Free and open-source software portal; OpenConnect is a free and open-source cross-platform multi-protocol virtual private network (VPN) client software which implement secure point-to-point connections. The OpenConnect client supports the following VPN protocols: Cisco AnyConnect; Juniper Secure Connect (since 7.05) [3]
Virtual private network (VPN) is a network architecture for virtually extending a private network (i.e. any computer network which is not the public Internet) across one or multiple other networks which are either untrusted (as they are not controlled by the entity aiming to implement the VPN) or need to be isolated (thus making the lower network invisible or not directly usable).
Outline is free and open-source, licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and was audited by Radically Open Security and claims [7] [8] not to log users' web traffic. The Outline Server supports unattended upgrades. Outline is not a true VPN solution but rather a Shadowsocks-based proxy. The two technologies are similar in the way they can be ...
WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs). [5] It aims to be lighter and better performing than IPsec and OpenVPN , two common tunneling protocols . [ 6 ]
iproute2 is a collection of userspace utilities for controlling and monitoring various aspects of networking in the Linux kernel, including routing, network interfaces, tunnels, traffic control, and network-related device drivers.
Though both are for tunneling purposes, TUN and TAP cannot be used together because they transmit and receive packets at different layers of the network stack. TUN, namely network TUNnel, simulates a network layer device and operates in layer 3 carrying IP packets.
Mullvad was launched in March of 2009 by Amagicom AB, [6] and it had begun by supporting connections via the OpenVPN protocol in 2009. [7] Mullvad was an early adopter and supporter of the WireGuard protocol, announcing the availability of the new VPN protocol in March 2017 [8] and making a "generous donation" supporting WireGuard development between July and December 2017.
In computer networks, a tunneling protocol is a communication protocol which allows for the movement of data from one network to another. They can, for example, allow private network communications to be sent across a public network (such as the Internet), or for one network protocol to be carried over an incompatible network, through a process called encapsulation.
