Description-en: Peer-to-peer virtual private network daemon
Freelan is an application to create secure ethernet tunnels over a
single UDP port. It can be used to create virtual LANs ("Local
Area Network"), hence the name: "freelan".
.
Freelan may create peer-to-peer tunnel connections or rely on a
more classic client/server layout. The virtual network can be
shaped to fit exactly the bandwidth or topology constraints,
providing an optimal virtual private network.
.
Freelan is particularly useful for remote sites interconnection and
gaming.
