UFTP
Encrypted UDP based FTP with multicast
UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers. -

nebula
Overlay networking tool with a focus on performance and simplicity
Nebula is a scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security. It lets you seamlessly connect computers anywhere in the world. Nebula is portable, and runs on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS, and Android. It can be used to connect a small number of computers, but is also able to connect tens of thousands of computers. Nebula incorporates a number of existing concepts like encryption, security groups, certificates, and tunneling, and each of those individual pieces existed before Nebula in various forms. What makes Nebula different to existing offerings is that it brings all of these ideas together, resulting in a sum that is greater than its individual parts. Nebula is a mutually authenticated peer-to-peer software defined network based on the Noise Protocol Framework. Nebula uses certificates to assert a node's IP address, name, and membership within user-defined groups. -

FancySS
fancyss is a project for bypassing the Great Firewall (GFW)
Fancyss is a “scientific Internet access / bypassing censorship” toolkit targeted principally to Asus routers running AsusWRT or Merlin-based firmware. The project provides a plugin suite (with “software center” integration) so that home routers can run proxy or tunneling tools (e.g. V2Ray) to circumvent firewall or censorship (“GFW” in the Chinese context). Because it integrates into the router’s firmware environment, fancyss automates configuration, routing, and firewall rules to minimize manual tinkering. It supports multiple architectures and firmware versions, though some submodules or variants (e.g. “fancyss_hnd”) are optimized for specific chipsets. The project also maintains offline packages for constrained environments and hardware support lists. Many users adopt fancyss to turn relatively cheap consumer routers into censorship-resilient gateways, avoiding separate proxy appliances. -

Nipe
An engine to make Tor network your default gateway
Nipe is a Perl-based engine whose primary aim is to make the Tor network act as the default gateway for outgoing traffic. In practice, it configures system firewall rules (iptables) and network routing so that almost all IPv4 traffic is redirected through Tor. The tool provides commands such as install, start, stop, restart, and status to manage its behavior. When “start” is issued, it sets up the necessary rules; when “stop” is used, it attempts to remove those rules. Nipe currently operates over IPv4 and does not yet support IPv6, meaning that users with IPv6 connectivity may bypass Tor routing. It includes a Dockerfile to facilitate containerized usage, requiring sufficient network capabilities (e.g. NET_ADMIN) inside the container. Behind the scenes, the code is modular: for instance, parts of the logic around installation and utility functions are separated into Perl modules (e.g. in lib/Nipe/Utils/Install.pm). -

Handy TCP/IP Server/Client Tools
Various TCP/IP servers, clients and network management tools
IPtools is an all in one package that includes various TCP/IP tools. Server: - FTP - TFTP - Syslog - Web - Remote Command - General UDP server - Multicast server Client utilities: - Multicast client - TFTP client Starting on version 0.2.0, a powerful network connection tools UBridge is added, it can bridge: - VXLAN (newly released) - UDP sessions - NIC card of the PC - Connections to Cisco Router Simulator "GNS3/dynamips" and H3C Router Simulator (LITO/CEN). UBridge can also be used as a Ethernet over UDP tunnel to remote bridge PC's local NIC, VXLAN, UDP proxy etc. Visit the Wiki page for detail. GUI tools include a network monitoring tool PMON, a SNMP and IP scanner. The project aim is to make them as light weight tools that can be directly executed in command prompt without the need of installation. (Except pmon and UBridge to bridge PC's NIC which require Winpcap). The whole package can be put into USB flash and 伴侶highly portable. -
