## Differences between SSL and IPSec tunnels

## Tunnel transport selection

IPSec is recommended for all connections because of it's performance and features. However, in certain situations,
70
-
it might not work (for example because of the corporate firewall policies). In this case the SSL tunnel can be used
71
-
which is a subject to some limitations.
69
+
IPSec transport is the default transport and is preferred because of it's performance and support for extended authentication types.
70
+
By default, it will use kernel IPSec infrastructure with UDP-based tunnel over ports 500 and 4500.

**New in version 3.0**: TCPT transport support has been added to the application which largely deprecates SSL tunnel.
74
-
TCPT is a proprietary Check Point protocol that operates over TCP port 443, allowing users to bypass restrictive
75
-
firewalls and tunnel all traffic through a single TCP port. Its performance is comparable to an SSL tunnel,
76
-
and it functions via a TUN device rather than relying on the kernel's IPSec infrastructure.
72
+
In some environments those ports may be blocked by the firewall, in this case use the `ike-transport=tcpt` and `esp-transport=tcpt` options
73
+
to tunnel IPSec traffic over TCP port 443. Note that TCPT transport is slower than native IPSec over UDP.
77

-
**NOTE**: IPSec over UDP requires that IPv6 module is enabled in the kernel.
75
+
For older VPN Servers or in case they don't have IPSec enabled, the legacy SSL tunnel can be used as well, selected with `tunnel-type=ssl`.
76
+
SSL tunnel has a limited support for authentication types: no browser-based SSO, no hardware token support, no MFA in combination with the certificates.
