90 Percent of All SSL VPNs Use Insecure or Outdated Encryption

Makes me wonder which servers/systems are actually good!!

That sounds like it is by design.

Lots of people think VPNs don't log either...

High-Tech Bridge is also providing a free tool that can tell users if their SSL VPN or HTTPS website is actually doing a good job of protecting them.

All I see is a website option. Where is the VPN option!

An SSL VPN is different from a classic IPSec VPN because it can be used inside a standard Web browser without needing to install specific software on the client-side.

SSL VPNs are installed on servers, and clients connect to the VPN via their browsers alone. This connection between the user's browser and the VPN server is encrypted with the SSL or TLS protocol.

Maybe I am wrong but I have a feeling that a lot of people reading this post will read "SSL VPN" as "VPN". The difference is important.

Just type in the iport that you connect to when using your VPN.

Says the server does not support SSL/TLS. As Keith said this is for SSL VPNs. I don't use that.
