We are pleased to announce the beta availability of the Barracuda HTTPS tunnel.
Instructions for how to download and install the tunnel can be found at: http://barracudaserver.com/examples/BarracudaDrive/HttpsTunnel/
Regards,
Wilfred Nilsen
The Barracuda HTTPS tunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. The HTTPS tunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, etc., by having the HTTPS tunnel provide the encryption. The HTTPS tunnel can also be used, for example, to tunnel traffic out from behind a restrictive firewall/proxy that only allows outgoing HTTPS web connections.
The client is a Java program that can either be downloaded and started from the command prompt or started using Java Web Start.
The server is BarracudaDrive. http://barracudaserver.com/examples/BarracudaDrive/
We will make the beta program (the server and client) available if anyone is interested in testing the tool and give us feedback. We are specifically interested in beta testers that are behind a restrictive company proxy.
