I would think it depends upon what you are trying to do with REBOL.  VPN 
should not pose a problem.  VPN decryption should have already occurred 
before you get the data.  HTTPS may not be a problem if you are trying 
to add support to a server as opposed to BEING a server.  If you are 
trying to be a HTTPS client with REBOL, that sound like more of a problem.
