Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol
Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Socket_Tunneling_Protocol
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol(SSTP) is a form of VPN tunnel that provides a mechanism to transport
PPP or L2TP traffic through an SSL 3.0 channel. SSLprovides transport-level security with key-negotiation,
encryption and traffic integrity checking. The use of SSL over TCP port 443 allows SSTP to pass through
virtually all firewalls and proxy servers.
