This tutorial is for setting up L2TP / IPSec VPN server on SonicWALL TZ300 with Firmware version 6.5. This should work for majority of other SonicWALL firewalls as well.

The SSL VPN Client Settings page allows the administrator to configure the client address range information and NetExtender client settings.The most important being where the SSL-VPN will terminate (eg on the LAN in this case) and which IPs will be given to connecting clients. Finally, select from where users should be able to login (probably. Set up a VPN connection on Mac. To connect to a virtual private network (VPN), you need to enter configuration settings in Network preferences. These settings include the VPN server address, account name, and any authentication settings, such as a password or a certificate you received from the network administrator.

• Switch to Classic Navigation Mode if not already in Classic Mode (hamburger icon in bottom left).
• Go to VPN > Settings and Enable WAN GroupVPN.
  
  • Click Edit button next to WAN GroupVPN
    • General: Set Shared Secret
    • Advanced: Enable Accept Multiple Proposals for Clients.
    • All other settings can be left as they are.
      
• Go to VPN > L2TP Server
  • Check 'Enable L2TP Server' and click Configure
    
    
    • L2TP Server:
      • Enter DNS Servers (normally your internal LAN DNS)
    • L2TP Users:
      • Select 'Use the Local L2TP IP pool' and enter IP Address range to be issued to VPN clients (this doesn't need to be within your internal LAN subnet).
      • User group for L2TP users: select Trusted Users
        
• Go to Users > Local Users & Groups > Add User...
  • Settings: enter Name and Password for your VPN user.
  • Group: Everyone and Trusted Users.
  • VPN Access: LAN Subnets
    

That should be it. You can now login from any L2TP / IPSec supporting client.

Update:

I noticed that Windows 10 VPN clients seemingly takes long time to connect to SonicWALL L2TP Server. It stays on 'Completing the connection' stage for 20-30 seconds.

In practice this doesn't seem to affect functionality though - VPN connection is actually established very quickly (2-3 seconds). So you can just ignore 'Completing the connection' status and start connecting to internal resources straight away.
