SSL VPNs use browser-based protocols to create secure tunnels between a user's device and an SSL VPN gateway, providing end-to-end-encrypted (E2EE) access to protected resources. While they are relatively simple to deploy and easy to use, administrators must address security issues with SSL VPNs. The protocol has evolved from Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to Transport Layer Security (TLS), but still faces limitations such as increased latency and congestion, and potential vulnerabilities due to their public presence. In contrast, Twingate offers a software-based access solution that combines the low cost and simplicity of an SSL VPN with the security benefits of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This approach provides individual resources invisible from any network, eliminating VPN's network performance issues, and gives administrators granular control over user access.
