ProSecure Unified Threat Management UTM10 or UTM25 Reference Manual

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.

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.”
