SSL VPNs

I have used both, and the issues with port redirection and non-web applications in SSL VPNs have been mitigated by multiple vendors. The really high-end SSL VPNs like the AEP Networks Netilla have application-specific rules.

I just put in a D-Link IPSec (no, I am not kidding) VPN in at a customer linking two sites (the budget just wasn't there to justify a higher expense).

However, I have had great experience with the Juniper products (I use the Netscreen firewalls elsewhere). They make what appears to be a decent SSL VPN at:

I also know that Cisco makes one, as well as Netgear:

I certainly hope that Netgear has done their best to lose their reputation for crap firmware. Their product does support port forwarding and redirection.

Thanks,

Mitch
