Found a VPN software from a university which has instructions for Pale Moon users

Post by jobbautista9 » 2025-05-26, 08:48

I randomly searched for university VPNs, and I somehow came across this knowledge base article from Brown University after some curious clicking: https://ithelp.brown.edu/kb/articles/install-vpn

It probably has to be NPAPI plugin, since it is for Pale Moon users specifically after all, and I'm not sure if extensions have the capability... I wonder why they would opt for their own client though (whether it's a webpage, plugin, or installed application) instead of using a standard protocol like IKEv2 or L2TP/IPsec which should not require any VPN client at all. :think:

We probably should redirect the https://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ page to the current download page at https://www.palemoon.org/download.shtml though. The linux subdomain is outdated...

Only students or staff of that university can access it apparently.

Done.

And yeah the linux subdomain needs to be removed. It's outdated front to back.
