+SSTP Client
+###########
+
+:abbr:`SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol)` is a form of :abbr:`VTP (Virtual
+Private Network)` tunnel that provides a mechanism to transport PPP traffic
+through an SSL/TLS channel. SSL/TLS provides transport-level security with key
+negotiation, encryption and traffic integrity checking. The use of SSL/TLS over
+TCP port 443 (by default, port can be changed) allows SSTP to pass through
+virtually all firewalls and proxy servers except for authenticated web proxies.
+
+.. note:: VyOS also comes with a build in SSTP server, see :ref:`sstp`.

+
+Common interface configuration
+==============================
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-description.txt
+   :var0: sstpc
+   :var1: sstpc0
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-disable.txt
+   :var0: sstpc
+   :var1: sstpc0
+
+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-mtu.txt
+   :var0: sstpc
+   :var1: sstpc0

+.. cmdinclude:: /_include/interface-vrf.txt
+   :var0: sstpc
+   :var1: sstpc0
+
+SSTP Client Options
+===================
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> no-default-route
+
+   Only request an address from the SSTP server but do not install any default
+   route.
+
+   Example:
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+     set interfaces sstpc sstpc0 no-default-route
+
+   .. note:: This command got added in VyOS 1.4 and inverts the logic from the old
+     ``default-route`` CLI option.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> default-route-distance <distance>
+
+   Set the distance for the default gateway sent by the SSTP server.
+
+   Example:
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+     set interfaces sstpc sstpc0 default-route-distance 220
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> no-peer-dns
+
+   Use this command to not install advertised DNS nameservers into the local
+   system.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> server <address>
+
+   SSTP remote server to connect to. Can be either an IP address or FQDN.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> ip adjust-mss <mss | clamp-mss-to-pmtu>
+
+  As Internet wide PMTU discovery rarely works, we sometimes need to clamp our
+  TCP MSS value to a specific value. This is a field in the TCP options part of
+  a SYN packet. By setting the MSS value, you are telling the remote side
+  unequivocally 'do not try to send me packets bigger than this value'.
+
+  .. note:: This command was introduced in VyOS 1.4 - it was previously called:
+    ``set firewall options interface <name> adjust-mss <value>``
+
+  .. hint:: MSS value = MTU - 20 (IP header) - 20 (TCP header), resulting in
+    1452 bytes on a 1492 byte MTU.
+
+  Instead of a numerical MSS value `clamp-mss-to-pmtu` can be used to
+  automatically set the proper value.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> ip disable-forwarding
+
+  Configure interface-specific Host/Router behaviour. If set, the interface will
+  switch to host mode and IPv6 forwarding will be disabled on this interface.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces sstpc <interface> ip source-validation <strict | loose | disable>
+
+  Enable policy for source validation by reversed path, as specified in
+  :rfc:`3704`. Current recommended practice in :rfc:`3704` is to enable strict
+  mode to prevent IP spoofing from DDos attacks. If using asymmetric routing
+  or other complicated routing, then loose mode is recommended.
+
+  - strict: Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the interface
+    is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail. By default failed
+    packets are discarded.
+
+  - loose: Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against the FIB
+    and if the source address is not reachable via any interface the packet
+    check will fail.
+
+  - disable: No source validation
+
+*********
+Operation
+*********
+
+.. opcmd:: show interfaces sstpc <interface>
+
+   Show detailed information on given `<interface>`
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+     vyos@vyos:~$ show interfaces sstpc sstpc10
+     sstpc10: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 3

+
+Connect/Disconnect
+==================
+
+.. opcmd:: disconnect interface <interface>
+
+   Test disconnecting given connection-oriented interface. `<interface>` can be
+   ``sstpc0`` as the example.
+
+.. opcmd:: connect interface <interface>
+
+   Test connecting given connection-oriented interface. `<interface>` can be
+   ``sstpc0`` as the example.
