Need Remote Access Ideas

lllddt6 · 02-17-2009, 09:57 AM

Situation: Currently using DSL connected to a linksys wireless router with built-in firewall. I need to provide outside access via VPN and SSL to 3-5 people. I do not have the experience to configure a router. I'm looking for a user friendly device to provide VPN and SSL. I'm currently considering the NetGear SSL312. Does anyone have a better idea considering my lack of knowledge in this area.
Thank You

What's your budget?

What capabilities do you need with your SSL solution?

Sonicwall can do most of what people usually want and is priced what I consider to be cheap, but I don't know how much you're willing spend.

SSL Explorer is open source and available at no cost (other than the OS you're running it on). It has a package install, but will take some reding to get it up and running. Overall, it's fairly intuitive. There are options for RDP, VNC, SSH etc...
