[stunnel-announce] tunpipe

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,
