Hello, Net/vtun was removed june. 30th due to no upstream maintenance since 2016. I have been thinking about this for a while (probably because I haven't learned how to set up some kind of ipsec+magic), but now finally I created a fork, migrated the source code to rust, and I plan on maintaining it. Not really any big ambitions for the project. Over time improve the challenge+sesponse authentication to defend against man-in-the-middle, particulary impersonating the server, which vtun has never had a protection against. New crypto algorithms at some point. But at the moment remain backwards compatible with the last release of vtun. So if there are any interest for a replacement I can also take maintainership if needed. The project is at github: https://github.com/leakingmemory/vtun-ng I do have port files available in my overlay for my own poudriere build server if needed. Regards, Jan-Espen Oversand
