Free https tunnels software for linux

HTTunnel is a universal HTTP tunnel using Apache, mod_perl and Perl.

To install this module do the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Note 1: The test suite will require the URL to an Apache::HTTunnel server to run. You will prompted for it during the installation. This server must allow tunnels to localhost:80. That Apache server must also return an HTTP 200 code for a "GET / HTTP/1.0" request.
Generally if the server has index.html file in the document root it will be ok.

Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies. At first glance, this might seem like a rather useless thing to do, but it can actually come in your help in some cases.
Setting: Youre on the go, and stumble across an open wireless network. The network gives you an IP address, but wont let you send TCP or UDP packets out to the rest of the internet, for instance to check your mail. What to do? By chance, you discover that the network will allow you to ping any computer on the rest of the internet. With ptunnel, you can utilize this feature to check your mail, or do other things that require TCP.
Main features:
- Tunnel TCP using ICMP echo request and reply packets
- Connections are reliable (lost packets are resent as necessary)
- Handles multiple connections
- Acceptable bandwidth (150 kb/s downstream and about 50 kb/s upstream are the currently measured maximas for one tunnel, but with tweaking this can be improved further)
- Authentication, to prevent just anyone from using your proxy

StdioTunnel project allows you to tunnel arbitrary TCP connections through any shell access connection.

If the connection provides a clear 8-bit data path and allows you to start programs, you can use it with StdioTunnel.

It tunnels TCP connections in much the same way SSH does, but is useful in particular cases where SSH port forwarding is disabled, and it does not require running or changing the configuration of any server processes on either side of the connection.

Once StdioTunnel handshakes, the connection you used to initiate it is no longer available. The local StdioTunnel process will ignore further input. The connection is shut down when you kill the StdioTunnel process at either end.

All that is required for StdioTunnel to make a connection is that the standard input and output of the remote side appear to be connected through an 8-bit clear channel to the standard input and output of the process started by the local side. ssh with the -e none option to turn off the escape character works quite nicely as the connecting process.

Please note that using ANY software, StdioTunnel included, to work-around firewall restrictions may make systems on either side of the firewall more vulnerable to any number of attacks. StdioTunnel may have bugs that make such vulnerabilities even worse. The user takes sole responsibility for any adverse consequences of using this software.

TunnelVision creates an encrypted VirtualPrivateNetwork, or VPN, between two Tunnel Vision-capable sites on the Internet.
TunnelVision creates an encrypted VirtualPrivateNetwork?, or VPN, between two Tunnel Vision-capable sites on the Internet. Realistically, that means sites with a Linux server running TunnelVision or with a WorldvisionsWeaver? or NetIntegrator acting as their Internet gateway.
TunnelVision requires a Linux 2.2.x kernel or later for running properly. Were sorry about that, but we wanted to use the new features.
Enhancements:
- Also known as 0.70pre2.
- Lots of underlying library changes as WvStreams v2 was debugged.
- A new way of handling strings and lists makes things prettier.
- Several bug fixes resulting from the use of our new stresstest program.
- Connections regenerate themselves after the 10-minute idle timeout.
- All known bugs have been eliminated.

ssh tunnel on demand provides a script that creates an SSH tunnel on demand.

ssh tunnel on demand is a script that makes it possible for a user to create an SSH tunnel to a server and connect to it without needing an account on the box or any experience with SSH.

It was written for users that wanted to connect to Usermin at a remote site. Users enter information into a Web form and the server then connects an SSH tunnel to the remote Usermin server and redirects the browser through the tunnel.

JSecureTunneling provides a Java SSH client for tunnels management.

SecureTunneling is a Java SSH client that is entirely oriented toward the management of SSH tunnels, offering the ability to establish secure and permanent tunnels to a remote SSH server transparently, just like a simple network connection.

The key features are: auto-reconnection, connection monitoring, connection triggers, tunneling changes on-the-fly, and profile management.

HTTPManifold is an application for tunnelling Web/HTTP traffic for multiple servers through a single IP address (a reverse proxy). HTTPManifold is intended for home users and small businesses so that they can host multiple domains and sub-domains through a single IP address on port 80.
HTTPManifold forwards traffic to other machines, logs requests, and rewrites content during the process. It can also log the raw content of requests for the purpose of debugging Web services, etc. It provides a Web interface for configuration and log viewing with some log analysis capabilities.
Main features:
- Ability to service HTTP request on any port.
- Allow SSL connections and therefore provide HTTPS to server that otherwise dont support it.
- Forward HTTP requests to any IP address on any port using HTTP or HTTPS.
- Rewrite HTTP headers and body during forward translation.
- Log raw HTTP request and response bytes for debugging purposes.
- Serve static HTML pages.
- Provide web interface to HTTPManifold configuration options.
Enhancements:
- This release adds the ability to forward requests to a sub-path on a destination server.
- It adds options to do simple string replacement when processing response content.
- The appearance of the Web interface has been updated.
- HSQLDB support has been added for enhanced request logging.
- X-forwarded-for header support has been added so that destination servers can see the source IP address.
- Some of the forwarding implementation has been touched up to improve performance and fix small defects.
