I have never understood the statement that SSL VPNs are inherently safer. Would someone please tell me why you think they are?
I've used Connectra and Juniper Secure Access. In both systems you're simply limiting what the source can get to based on rules for the destination. It's nothing more than I can do with SecureClient, and in fact it's less than I can do. Now, if you talking SSL VPN versus Microsoft PPTP or L2TP, then yes, SSL VPN is safer but only because you've paid for the capability to control where the endpoint can go and what you can log. "Free" as in "It's included with Microsoft Server" comes with a high price in terms of manageability. The only advantage I can see is that the client software is pushed instead of pulled IF the end user has admin rights. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
