HTTPS Proxy to provide secure access to LAN pages?


I have a bunch of machines which have HTTP-based web configuration - router, backup machines, printers, and some home-brew web GUIs. They're all running bare HTTP with plain or no auth, as they were intended just for use on my personal LAN.

Unfortunately, I'm now living away from "home", and am getting sick of using lynx via SSH to get to them.

Essentially, I'm looking for some type of proxy that supports SSL and strong authentication (maybe just strong encrypted passwords, probably not client certificates) so that I could have a WAN-accessible secure "portal" which would provide access to all of the internal stuff.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

I've been having issues with setting up a VPN, and I'd like something that's accessible from anywhere, so that might not be the best solution.

Thanks,
Jason

You could use Apache with mod_rewrite as a SSL frontend for your non-SSL apps.
