SSL VPN using web and tunnel mode

SSL VPN using web and tunnel mode

In this example, you allow remote users to access the corporate network using an SSL VPN, connecting either by web mode using a web browser or tunnel mode using FortiClient.

Web mode allows users to access network resources, such as the AdminPC used in this example.

For users connecting via tunnel mode, traffic to the Internet also flows through the FortiGate to apply security scanning to this traffic. In the connecting phase, the FortiGate also verifies that the remote user’s antivirus software is installed and up-to-date.

This example allows access for members of the Employees user group.
