Internet Secure Tunneling | Han-soft

Han-soft - Internet Secure Tunneling - Forward otherwise insecure TCP traffic through an encrypted SSH tunnel. Internet Secure Tunneling can forward otherwise insecure TCP traffic through an encrypted SSH Secure Shell tunnel. You can secure for example DATABASE, POP3, SMTP, and HTTP connections that would otherwise be insecure. The tunneling capability of SSH Secure Shell is a feature that allows, i.e., company employees to access their email, company intraweb pages, and shared files securely even when working from home or on the road. Tunneling makes it possible to access email from any Internet service (whether via a modem, a DSL line, a cable connection, or a hotel Internet service). As long as the user has an IP connection to the Internet she can get her mail and access other resources from anywhere in the world securely. This often is not the case with more traditional IPSec-based VPN technologies because of issues with traversing networks implementing Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT breaks an IPSec connection unless special protocols such as NAT-Traversal are implemented on the client and gateway. The client-server applications using the tunnel will carry out their authentication procedures if any, the same way they would without the encrypted tunnel. The protocol/application might only be able to connect to a fixed port number ( e.g. IMAP 143). Otherwise, any available port can be chosen for port forwarding. Features 1. Create and manage multiple SSH tunnels. 2. SSH Version 1 and Version 2 are supported. 3. Hides in the system tray and does not require any desktop space. 4. System tray popup menu for easy access to main functions.
