Yes, while we were looking for information for our extension we found your web site, but as we were about to finish it, we decided to continue doing it. Each job, yours and our, have interesting features, that the other one doesn't have. It would be good to unify them and obtain something more robust. It would be also fantastic that the extension someday (of course there is much to debug) could be included in Iptables core. I think the idea of encryption using Iptables is really great! > > http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/seppl/ > > Lennart >
