<h2>Super tunnel daemon</h2>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:phk@FreeBSD.org">&a.phk;</a></p>
<p>IP can be tunneled over IP, UDP, TCP, SSH, DNS, HTTP and many other
protocols, and this means that it is often possible to get a
connection out through a firewall, but each of these encapsulations
require prior setup of a specific program for each encapsulation, and
the user must experiment to decide which one to use at any one time.
The super tunnel daemon should implement pluggable encapsulations and
make it automatically select the most efficient encapsulation that
works at any one time. The user should not notice transitions from one
encapsulation to another, apart from maybe a small delay.</p>
<p>Wanted features (not sorted or prioritized):</p>
<ul>
<li>Autodetection of the environment (DHCP, DNS, routing, ...) in a
non-offensive way (no global portscans allowed; asking via DHCP,
zeroconf or similar technologies is ok) as far as possible.</li>
<li>Plugin architecture for easy addition of further encapsulations.</li>
<li>Failover from one encapsulation to another.</li>
<li>Distinct configuration files for encapsulations which need to be
configured (e.g. proxy, authentication, ...).</li>
<li>Possibility to disable installed encapsulations.</li>
<li>Print/log hints for protocols which require some configuration,
e.g. telling the user to use keys and perhaps the ssh-agent for ssh.</li>
<li>Configurable additional plugin directories (for plugins installed
via the ports collection).</li>
<li>Log how it is able to tunnel the traffic (this also makes it useful
for finding unwanted holes in the configuration of a firewall).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good knowledge of C.</li>
<li>Good knowledge about networks.</li>

to remove sysinstall when the new installer enters the tree without loosing
nice functionality. Additionally novice users cannot shoot themselves in the
foot by accidentally triggering the wrong actions in unrelated parts of
sysinstall. &a.netchild; has some working code.</p>
sysinstall. &a.netchild; has some working code which will (most likely) be
committed after 6.1 is released. The code is nearly finished, so no more help
is needed at the moment.</p>
