VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) enable you to link two remote computers or
networks securely using the public Internet. An encrypted tunnel is
created to carry your private data between the two sites. Tunnels making
use of PPTP, L2TP, AES and IPSec protocols have been available on Vigor
routers for many years and provide a simple to set up solution for your
site-to-site or teleworker VPNs. SSL VPNs provide a new method for
teleworker to central site VPN, providing great convenience, low TCO and
simplicity where other methods may not be possible.
Note : SSL VPN is available on the DrayTek Vigor 2950 and VigorPro models.
The need for SSL VPNs
One potential drawback of using the above methods for a
Teleworker-to-central site VPN is that they need compatiable protocol
stacks at each end (e.g. an IPSec client or hardware) and most importantly
those protocols need to be freely passed by your local host network. This
isn't normally a problem where you own the computers and the network in
use and you can install any client, software or hardware you choose, as
well as allowing any traffic types you like. Where it can become a problem
is where you are using someone else's computer or network where either you
cannot use the O/S VPN client, or the host network blocks VPN protocols or
makes them unreliable. This is most commonly a problem when using WiFi
hotspots or other public Internet access methods (hotels, conference
centres etc.).
You may already have heard of SSL previously, and you have almost
certainly used it. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the protocol used by all
web browsers for accessing 'secure' web sites. You will have used secure
web sites whenver you have used your credit card online or accessed your
banking web sites, for example. SSL is supported by all web browsers, and
as it is so commonly used, all hotspots and other public Internet will
always allow SSL to pass properly.
