[Feature Request] VPN Integration

[IngwiePhoenix]

Hello!

I am aware that this is rather broad... But basically, I would like to achieve a method by which I can:

• Connect to a VPN
• Optionally - if for example required by firewall rules - delegate a remote host as gateway via SSH and port-forwarding
• Auto-Scan devices within the VPN
• Add them to their own category

I tried to implement something like this as Kubernetes Containers by utilizing External Secrets, Vaultwarden and KCL - but never got too far...

The VPNs we use are SonicWall NextExtender/GVC (which is IPSec with PSK + User/Pass) OpenVPN (both tcp and udp as per config + user/pass) and sometimes a TLS/SSL tunnel (like the DrayTek client - I genuenly have no idea what protocol that is, other than...just a plain TLS tunnel...?)

That would go a long way, especially together with autodetect, to SSH or RDP into nodes as required.

Thank you and kind regards!

The issue I see here is that there is no uniform interface, it would mean that every integration for a vpn would kinda have to do its own thing. At least to my understanding.

For SSH, you can already set a remote host as a gateway for other connections. And also do port-forwarding via tunnels in xpipe. Or what exactly are you looking for here?
