* VTun *
Features

General

VTun is the easiest way to create Virtual Tunnels over TCP/IP networks. It support various tunnel types and provides many useful features:
- Encryption
- Compression
- Traffic shaping

VTun is easily and highly configurable. It can be used for various network tasks:
- VPN
- Mobile IP
- etc



Tunnel Types

  • IP tunnel (tun).
    Supports point-to-point IP tunnel.
  • Ethernet tunnel (ether).
    Supports all protocols that work over Ethernet: IP,IPX,Appletalk,Bridge,...
  • Serial tunnel (tty).
    Supports all protocols that work over serial lines: PPP,SLIP,...
  • Pipe tunnel (pipe).
    Supports all programs that works over Unix pipes.



Protocols
  • VTun protocol over TCP.
    Allows to establish tunnels behind firewalls. Very reliable.
  • VTun protocol over UDP.
    Fast and efficient protocol with small tunneling overhead.

Compression
  • Deflate (zlib).
    Very efficient compression. Supported for TCP only.
  • LZO (lzo).
    Super fast compression. Supported for UDP and TCP.


Encryption
  • Challenge based authentication.
    No clear text passwords.
  • BlowFish 128 bits key.
    Fast efficient encryption with 128 bits MD5 hash keys.


Traffic Shaping
  • Platform Independent Traffic Shaper.
    Allows to limit inbound and outbound speed of the tunnels.


Platforms
  • Linux.
    RedHat, Debian, Corel, etc.
  • FreeBSD and other BSD clones.
    FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, OpenBSD, Apple OS/X etc.
  • Solaris.
    Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, 9
