# Virtual private networks

Forcepoint NGFW supports both policy-based and route-based VPN (virtual private network) tunnels between VPN gateways. For full remote access, Forcepoint NGFW supports both IPsec and SSL VPN tunnels for VPN clients.

Forcepoint NGFW also supports an SSL VPN Portal that provides access to internal HTTP and HTTPS services through a standard web browser or through a client application that allows direct network access.
