Manual for the Creation of an Advanced VPN SSL in SWPanel

1. Introduction and content summary

This manual aims to guide the user step-by-step in the creation of an Advanced VPN SSL from their SWPanel management environment. Throughout the document, the concepts, processes, and configurations necessary to implement this functionality will be explained in detail.

What is a VPN SSL?

A VPN SSL (Virtual Private Network Secure Sockets Layer) is a system that allows the establishment of a secure and encrypted connection between a user and a private network via the Internet, using the SSL protocol. This type of connection is commonly used to access internal services from external locations with complete security.

What is an Advanced VPN SSL?

An Advanced VPN SSL is an extended and more configurable version of a standard VPN SSL. In SWPanel, it enables secure connection via virtual networks (VLAN) to manage one or more Cloud servers securely and efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before creating an Advanced VPN SSL, it is necessary to have created a VLAN with your Cloud servers. You can check how to do it in the following manual:
