Configure SSTP VPN Connection
I’m sure most network administrators will know how useful a VPN can be, although we have probably all encountered issues with firewalls not always letting the required traffic through which can prevent them from working. For example for PPTP VPN’s require your router to handle GRE protocol traffic, similarly L2TP requires ESP protocol traffic. The whole point of VPNs is to allow access to your network form anywhere, which is why SSTP VPNs are so great.
SSTP (Secure Socket Tunnelling Protocol) transports your VPN traffic by encapsulating the traffic via an SSL link, all over the standard HTTPS port (TCP 443), which is rarely blocked (most web browsing wouldn’t work without it!). So not only does SSTP get through 99% of firewalls, but it also ensures that your VPN traffic is encrypted.
