Campagnol VPN 0.3.4

Campagnol is a distributed IP-based VPN software able to open new connections through NATs or firewalls without any configuration. It uses UDP for the transport layer and utilizes tunneling and encryption (with DTLS) and the UDP hole punching NAT traversal technique. The established connections are P2P.<br /><br />Campagnol VPN currently supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Cygwin on 32 bits Windows. It is licensed under the GPLv3 license.<br /><br />Features<br /><br />UDP hole punching<br /> Campagnol makes use of the UDP hole punching technique to open new connections through NAT/firewall between two peers. You can find a complete description of this technique here.<br />Peer-to-peer communications<br /> The communications between the peers are direct and do not pass through a central node although the VPN uses an external rendezvous server to register the clients and for the UDP hole punching.<br />Transparency<br /> There is no need to adapt your softwares since the VPN appears like a normal network device.<br />Ease of deployment<br /> Once the rendezvous server is running, you don't have to do additional configurations. You can easily expand your network without modifying the existing configurations.<br />Security, authentication and authorization<br /> The use of the DTLS protocol allows to:<br /><br /> automatically exchange the keys between the machines when opening a new session (using certificates)<br /> ensure the authenticity of the keys and thereby authorize the peers<br /> revoke the certificates that are not authorized anymore (using a Certificate Revocation List)<br /><br />
