I'm using a computer for the sole purpose of connecting to my work network via VPN. I actually connect to my work computers via a SSL GUI once connected to the VPN. In essence this computer is a thin client. What I want to know, is what are the bare minimum ports that need to be open?
 
On your side? Whatever your server decides to open to get to the ssl vpn. The open port requirements are on the vpn server side, not yours.
