RE: SSL VPN

[<stefan.sulistyo () accenture com>]

I can also really recommend the SSL Explorer Project. So far, I have not
used it in a real production environment (unless you want to count my
home network). However, it has a nice clean interface, a VPN client that
downloads as a Java applet, a ton of features, integrates with AD, and
is completely open and free.

I believe it is still in a pre-1.0 Version however, so they are still
adding a lot of new features with each release. This might not make it
too suitable for an enterprise setting, at this time. I think, they want
to offer a commercial support package around it in the near future, if
they haven't already done so.

One big advantage for private use: You can easily set it up to tunnel
what ever protocol you want, through the SSL connection even to outside
hosts in the Internet (very useful for those occasions, where outbound
traffic is blocked on certain ports ;)

Here we are using a Juniper SA1000 for our SSL VPN Solution.  They have
really made some nice advancements in the technology.  If you recall the
NEOTERIS group, they were one of the pioneer's in the SSLVPN industry.
Juniper purchased them and are using that technology.  It works quite
well for us.

Because SSL VPN technology is so hot right now, vendors are able to
command quite a large cost for their appliances.  If you are looking for
something in the Open Source arena (to save some $$) check out SSL
Explorer http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslexplorer/.  It works quite
well with similar functionality as the big name appliances.  There is a
nice support forum as well.

Good Luck.
