When there is no requirement to use a VPN client, or where IPSec communication can not be realised via LAN because of firewall settings, SSL VPN technology can be used. For example: Integration of affilates or sporadic teleworkers (at any computer), alternative access to the organisation’s network (e.g. onsite at a client’s facility, where company policy does not provide for IPSec).
