Zebedee Secure Tunnel
=====================
Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed
"tunnel" for TCP/IP or UDP traffic between two systems. This
allows data from, for example, telnet, ftp and X sessions to be
protected from snooping. You can also use compression, either
with or without data encryption, to gain performance over
low-bandwidth networks.
The main goals for Zebedee are to:
* Provide client and server functionality under both UNIX
and Windows 95/98/NT.
* Be easy to install, use and maintain with little or no
configuration required.
* Have a small footprint, low wire protocol overhead and
give significant traffic reduction by the use of
compression.
* Use only algorithms that are either unpatented or for
which the patent has expired.
* Be entirely free for commercial or non-commercial use and
distributed under the term of the GNU General Public
Licence (see LICENCE.txt for details).
For further information on how to use Zebedee see the file
zebedee.html in the distribution (or the manual page for
zebedee(1) under UNIX -- it is basically the same text). Example
configuration files are also provided.
