Free SSL VPN Solutions?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the your-own-tunnel dept.

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? "

    > It makes me wonder why the hell anyone would mess with PPTP or IPSec stuff, especially since NAT is almost everywhere these days.

    I use IPSec because I can buy cheap wireless routers that have hardware accelerated IPSec, and IPSec clients are widely available (built into MacOS X, easily installable in Linux).

    IPSec does work with NAT. IPSec AH (authenticate only, not encrypt) mode doesn't, but nobody uses that and many devices don't support it. IPSec ESP works fine through NAT.
