SSL VPN quo vadis?

Hey everyone,

so, I got the impression that many of you on this sub are migrating from SSL VPN to IPSEC VPN for remote access due to recent CVEs and Fortinet giving off the impression of preferring IPSEC VPN as well (removing it from smaller appliances, etc.).

Thing is, most of our customers (not necessarily using FortiGates even) migrated to SSL VPN years ago due to specific reasons, for example:

- IPSEC RA-VPN not working well in public places/hotels because it is usually blocked there

- IPSEC RA-VPN having problems with home office users that are being NATted from native IPv6 to IPv4 which in some cases breaks IPSEC

SSL VPN being much more robust in those cases. What's your take on this? Just interested to see different viewpoints here

Nowadays, for user remote access, ZTNA is gaining popularity. You can find more details about the advantages and comparisons here.
