- Description:
- OnionCat is a VPN-adapter which allows to connect two or more computers or
networks through VPN-tunnels. It is designed to use the anonymization networks
Tor or I2P as its transport, hence, it provides location-based anonymity while
still creating tunnel end points with private unique IP addresses.
OnionCat uses IPv6 as native layer 3 network protocol. The clients
connected by it appear as on a single logical IPv6 network as being connected
by a virtual switch. OnionCat automatically calculates and assigns unique IPv6
addresses to the tunnel end points which are derived from the hidden service
ID (onion ID) of the hidden service of the local Tor client, or the local I2P
server destination, respectively. This technique provides authentication
between the onion ID and the layer 3 address, hence, defeats IP spoofing
within the OnionCat VPN.
If necessary, OnionCat can of course transport IPv4 as well. Although it has
native IP support, the suggested way to do this is to configure an
IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other. |

OnionCat creates a transparent IP layer on top of Tor's hidden services.
It transmits any kind of IP-based data transparently through the Tor
network on a location hidden basis.
You can think of it as a point-to-multipoint VPN between hidden services.
OnionCat is based on anonymizing transport layers like Tor.
