Hi Renato,

You might want to check out http://apps.facebook.com/leaflobby/

"Leaf Develops Peer-to-Peer App for Facebook"
(http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2324639,00.asp)

It actully integrates in to the user's Facebook profile.

It is marketed a game lobby but really is just a VPN connection.

Best,
Jeff

Subject: [p2p-hackers] Announcing: P2P social VPN


Dear list members,

We have developed SocialVPN (socialvpn.org), a P2P virtual network that uses
social network infrastructures to seamlessly bootstrap VPN links between
social peers. 

The SocialVPN builds upon the open-source Brunet P2P library. We have
extended the IPOP (IP-over-P2P) virtual network, a structured P2P system
which features decentralized UDP hole punching, optimizations tailored to IP
tunneling, and support for multicast DNS (Bonjour/Avahi). A key novel aspect
of the SocialVPN is its ability to avoid conflicts between the VPN and a
host's existing IPv4 network by using private networks and dynamic address
translation, a technique described in the COPS workshop this year.

Our current implementation runs on Windows or Linux and uses the Facebook
API, and bootstraps with an overlay deployed on PlanetLab. We are planning
on implementations for other platforms and to support the OpenSocial API. If
you are interested in using this software or develop applications around it,
you can find documentation and downloads at http://socialvpn.org.

Regards,
--rf
