Free SSL VPN Solutions?
poison1701 asks: "I am in the process of evaluating SSL VPN solutions to comply with the security regulations that are imposed on my company. So far the only free SSL VPN product I have come across is SSL Explorer Community Edition which looks like a very good product, but the free version lacks some of the features that I want (like the full IPSec client). What other SSL VPN solutions are out there? "
The question is lame. Personally, it sounds like someone trying to get traffic driven to their site than a genuine Ask Slashdot.
I'm a bit confused, too, about why IPSec is a requirement if you are looking to use an SSL VPN?
In the meantime, just check out openssl.org.
Gee, if only there were a way to search previous articles. Oh, wait! There is!

I didn't see where he said web. SSL doesn't mean web based.
He pointed to SSL Explorer, which is a Web Based VPN. But, as a web based vpn, it doesn't give you a full internal ip. My belief was that that by pointing to a web based vpn, called SSL Explorer, he thought SSL based VPN meant Web Based VPN.
You're right, he never said Web Based directly, but his use of the technology, the stuff he pointed to as examples, etc. lead me to believe that we need to get the terminology down before going forward.
Can I get an eye poke?

SSL isn't necessarily related to the web or HTTP. Other protocol can be (and are) tunneled over SSL. See also: SSL.
