This VPN how-to describes how to connect to a TorGuard “Stealth” SSTP VPN server by using the Easy SSTP app for Mac OS.
MS-SSTP (Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol) is a VPN protocol which is developed by Microsoft Corporation. This protocol implements PPP over HTTPS (SSL) and capsules all user packets on TCP So it can bypass even the most strict firewall or VPN blockade. This means those located behind the great firewall of China or Iran can tunnel their web connection without fear of it becoming blocked. SSTP VPN tunnels are virtually invisible and impossible to distinguish as to a network admin it will appear as regular SSL traffic.
