Bug#626380: ITP: onioncat -- IP-Transparent Tor Hidden Service Connector
Package: wnpp
Owner: intrigeri+debian@boum.org
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : onioncat
Version : 0.2.2

Description : IP-Transparent Tor Hidden Service Connector
OnionCat creates a transparent IP layer on top of Tor's hidden services. It
transmits any kind of IP-based data transparently through the Tor network on a
location hidden basis. You can think of it as a point-to-multipoint VPN between
hidden services.
OnionCat is a stand-alone application which runs in userland and is a connector
between Tor and the local OS. Any protocol which is based on IP can be
transmitted. Of course, UDP and TCP (and probably ICMP) are the most important
ones but all other protocols can also be forwarded through it. OnionCat is
based on IPv6 but the since version 0.1.9 also IPv4 packets are forwarded. In
any case the local OS must support IPv6. See OnionCat and IPv4 for
configuration of IPv4 transport. OnionCat now also supports TAP devices for
bridging virtual machines and it supports IPv6 routing.
I am in the process of updating and cleaning up the packaging debian/
directory shipped in upstream SVN, aiming at putting the package in
good shape so that it can be uploaded into the Debian archive.
I intend to maintain this package in collab-maint to start with.
Bye,
