currently use an older Sonicwall SSL. It has worked solid for over 5 years. Rarely even think about, except when I need to renew my certificates. Pretty straight forward process setting the device up. I have been to a couple of Sonicwall Aventail demos...pretty impressive performance and controls. What are you connecting to behind it?

<div>
Going to be connecting mainly network shares and also 1 possibly 2 client/server applications. &nbsp;After speaking with Sonicwall yesterday I know I will want the VPN client they offer to install on laptops so that everywhere the laptop is I can have it log in through the vpn and register on my domain, then have the VPN client run my usual login script to offer up my network shares. &nbsp; This would also allow access for my client/server application since it depends on one of the network shares that would be connected via the login script.<br />
<br />
I'll check out the new suggestions, price is definitely a deal maker/breaker.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Thanks everyone, ultimately price is the deciding factor and we are geared towards the Barracuda solution. &nbsp;They had excellent customer service and support so far, and I'm confident that I will be able to implement their solution (that is if we are allowed to purchase at all!)

Hi. &nbsp;Just want to know what kind of SSL VPN you'd recommend purchasing. &nbsp;So far I've looked at the Lowest Barracuda model, and the Lowest SonicWall Aventail model. &nbsp;Thanks.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
