Chris,
Yeah, a good mindset to put yourself in when thinking about what this
does is SSH tunnels. Except, in this case, it will be HTTPS tunnels.
Same idea, really. Great for a few single operations, but if you want
to have a real VPN and have access to tools to troubleshoot the
network connection, you'll have to use something else. After all,
you're tunneling, not really creating a network.
Basically, there is no such thing as a "clientless" VPN.
No, I have not used Untangle. When I get some free time, maybe.
