There is no "freeNX applet" : freeNX is a free implementation of NX server.

There are two projects for NX client applet :

1) NX Web Companion Beta

This is the nomachine's project. I never tested it so I can't tell you 
about it.

2) applet for Univ-RX project

http://univ-rx.u-strasbg.fr/applet-univrx/

We (University of Strasbourg 1 - france) started our own project in 
2003. At this time, nomachine told us that the web applet wasn't a 
priority so we have done it by ourself.

Now, Univ-RX is in production at Strasbourg (available for 3 
universities and almost 40,000 users) and the Univ-RX applet is one of 
the way to connect on it. So it will be maintained and features will be 
added soon :

- filesharing between client and server (using scp)
- rootless mode

Univ-RX applet does not require NX server, it only uses NX compression 
components and ssh, it is tested under linux and windows (not macOS 
yet). Other universities are now testing it for there own use.
