I'm trying to give this thread the benefit of the doubt, but it has an uncomfortably spammy feel, and I don't currently see the relevance to Guacamole. I'll be happy to stand corrected if anyone can describe why such a thing would be an improvement over straight Guacamole, but until then I rather feel like I'm being marketed at. The justification that it provides additional security seems strained given that (1) you can achieve the same with a reverse proxy and (2) requiring a VPN client to use Guacamole would neuter the ability to connect with a browser alone. - Mike
