What is SSL VPN?
SSL VPN is a web-based secure private connection between external networks and the University’s internal network. Web-based vpn provides the capability to allow authorized users access to private or restricted services on the UCnet from off campus locations. While travelling, users may encounter locations that prohibit a traditional IPSEC VPN connection; this is one area where the SSL VPN has an advantage.
