+SSTP-Client (SSTP client for Linux)
+
+SSTP is Microsofts Remote Access Solution (RAS) for PPP over SSL. It can be
+used instead of PPTP or L2TP, and is only available with Windows Vista/7
+connecting to a Windows 2008 Server. The advantage of SSTP compared to PPTP
+and L2TP is that it cannot be easily blocked by firewalls since the traffic
+is transmitted over HTTPS on port 443. Windows Vista/7 uses SSTP if PPTP or
+L2TP cannot be established.
+
