AlmostVPN is an ssh tunnel manager for Mac OS X with a twist. This is what makes AlmostVPN different:
- it is packaged as Preference Panel, so you do not have to use yet another application to configure your tunnels
- it employs launchd to control tunnels, so you do not have to have yet another application running while tunneling
- 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 via SSH tunnel
- it can import tunnel definitions from SSH Tunnel Manager and SSHKeychain applications
