Local Group — IP address and subnet mask of the local group.
A Secure Sockets Layer virtual private network (SSLVPN) allows users to establish a secure, remote-access VPN tunnel to this device by using a web browser. SSL VPN provides secure, easy access to a broad range of web resources and web-enabled applications from almost any computer on the Internet. Here, you can view the status of the SSL VPN tunnels.
