[Project]

CIPE 1.6.0 (Default)

Section: Unix

Added: Mon, Oct 5th 1998 19:59 UTC (10 years, 3 months ago)

Updated: Wed, Aug 4th 2004 13:19 UTC (4 years, 5 months ago)

About:
CIPE (Crypto IP Encapsulation) is an ongoing project to build encrypting IP routers. The protocol used is as lightweight as possible. It is designed for passing encrypted packets between prearranged routers in the form of UDP packets. This is not as flexible as IPSEC but it is enough for the original intended purpose: securely connecting subnets over an insecure transit network.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This version runs under Linux 2.6 (as well as earlier versions). It can use the kernel crypto API and its cipher algorithms (with Linux 2.6 or 2.4.23+).

[»] Highly Recommended!

For my tunneling purposes, crypto is a must, though it doesn't have to be very strong. I was previously using ppp over ssh (And I still do, for non-linux machines), but for linux<->linux tunneling, this thing really rocks! And btw, the newest ver (check homepage) compiles as a module :)

[»] Vtun as an alternative !

If you don't like to patch and recompile your kernel, consider vtun as an alternative. Just compile and load the universal TUN/TAP driver and off you go... (udp/tcp)
