GVPE is a software that generates a virtual ethernet by forming secure host-to-host tunnels between several endpoints.
Unlike other virtual private "network" solutions that create a single tunnel, GVPE allows for the creation of a real network with multiple endpoints. It is a simple and robust software, with cipher selection done at compiletime, and easy to setup. All that is required is a single config file that is shared unmodified between all hosts.
One of the significant benefits of GVPE is that VPN hosts cannot sniff or fake packets. This means that businesses can use MAC-based filtering to ensure the authenticity of packets, even from member nodes. Additionally, GVPE supports several protocols, including raw IP, UDP, TCP, HTTPS-proxy-connect, ICMP, and DNS. This makes it versatile and able to tunnel into some VPN networks.
GVPE is primarily designed to sit on the gateway machines of company branches to connect them together. It can also be used for other purposes, such as creating secure connections between remote networks or connecting multiple remote endpoints securely. Overall, GVPE is an excellent solution for businesses looking for a reliable and easy-to-use virtual private ethernet software.
