Product Description:

AlmostVPN is an ssh tunnel manager for Mac OS X with a twist. This is what makes AlmostVPN different:

it packaged as Preference Panel, so you do not have to use yet another application to configure your tunnels
it uses creative network configuration techniques to provide almost VPN like access to remote services, so you can keep using real IP addresses and port numbers while accessing service on the other side of your tunnels.
it provides simple way to
... mount remote volumes
... use your remote printers and faxes
... access you iTunes, iPhoto and almost any other Bonjour based application
... upload/download/execute files (with support for console and X11 based applications)
... use your favorite remote access application (VNC, ARD, RDC or just good old shell )
it is scriptable, so you can start/stop your profiles exactly when you need it
it can import tunnel definitions from SSH Tunnel Manager, SSHKeychain, SSH Agent and JellyfiSSH

What's new in this version:

This is "Getting ready for release of Leopard" version.

What was Fixed

Too little documentation to use - Version: 1.6 pre, 11/21/2007 08:44AM PST

maurer

If you can figure out how to use this package with the negligible documentation provided, then you probably don't need to buy it because you will know enough to set up freeware equivalents or use Terminal. If you need even rudimentary instruction, then this is not likely to of use because it comes with virtually no instructions. The documentation is so minimal that it doesn't even explain the limitations of the demo mode.
