Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed
"tunnel" for TCP/IP or UDP data transfer between two systems.  This
allows traffic such as telnet, ftp and X to be protected from snooping
as well as potentially gaining performance over low-bandwidth networks
from compression.
Importing zebedee 2.2.2. Quoting from README.txt is here. 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. 2001-06-24 07:48:51 +02:00			`Zebedee is a simple program to establish an encrypted, compressed`
