A web client for OpenVPN doesn't really make sense to me. OpenVPN creates a system level encrypted network connection. It joins networks together. But a browser is a userland appliance. It wouldn't have the permission to do anything outside at the system level. That would require reaching out of the sandbox. Also, if you are asking if you could do something inside the browser only then the browser already supports https protocol with SSL connections. Those are already encrypted connections. The client side browser already has full support for all of this. On the other hand you may be asking if there is a server side module that could be created on a system so that you could use your web browser to connect in a way similar to ssh or something to provide access? Those do exist but I don't use them myself and so don't know of one to suggest off the top of my head. Also, depending upon what you are trying to do you might be able to use one of the userland fusefs applications. Using sshfs for example you can mount another host's filesystem on the local machine. You can browse files, edit files, and mostly full access, all over the secure ssh connection and all in userland. $ apt-cache show sshfs Description: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol sshfs is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh. Bob
