How many of those wordpress, joomla, drupal blogs, web2.0 products of various sort and other websites do you go to that are encrypted using SSL(https)? How many times a day to you enter your credentials, or use cookie based (the ‘remember me’ checkbox type) authentication on websites a day? Do you find yourself in coffee shops, or other public wifi frequently and sometimes wonder who is watching your traffic?
I know I do. Up until now I’ve been using SSH tunnels to get my traffic back home where I know nobody is running a packetsniffer. The trouble with SSH tunnels though is that they’re fickle, and often drop. I wanted a better solution – so I made one.
