+**VpnCloud** is a simple VPN over UDP. It creates a virtual network interface on
+the host and forwards all received data via UDP to the destination. It can work
+on TUN devices (IP based) and TAP devices (Ethernet based). Tunneling traffic
+between two nodes can be as easy as:
+
+```
+vpncloud -c REMOTE_HOST:PORT --ifup 'ifconfig $IFNAME 10.0.0.1/24 mtu 1400 up'
+```
+
+More details can be found in [the manpage](vpncloud.md).
