HOTSPOT
You have a computer running Windows 7 Enterprise. You need to set up a VPN connection using PPP
protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer) using HTTPS channel. What type of VPN connection would you need?
Explanation:
Click on “Automatic” under Type of VPN, and choose SSTP.
SSTP Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a new tunneling protocol that uses the HTTPS
protocol over TCP port 443 to pass traffic through firewalls and Web proxies that might block PPTP
and L2TP/IPsec traffic. SSTP provides a mechanism to encapsulate PPP traffic over the Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) channel of the HTTPS protocol. The use of PPP allows support for strong
authentication methods, such as EAP-TLS. SSL provides transport-level security with enhanced key
negotiation, encryption, and integrity checking.
