Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol [SSTP] in Longhorn & Vista

This may be old news to some of you but I thought I would post this for others. Here are the links from MS...

VPN tunnel across web proxy, NAT and firewall - no kidding !!...

In Vista SP1 and Longhorn Server release, we are adding a new form of VPN tunnel called as SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol).

SoonerAl See Profile - thank you for links.

It's looks like they have decided to get one more step in direction to what a VPN tunnel could and should be.

They finally discovered (surprise , after so many years of offering PPTP/L2TP/IPSec) that VPN should be more, how to say it, "network friendly":

quote:
I am sure at times you might have faced this problem where PPTP or L2TP based VPN connection does not go through. This may be in some hotel or when you are visiting a customer or partner site etc. This is primarily due to PPTP GRE port blocking or L2TP ESP port blocking issue by some firewall or NAT router in your path between client to server.

(quoted from here, author even do not mentioned "lovely" IPSec as a champion trouble creator)

BTW, that's exactly what OpenVPN offers to its users for many years and particularly - using common IP and not special protocols...

So, let see what this time that one more proprietary solution will offer and what if will hold from its users (as all such solutions always do).

I wish them luck, but still rely on OpenVPN as my primary VPN solution.
