"you don't need to add any rules on the gw to permit 443 traffic towards it. it's being done automatically by the implied rules when you enable visitor mode."

I didn't follow the entire thread because it was so long, so I missed the versions in use. With R55 you had to create an explicit access rule. I was told that enabling Visitor Mode on R60 created an implied rule. I have R61 and there is no implied rule. I had to create one. Your mileage may vary. :-)

Visitor Mode works really well. It's one of the biggest advantages of using SecureClient instead of SecuRemote. It fixed connectivity issues at hotels, behind crummy home routers, etc. Our execs would be sitting side by side with a business partner using Cisco and the business partner could not get connected and would be on the cell phone to their help desk but Visitor Mode always worked.

You might want to drop your topology update interval from the default to 1 hour. That will assure changes like these get pushed to the clients at their next logon. The userc.C file is only 1K or so, so there is no bandwidth issue.

you don't need to add any rules on the gw to permit 443 traffic towards it. it's being done automatically by the implied rules when you enable visitor mode.

4)ensuring port chosen is unoccupied at gateway
