Finally managed to get my company’s VPN server up and running using SSL Explorer. SSL Explorer  is using a clientless SSL VPN access method to access to your company network, therefore there isn’t any need to install a VPN client software on the laptop of those road warriors or remote workers.

What the road warrior or remote worker need to do is to use his or her browser and access a secured SSL website, key in his or her username and password to access the company network.

The reason why I’m tasked to set up a VPN server for my company is that our current Netscreen Remote VPN has only 10 concurrent users license. So if there were to be a pandemic like the recent swine flu and staffs where to be ordered to stay at home they can easily connect back to company’s network via VPN. So here comes the problem, if more 10 staffs are trying to access to the company’s network via VPN, our current Netscreen Remote VPN appliance will not be able to accept that many connections.

But with SSL Explorer, I’m able to overcome this limitation as SSL Explorer can accept up to 500 concurrent connections. What’s more, SSL Explorer is free.

With the escalation of the swine flu alert level to level 5 by the World Health Organization, it is a good time for every businesses to have a pandemic preparedness plan in case swine flu hit our shores.
