Description

OnionCat is a Tor-based decentralized peer-to-peer VPN. It acts like a single IPv6 subnet hidden inside Tor permitting a hidden service to be transformed into an IPv6 address on the subnet. In BSD land this shows up as a tun(4) device. One can do udp (dns, nfs, etc) or tcp or even IPSec between OnionCat instances (and only between OnionCat instances; not out to the clearnet).

I must also add that the software seems to be in active development since years, and that it nowadays supports I2P in addition to Tor.

Why I am making the suggestion

An open-source VPN through Tor or I2P can be very useful to increase the level of anonymity with virtually any app.

My connection with the software

None.

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.
