    From the GitHub community, nyxnor did an amazing work to rewrite the support of bridges with pluggable transports (OBFS4, MEEK-AZURE and SNOWFLAKE) to make it easier than ever to circumvent censorship. Also, we experimentally added „Shellinabox“ so that user, who are not familiar with SSH can also access the TorBox Main menu with a web browser. However, we are not completely satisfied with that solution yet because browsers are showing warning messages with the self-signed certificate for a secure connection. We are eager to hear your feedback on “Shellinabox”. Do you know better alternatives? For more details about the latest TorBox Version, check out our Blog Post.

    It looks like Telehack is running a Javascript + CSS kit called ShellInABox to allow web browsers to connect via Telnet. The link they provided in the "about" leads to a malfunctioning webpage, looks to be last updated in 2010. However, that project was forked on GitHub, and the most recent update appears to be Jan 2019, so there is a likely-working copy of that software for allowing for that kind of access.
