Dear Users,
The stable version of my VPN for stunnel/Linux
is ready for download here:
ftp://ftp.mirt.net/tappipe/
AFAIK it's the shortest (only 356 lines in C language)
and probably one of the easiest to setup VPNs ever.
Here is the ChangeLog entry:
* version 1.02 2006.03.03, status: functional, stable
- retransmission rate limiting algoritm improved
- some minor bugfixes
Could someone contribute a manual page? 8-)
Best regards,
Mike
Here is the ChangeLog entry:
* version 1.01 2006.02.04, status: functional, not proven to be stable
- TUN changed to TAP (project renamed from tunpipe to tappipe)
- TCP-over-TCP meltdown problem fixed
http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html
- important bugfixes

Dear Users,
For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel.
The early alpha version is ready for download here:
ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/
Advantages:
- based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol),
- very clean and lightweight design,
- very easy to configure.
Disadvantages:
- only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes),
- use of TCP is the main performance limitation.
Aternative solutions:

Suggestions and comments are welcome.
Best regards,
Mike
Hi,
I hope you don't mind this time I'll use stunnel mailing lists for
something personal.
I've just updated my Resume:

Do you know of interesting job openings?
Possibly as an architect or in a similar position.

semantics on SGI IRIX.

Dear Users,
Some people were asking me for a standalone stunnel.exe file.
It's located in stunnel-4.12/src directory of stunnel-4.12.tar.gz archive.
Winzip can handle .tar.gz format, so you'll be able to unpack it.
http://www.winzip.com/wzdifs.htm
BTW: I recommend to try the installer, anyway. It's designed to make the
upgrade much easier. You can simply enter the path where your current
stunnel.exe and stunnel.conf are located during the install.
stunnel.conf and stunnel.pem files won't be replaced and your Windows will
remember the path so you won't have to enter it on next upgrade.
Also the latest OpenSSL DLLs are installed in stunnel directory each time.
Notes:
1. Uninstall removes stunnel.conf, so don't uninstall if you're only going to
upgrade stunnel.
2. Remember to stop stunnel before you uninstall/upgrade it.
Best regards,
Mike
