Virtual Private Networking Using SSL Connections

ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance
• SSL port forwarding. Like an SSL VPN tunnel, port forwarding is a web-based client that
is installed transparently and then creates a virtual, encrypted tunnel to the remote
network. However, port forwarding differs from an SSL VPN tunnel in several ways:
- Port forwarding supports only TCP connections, not UDP connections or connections
using other IP protocols.
- Port forwarding detects and reroutes individual data streams on the user’s computer
to the port-forwarding connection rather than opening up a full tunnel to the corporate
network.
- Port forwarding offers more fine-grained management than an SSL VPN tunnel. You
define individual applications and resources that are available to remote users.
The SSL VPN portal can present the remote user with one or both of these SSL service
levels, depending on how you set up the configuration.
