    Description: OpenConnect VPN Server

OpenConnect server (ocserv) is an SSL VPN server. Its purpose is to be a secure,
small, fast and configurable VPN server. It implements the OpenConnect SSL VPN 
protocol, and has also (currently experimental) compatibility with clients using
the AnyConnect SSL VPN protocol. The OpenConnect VPN protocol uses the standard 
IETF security protocols such as TLS 1.2, and Datagram TLS to provide the secure 
VPN service. The server is implemented primarily for the GNU/Linux platform but 
its code is designed to be portable to other UNIX variants as well.

Ocserv's main feature is isolation of the VPN users from the main VPN server 
process. Each authenticated user is assigned an unprivileged worker process, and
a networking (tun) device. That not only eases the control of the resources of 
each user or group of users, but also prevents privilege escalation due to any 
bug on the VPN handling (worker) server. Each VPN user can be authenticated 
using password, PAM, public key (in a smart card or not) or any combination of 
methods.

Thanks and Regards,
