Juniper Networks Secure Access leads the SSL VPN market with a complete range of remote access appliances. Juniper Networks SSL VPN products have a variety of form factors and features that can be combined to meet the needs of companies of all sizes, from SMBs that need access for remote/mobile employees to large global deployments that need to provide remote and/or extranet access, for employees, partners, and customers from a single platform. Juniper Networks SSL VPNs are based on the Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) platform, which uses SSL, the security protocol found in all standard Web browsers.

TrueCrypt is a free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux. It creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk. Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a storage device such as USB flash drive. Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent. Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password, with hidden volume and no TrueCrypt volume(volumes cannot be distinguished from random data). It supports encryption algorithms like: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent, Triple DES, and Twofish.

Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features. Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.

Stunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) available on both Unix and Windows. Stunnel can allow you to secure non-SSL aware daemons and protocols (like POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by having Stunnel provide the encryption, requiring no changes to the daemon’s code. The Stunnel source code is not a complete product — you still require a functioning SSL library such as OpenSSL or SSLeay in order to compile stunnel. This means that stunnel can support whatever (and only) that which your SSL library can, without making any changes in the Stunnel code.
