How does a SSL VPN work?
An SSL VPN doesn't require a special client to be installed on the machine that's managing it.
They use a point-to-point tunneling protocol.
An SSL VPN uses a client application on a remote system, with a VPN termination device that sits inside the network.
SSL VPNs are like PPTP (point-to-point tunneling protocol), but offer better security features, such as the option to use 168-bit keys with 3DES.
An SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer virtual private network) is a form of VPN that can be used with a standard Web browser. In contrast to the traditional Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) VPN, an SSL VPN does not require the installation of specialized client software on the end user's computer. <== this comment is simply wrong, that's BS <====EDIT: I agree. As we speak, I am using a Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN client that had to be installed. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/anyconnect-secure-mobility-client-v4-x/model.html. Technically it is possible to use an SSLVPN using just a browser, but this usually limits what a user can access. Today most SSLVPNs require a client. EDIT: Although i agree with the statement "An SSL VPN doesn't require a special client....", this does NOT answer the question "How does a SSL VPN work?". NONE of the 4 listed choices explains how SSL VPN works which is what was asked. EDIT:: Whats going on here. This question is asked for the second time, except that the answer that was correct with the first question has (all of a sudden) became wrong for the second question. Skillset what is going on here????
