SSL VPN's perform tunneling and can route IP traffic though the tunnel to any resource. Reverse proxy does not route standard IP traffic. On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Dan Lynch <DLynch () placer ca gov> wrote:
From a security perspective, when placed front ending an intranet web server that itself is SSL-enabled, is there any difference between an SSL VPN appliance, and a simple HTTP reverse proxy that performs authentication? Is there some class of threat that is addressed better by the SSL VPN, or not at all by the reverse proxy? Dan Lynch, CISSP Information Technology Analyst County of Placer Auburn, CA
