AlmostVPN for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Leaping Bytes:

AlmostVPN is an ssh tunnel manager for Mac OS X with a twist. This is what makes AlmostVPN different:

  • it packaged as Preference Panel, so you do not have to use yet another application to configure your tunnels
  • 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
  • ... use your remote printers and faxes
  • ... access you iTunes, iPhoto and almost any other Bonjour based application
  • ... upload/download/execute files (with support for console and X11 based applications)
  • ... use your favorite remote access application (VNC, ARD, RDC or just good old shell )
  • it is scriptable, so you can start/stop your profiles exactly when you need it
  • it can import tunnel definitions from SSH Tunnel Manager, SSHKeychain, SSH Agent and JellyfiSSH

What's new in this version: This is "Getting ready for release of Leopard" version.

What was Fixed

  • It works again with latest version of Leopard.
  • AlmostVPN used to break if path to user home contained " " (space).
Notes for Leopard
  • Due to the change in the way OS handles "StartupItems", it is necessary to re-boot system after you installed AlmostVPN.
