Leading the market in the Free Open Source Software (FOSS) space for Virtual Private Networks (VPN) is a product by 3SP Software named SSL-Explorer.
Utilising this technology you are able to lock down your network allowing a single port on your firewall to remain open while still providing a complete range of network functionally.
Testing of SSL-Explorer has highlighted a quick an easy installation process at a greatly reduced cost than dedicated hardware devices. This is perfect for small to medium businesses who may have a single remote site and find that utilising the Internet is a more cost effective alternative to dark fibre when comparing speed and the logistics of site to site connectivity.
SSL-Explorer has the ability to add applications very much like a Citrix Access Gateway as well as access to file shares and network resources. A feature rich product that highlights that open source is here to stay and can produce functionally that normally has in the past be associate to multi-million dollar application development companies.
