IPsec is often used to set up virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPN is an Internet security service that allows users to access the Internet as though they were connected to a private network. VPNs encrypt Internet communications as well as providing a strong degree of anonymity.

SSL VPN is a newer entry onto the secure access scene. The attractive thing here for resource-strapped IS staffs is that you don't have to have any software installed on the remote computer. Jan 10, 2018 · In this recipe, you will configure a site-to-site IPsec VPN that allows access to the remote endpoint via SSL VPN. This involves a pre-existing user group, a tunnel-mode SSL VPN with split-tunneling, and a route-based IPsec VPN between two FortiGates. In the example, all sessions need to start from the SSL VPN interface. As a result, SSL VPN is also known as “clientless VPN” or “Web VPN.” Another SSL VPN advantage over IPSec VPN is its ease of use for end users. Different IPSec VPN vendors may have different implementation and configuration requirements. SSL VPN, on the other hand, requires only a modern web browser. I had this same situation and fixed it by doing adding the policy from the SSL.vpn interface to the IPsec tunnel interface and then from the IPsec tunnel interface back to the SSL.vpn interface. The issue is what interfaces the traffic is allowed on. It will not hairpin to an interface that is not defined in a policy. Of the 1,710 enterprise IT pros surveyed for SearchSecurity’s 2013 Purchasing Intentions survey, 40% said they would buy a VPN appliance this year. When it came to buying IPsec vs. SSL VPNs, the respondents were evenly split, with 19.9% saying they will invest in IPsec VPNs and 20.1% planning to buy SSL VPNs. Graphics: Neva Maniscalco, TechTarget The Differences between IPsec VPN and SSL VPN The primary difference between an SSL VPN and an IPsec VPN has to do with the network layers that the encryption and authentication take place on.

Re: Remote access VPN: IPSec or SSL If you go with SSL, stick with the ASA. In my personal opinion the SSL code on the ASA is way easier to use (and I think even developed/supported better) than the SSL code on the IOS platforms at this time.

SSL VPN configurations are usually simpler than IPsec VPN configurations. All the complex networking is handled by the network infrastructure and the VPN configuration can focus on high-level communication requirements, access control, security profiles, and endpoint control.
