Web Access
Overview
A remote Web server provides services through Web pages. Through Web pages, you can not only
obtain information, but also interact with the server, such as downloading and uploading files.
On a Web page, you can click hyperlinks to jump to other Web pages. For this type of client-server
interaction, the HTTP packets are transmitted in plain text on the Internet and thus are easily to be
intercepted.
To solve this problem, SSL VPN encrypts data by using SSL, and provides secure links to Web servers. In
addition, it can block accesses from unauthorized users.
Accessing Websites
After you log into the system, the accessible websites, if configured by the administrator, are displayed
on the homepage as shown in Figure 6 . You can click a website to access it. Then, a SSL-encrypted
window pops up, as shown in Figure 7 . You can access web pages under the protection of SSL VPN.
