Download the package installer to the Linux client then run the installer using the following command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pulse
Or you can launch Pulse from your Applications by clicking on the Pulse icon.

Features of vpn-ssl service
IP addresses assigned to the clients
To connected vpn clients is assigned an ip in the range from 10.31.0.10 to 10.31.0.254
"split-tunnel" mode
The VPN connection provides traffic directed to intranet IP using the VPN tunnel while traffic to other networks (eg Internet) is provided by standard client connection (eg ADSL at home).
NB: the routing change doesn't affect the already “established” connections at the moment of the connection
User-side Firewall rules
VPN traffic is encrypted in SSL and uses TCP destination port 443. For the ESP mode (which increases performance) you must open the UDP destination port 4500 too.
