Important

I have stopped actively working on this project and have not updated it in a long time.

CefVPN Client

A Chromium Embedded Framework-Based VPN Client.

Cef/VPN Client?

CefVPN Client is an application that uses CEF and OpenVPN3 to provide a user-friendly and secure connection to protect yourself online. Unlike the official OpenVPN Connect client, CefVPN is completely open source with a more advanced UI. Best of all, it's the only VPN that will have built-in theming support.
