What is an RCF file?

RCF files mostly belong to The Simpsons: Road Rage by Radical Entertainment. RCF is the file extension associated with a SonicWALL VPN configuration file. It is used by the Global VPN Client (GVC), which is a VPN client developed by SonicWALL that can be configured as an IPsec or an SSL endpoint agent and can provide managed devices secure access to a corporate data center. The RCF file stores one or more VPN connection profiles for the Global VPN Client. It is also called a VPN policy file. It is an XML format file that can be created and edited using any text editor. The RCF file contains VPN connection configuration information, including the connection's name, description (text), various flags, and peer settings for up to five peers per connection. There is no hard limit on the number of connection profiles allowed in an RCF file. A common file name for an RCF file is default.RCF. This file allows the creation and distribution of preconfigured VPN connections. When the Global VPN Client launches, it looks for the Connections.RCF file in the \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SonicWall\Global VPN Client directory. If this file is not found, the Global VPN Client looks for the default.RCF file in the installation directory and uses it to recreate the Connections.RCF file.

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes".
