Configuring SSL VPNs for Secure Public-Terminal Connections

by Russell Smith

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs provide secure remote network
connections through the public Internet using HTTP Secure (HTTPS) and
Microsoft's new VPN protocol, Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP).
SSL VPNs also create secure communication tunnels without the need to
install additional client software. Learn the advantages of SSL VPNs
over traditional PPTP and L2TP/IPsec VPNs, how SSTP works, and how to
configure an SSL VPN. Read the full article for information about
