do this firstly select ‘VPN’ in the Sonicwall’s menu, the ‘Settings’ section should then be highlighted. Click the ‘configure’ button for the VPN tunnel that you want to manage the device over, which will open the settings screen for that VPN Policy. Next click the ‘Advanced’ tab, and look for the section labelled ‘Management via this SA’.  Check the boxes for protocols that you wish to manage the device over, and click OK, as shown below.
