    The next version, 13, has support for Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Edge Browser by means of a custom protocol scheme and app launcher. Apptunnels this way only work in Windows but VPN and Endpoint Checks work on all platforms. v13 is scheduled for first calendar quarter 2017. Betas are available now if you'd like to test the new feature.

     

    You can also use Java Apptunnels if you want to run an applet. This works on Mac, Linux, and Windows in all versions of APM.
