Pros and cons of remote access with Sophos OpenVPN client vs. IPSec?

Pros and cons of remote access with Sophos OpenVPN client vs. IPSec?  I set up vpn client access to the UTM with Sophos OpenVPN and generally it works well.  I see there is a straight IPSec mechanism as well, where on Windows for example you'd configure an IPSec vpn connection natively in the OS without downloading a client.  Perhaps it's similar on OS X.

What are pros and cons of one approach vs. the other?  Again this is client  VPN.

  • Hi Bob,
    Can you please clarify your point about "change the port from TCP 443 to something like 2443 UDP"... the context of the comment implies this will improve performance of SSL VPN. I just need a bit of reassurance before I ask my end users to refresh their SSL configurations. So there would be no side-effects to using the UDP port (like session reliability)?
