Presumably you mean that you want a web-based VPN, so that they can
use a web browser to access desktops in the office, correct?

If so, you should probably take a look at SSL-Explorer - they have a
community edition that's free, and a supported "enterprise" edition
for purchase.

If instead you want a VPN that operates over SSL, you will need your
clients to install *something* on their machines at home, but one
well-respected OSS solution in this space is OpenVPN.
