**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. VpnCloud
establishes an encrypted fully-meshed VPN network in a peer-to-peer manner.
It can work on TUN devices (IP based) and TAP devices (Ethernet based).
Tunneling traffic between two nodes can be as easy as:
**VpnCloud** is a high performance peer-to-peer mesh VPN over UDP supporting strong encryption, NAT traversal and a simple configuration. It establishes a fully-meshed self-healing VPN network in a peer-to-peer manner with strong end-to-end encryption based on elliptic curve keys and AES-256. VpnCloud 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).
```sh
$> vpncloud -c REMOTE_HOST:PORT -p 'mypassword' --ip 10.0.0.1/24
```
or as config file:
```yaml
crypto:
password: mysecret
ip: 10.0.0.1
peers:
- REMOTE_HOST:PORT
```

This project is still [under development](CHANGELOG.md) but has reached a
somewhat stable state. VpnCloud features the following functionality:
* Setting up tunnels between two networks via Ethernet (TAP) and IP (TUN)
* Connecting multiple networks with multiple forwarding behaviors (Hub, Switch,
Router)
* Strong encryption using Curve25519 key pairs and AES methods
* Automatic peer-to-peer meshing, no central servers
* NAT and (limited) firewall traversal using hole punching
* Automatic reconnecting when connections are lost
* Non-native forwarding modes, e.g. IP based learning switch and prefix routed
Ethernet networks.
* Connecting hundreds of nodes with the VPN
* High throughput and low additional latency (see [performance page](https://vpncloud.ddswd.de/features/performance))
* Support for tunneled VLans (TAP device)
* Creating virtual network interfaces based on Ethernet (TAP) and IP (TUN)
* Strong end-to-end encryption using Curve25519 key pairs and AES methods
* Support for different forwarding/routing behaviors (Hub, Switch, Router)
* NAT and firewall traversal using hole punching
* Automatic port forwarding via UPnP
* Support for tunneled VLans (TAP devices)
* Support for publishing [beacons](https://vpncloud.ddswd.de/docs/beacons) to help nodes find each others
* Support for statsd monitoring
* Low memory footprint
* Single binary, no dependencies, no kernel module
