As announced some months ago, we have resumed the development of n2n, a peer-to-peer VPN we developed some year ago to ease the access to remote ntop installations behind firewalls, that then evolved into a full fledge application. After having put on hold the project for some years fur to lack of time and new priorities, months ago we have decided to resume developments and start developing it again. We have realised that many people started to fork and code on n2n, and thus a part of our work is …

Suppose that you are travelling abroad and you need to access some Internet sites that are not available abroad. Or suppose that you want to evade the restrictions of your ISP, of the hotel room where you are currently staying, or the WiFi hotspot you are using for connecting to the Internet. The simplest thing to do is to open a VPN and you’re done. However VPNs are not very flexible and they require a single place where everybody meet and great. n2n instead is based on the peer-to-peer paradigm …

Hi all, it is finally time to restart development activities in n2n whose code is available at https://github.com/ntop/n2n. The advent of the cloud, privacy concerns on the Internet, mobile users now producing a large amount of Internet traffic, require a secure network overlay such as n2n to build upon. Initially designed to solve our connectivity issues created by NATs, we believe it is now time to refresh it and serve modern user needs. The first activity we would like to do is to merge back in the n2n repository all …

Although we currently have no time to further develop n2n (we have put the project on hold until we have time to work at it again), this tool is still widely used. This article (courtesy of Stuart Buckell) shows how to use n2n to enable broadcast and multicast support on Amazon (AWS) EC2, which is required for certain enterprise applications and protocols. Enjoy! …
