Microsoft MVP Richard Hicks walks us through Load Balancing SSTP VPN and the advantages it brings to network security: 1. SSTP uses TLS 2. Operates on Standard HTTPS port 443 3. Commonly Available 4. Easy to Implement and support Highly Scalable: 1. Easy to load balance 2. Native support for TLS (SSL) termination/offload 3. All encryption/decryption can be performed on a dedicated appliance. L2TP/IPSEC and PPTP are legacy VPN protocols and are obsolete - they should be avoided at all costs.
