What is the best free SSL VPN client that works on 64 and 32 bit windows clients?

  • When you say SSL VPN, do you mean a VPN that uses SSL or an SSL gateway that acts like a VPN?

  • I'm really looking for something that I can use to replace the Forticlient SSL VPN software, but also want something that can be used to access other networks. I assume this is a VPN that uses SSL.

  • Yes. This is a VPN that uses SSL to negotiate the connection securely.

Try OpenVPN (http://openvpn.net/). It's cross-platform, completely free, extremely secure, and once configured it's extremely easy to deploy. I can't confirm whether it specifically targets x64, but the x86 build should work on the x64 architecture.

Edit: I should mention that OpenVPN won a "Bossie" in 2007 as the best Open Source VPN.

Also, OpenVPN 2.1 is Vista-ready on both x86 and x64.

  • OpenVPN (openvpn.net) is only able to connect to their own service - which they call "Shield Exchange".

You could use Windows 2008 Server and the built-in Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol? You could use the built-in Windows Vista/7 networking client and the configuration is very simple.

  • Just re-read the question and missed the "free" requirement. Sorry about that...
