  Description     : afserver: Active port forwarder client and server

Active port forwarder uses SSL for secure packet tunneling. It is designed
for people without an external IP who want to make some services available
on the Internet.afserver is placed on the machine with a publicly accessible
address, and afclient is placed on the machine behind a firewall or
masquerade. This makes the second machine visible to the Internet. Running
afserver does not require root priviledges, nor does it use threads or other
processes.

There are other WNPP candidates at
http://www.gray-world.net/ where it reads:

"At present, we've developed some projects that allow to establish Covert
Channels inside TCP (HTTP, HTTPS, MSN) and UDP protocols : Active Port
Forwarder - SSL secure packet tunneling; CCTT - arbitrary TCP and UDP data
transfers through TCP,UDP and HTTP POST messages; Firepass - arbitrary TCP
and UDP data transfers through HTTP POST messages; MsnShell - remote Linux
shell through the MSN protocol; Wsh - remote Unix/Win shell through HTTP and
HTTPS protocols."
