Release History Introduction ------------ What is TunnelIt? TunnelIt is used to establish a secure SSH tunnel for various TCPIP protocols, such as HTTP, IMAP, SMTP, NetBIOS, etc. SSH is an open source protocol that allows encrypted connections between a client and a server. SSH has many levels of functionality, and what we utilize in this software is the SSH Tunnel. The tunnel allows encrypted, secure communications between the remote client and the SSH server, which will have a single open port exposed to the Internet. The SSH server will then connect to the internal host through the local network. Responses will flow back through the tunnel to the client. Versions Available ------------------ TunnelIt Trial Version The TunnelIt demonstration version contains nearly the full functionality of the Pro client. It’s only limitations are that it will only function 15 days before the program becomes disabled. The Trial Version is available for free download from http://www.agile-software-development.com. TunnelIt Pro TunnelIt Pro offers full functionality, with no limitations. The same registration key will always unlock future versions.
