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 PC 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.
Use the SSL VPN Wizard for Client Configurations
The SSL VPN Wizard facilitates the configuration of the SSL VPN client connections by
taking you through six screens, the last of which allows you to save the SSL VPN policy. For
information about how to edit policies or to manually configure policies, see Manually
Configure and Edit SSL Connections on page 336.
 To start the SSL VPN Wizard:
1. Select Wizards from the main navigation menu. The Welcome to the Netgear
Configuration Wizard screen displays:

The following sections explain the five configuration screens of the SSL VPN Wizard. On the
sixth screen, you can save your SSL VPN policy.

screens. Additional information about the settings in the SSL VPN Wizard screens is
provided in Manually Configure and Edit SSL Connections on page 336 or in other chapters.
