Have a look at /usr/ports/net/vtun. It allows you to create tunnels over virtually any transport you can find including TCP and UDP (but also raw IP, serial lines, ssh tunnels ...). Tunnel endpoints are tunN devices. It has built in encryption (openssl) en compression (lzo, zlib and even a traffic shaper. > regards, > M.
