> enum VpnType {
>   "PPTP",
>   "L2TP-IPSEC-PSK",
>   "L2TP-IPSEC-RSA",
>   "IPSEC-XAUTH-PSK",
>   "IPSEC-XAUTH-RSA",
>   "IPSEC-HYBRID-PSK"
> };
> 
> dictionary MozVpnConfig {
>   VpnType type;
>   DOMString server;
>   DOMString username;
>   DOMString password;
>   DOMString? l2tpSecret;
>   DOMString? ipsecPskIdentitier;
>   DOMString? ipsecPskSecret;
>   DOMString? ipsecRsaCaCert;
>   DOMString? ipsecRsaServerCert;
>   DOMString? ipsecRsaUserCert;
> };
> 
> interface MozVpnManager {
>   DOMRequest startVpn(MozVpnConfig config);
>   DOMRequest stopVpn();
> 
>   attribute EventHandler onstatuschange;
> };
