## Chapter 24 Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN

Kerio Clientless SSL-VPN (thereinafter “SSL-VPN”) is a special interface used for secured remote access to shared items (files and folders) in the network protected by WinRoute via a web browser.

To a certain extent, the SSL-VPN interface is an alternative to Kerio VPN Client (see chapter 23 Kerio VPN). Its main benefit is that it enables an immediate access to a remote network from any location without any special application having been installed and any configuration having been performed (that's the reason for calling it clientless). The main disadvantage of this alternative is that network connections are not transparent. SSL-VPN is, in a manner, an alternative to the My Network Places system tool ) — it does not enable access to web servers or other services in a—remote network.

SSL-VPN is suitable for an immediate access to shared files in remote networks in such environments where it is not possible or useful to use Kerio VPN Client.
