SSL Remote Access

Secure access deployed by the user on any operating system.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Remote Access is a virtual private network which usually operates over the HTTPS port of 443 and allows the user to connect to the Astaro device from anywhere in the world. This application is ideal for users who travel or frequently find themselves outside of work or their home offices and need a stable, secure connection.

SSL Remote Access offers the same encryption strength and security of other remote access types and is activated with a simple click or automatically each time the user’s machine starts up. Administrators benefit from having a self-deploying distribution method, so they do not have to physically install and deploy the SSL Remote Access on each machine. After being allowed to use the service by the administrator, employees navigate to the Astaro UserPortal, download and install their personal client and simply connect.

Automatic split tunneling can segment only traffic destined for the central office network down the VPN tunnel, while other traffic uses the normal Internet connection of the user.

No technical information or experience is needed to install and connect with Astaro's SSL Remote Access. The Astaro SSL VPN client is available free of charge and allows unlimited users to make use of this access type.
