8-2 Virtual Private Networking Using SSL Connections
v1.0, January 2010
• SSL Port Forwarding. Like an SSL VPN tunnel, port forwarding is a Web-based client that
installs 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 connection
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.
Using 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. To edit policies
or to manually configure policies, see “Manually Configuring and Editing SSL Connections” on
page 8-17.”
To start the SSL VPN Wizard:
1. Select Wizards from the main navigation menu. The “Welcome to the Netgear Configuration
Wizard” screen displays.
2. Select the SSLS VPN Wizard radio button.
3. Click Next.The first SSL VPN Wizard screen displays.
