OnionCat - An Anonymous VPN-Adapter (P2P layer 3 VPN based on Tor or I2P)
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.
