8. Conclusion

SSL Explorer makes a perfect secure gateway to your SOHO network if you need to access data or applications on your PC from time to time. It is very user friendly and very robust. And there are many other features that I have not even begun to touch upon in this article due to space limitations.

I hope that this article has given you some ideas on how to free yourself from the hassles of IPsec and PPTP tunneling through the wonders of an SSL VPN. Now go have some fun and do some office work from the beach maybe?

Other resources
