Just a quick comment - is this designed for only L3 traffic? It is likel that TUNEPIPE encapsulates TUN traffic in TCP and carry to the otehr end through SSL.
If it is a case, can you think about TAP device to be supported as well? I see a lot of demand to carry "Ethernet traffic" over IP rather than L3 traffic. (OpenVPN also supports both)

Dear Users,
For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel.
The early alpha version is ready for download here: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/
Advantages:
- based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol),
- very clean and lightweight design,
- very easy to configure.
Disadvantages:
- only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes),
- use of TCP is the main performance limitation.
Aternative solutions: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/vpn.html
Suggestions and comments are welcome.
Best regards, Mike
