Question

Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack (SP1). All users have laptops that run Windows 7. The users frequently work from network locations that only allow outbound communication to the Internet by using HTTP and HTTPS. You plan to configure Server1 as a VPN server. You need to identify which VPN protocol you should use to ensure that all of the users can establish VPN connections to Server1. Which VPN protocol should you identify?

  • ASSTP
  • BPPTP
  • CIKEv2
  • DL2TP

Explanation

Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a new form of VPN tunnel with features that allow traffic to passthrough firewalls that block PPTP and L2TP/IPsec traffic. SSTP provides a mechanism to encapsulate PPP traffic over the SSL channel of the HTTPS protocol. The use of PPP allows support for strong authentication methods such as EAP-TLS. The use of HTTPS means traffic will flow through TCP port 443, a port commonly used for Web access. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provides transport-level security with enhanced key negotiation, encryption, andintegrity checking.
