About:
SSTP Client is an open-source implementation of Microsoft's Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol. It enables Linux and BSD systems to establish secure VPN connections to Microsoft SSTP servers. The tool handles the SSL/TLS encryption and PPP tunneling required for remote access networking.
Key Features:
  • Implements SSTP protocol for secure tunneling
  • Compatible with Microsoft RRAS SSTP servers
  • Supports PPP authentication methods (PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAPv2)
  • Uses OpenSSL for SSL/TLS encryption
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Connecting Linux/BSD clients to Windows Server VPN infrastructure
  • Secure remote access to corporate networks using SSTP
  • Migrating Windows VPN clients to Linux environments
Alternatives:
  • openvpn – More widely supported but requires separate server infrastructure
  • wireguard – Modern alternative with simpler config, but not compatible with Microsoft SSTP servers
