Zebedee:
Secure IP tunnel
Stable Version: 2.4.1 (2002/05/29)
Development Version: 2.5.2 (2003/09/23)
Java and Ruby versions also available. See the
download
page.
Zebedee
is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed "tunnel" for
TCP/IP or
UDP data transfer between two systems. This allows traffic such as
telnet, ftp and X
to be protected from snooping as well as potentially gaining performance
over low-bandwidth
networks from compression.
The main goals for
Zebedee are to:
Provide full client and server functionality under both UNIX/Linux and Windows.
Be easy to install, use and maintain with little or no configuration required.
Have a small footprint, low wire protocol overhead and give significant
traffic reduction
by the use of compression.
Use only algorithms that are either unpatented or for which the patent has
expired.
Be entirely free for commercial or non-commercial use and distributed under
the term
of the GNU General Public Licence.
Of course,
Zebedee
is by no means the first, or only secure tunnel program available. It
does not pretend
to compete with the likes of
ssh
,
SSL
or
FreeS/WAN
in terms of breadth of function but if you want something quick, simple and
completely free
then it may be the tool for you.
I am fortunate enough work for a company,
Internet Designers
, that actively encourages its people to do interesting technical work and
reward
them for acquiring new skills. Sorry, we're not recruiting at the moment,
but you
might like to check out our company if you need high quality consultancy
services
in the UK, particularly in the telecoms sector.

RE your wonder : I Would ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!
