OnionCat is a VPN-adapter which allows to connect two or more computers or
|
|
networks through VPN-tunnels. It is designed to use the anonymization networks
|
|
Tor or I2P as its transport, hence, it provides location-based anonymity while
|
|
still creating tunnel end points with private unique IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
OnionCat uses IPv6 as native layer 3 network protocol. The clients
|
|
connected by it appear as on a single logical IPv6 network as being connected
|
|
by a virtual switch. OnionCat automatically calculates and assigns unique IPv6
|
|
addresses to the tunnel end points which are derived from the hidden service
|
|
ID (onion ID) of the hidden service of the local Tor client, or the local I2P
|
|
server destination, respectively. This technique provides authentication
|
|
between the onion ID and the layer 3 address, hence, defeats IP spoofing
|
|
within the OnionCat VPN.
|
|
|
|
If necessary, OnionCat can of course transport IPv4 as well. Although it has
|
|
native IP support, the suggested way to do this is to configure an
|
|
IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel.
