Sometimes, customers reach out to us trying to achieve an SSL VPN connection on their legacy ZyWall USG products. Unfortunately, this is nearly impossible to achieve.
Reason for this is, that in the high-times of the ZyWall USG Series, the approach for setting up VPN was a way different one: clients connected via HTTPS to the login page and then used JavaScript to connect to the site via SSL VPN. But JavaScript unfortunately is a thing of the past, as newer and more advanced technologies took in it's place.
In order to offer SSL VPN on our newer USGs, Zyxel has created the SecuExtender SSL VPN software. This software however is not compatible with the old way of setting up SSL VPNs and can only be used on ZyWall or USG devices of the Newer Generation - if you are wondering, which are the older and newer USG firewalls, have a look at this page: https://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/Licenses-for-Unified-Security-Gateway-ZyWALL-Series-Security-Licenses/legacylicenses
