IPSec and SSL VPN

IPSec and SSL VPN are two different technologies used for creating secure virtual private networks (VPNs) over the internet. Each has its own advantages and use cases. Here's a comparison of IPSec and SSL VPN, along with information about Sangfor's support:

    IPSec VPN (Internet Protocol Security VPN):

•         IPSec operates at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model.
•         It provides site-to-site VPN connectivity or remote access VPN for individual devices.
•         IPSec VPNs offer strong encryption and authentication, ensuring a high level of security.
•         It requires a dedicated IPSec VPN client software on the user's device for establishing the connection.
•         IPSec VPNs can be more complex to configure, especially for remote access scenarios.
•         It is generally preferred for connecting networks together or for organizations with strict security requirements.
  
  

    SSL VPN (Secure Socket Layer VPN) or TLS VPN (Transport Layer Security VPN):

•         SSL/TLS operates at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model.
•         SSL VPN provides remote access to specific applications or services hosted on a network.
•         It uses standard web browsers or lightweight SSL VPN clients, eliminating the need for specialized software.
•         SSL VPNs are easier to set up and use, making them ideal for remote workers or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios.
•         SSL VPNs are more adaptable to various network environments and are often used for secure remote access.
