The [[WatchGuard]] Mobile VPN with SSL client is a software application that is installed on a remote computer. The client makes a secure connection from the remote computer to your protected network through an unsecured network, such as the [[Internet]]. The Mobile VPN client uses [[Transport Layer Security (TLS)]] to secure the connection. TLS is the successor to [[Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)]].
