This will sound a bit strange, but I am looking for a(n) (open source?) program that I saw in a Google search some time ago. I cannot remember, for the life of me, what the site was.

The program does site to site tunneling using various protocols.

It has a client server architecture and allows daisy chaining. It is written/maintained by an Asian author (told you, strange, but that's what I remember about the product!)

It is (I think) open source, and you can download and build the components yourself.

Now, I cannot find this site/program, but am trying to see if anyone else has seen/used it and can post the link to it.

UPDATE (can't post answer in less than 8 hours, so editing the question): By some bizzare luck, I came across the site I was looking for!

The program is called "DeleGate" and can be found at http://www.delegate.org/delegate/. It is a pretty impressive piece of software written by Yutaka Sato.

Many open source projects have multiple contributors, often from many different countries throughout the world. Sometimes various people are given credit for doing more (or less) than they actually did, which can add further confusion as well.

For site-to-site tunneling, there are a variety of solutions -- I'm not sure which one you're referring to in particular, but the one that I really like is OpenVPN:

  OpenVPN (free and open source)
  http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/overview.html

This solution supports multiple platforms, and it uses UDP (default) or TCP for making its connections (which has many advantages over IPsec such as avoiding certain complications with firewall configurations).

OpenVPN is highly configurable, secure, reliable, incurs low overhead, and has great documentation. I have it set up for many sites, most of which are businesses who depend on it daily. (I also know a few people who depend on OpenVPN for casual personal use.)

(If you need to support it on Apple's MacOS, follow this link to a port of OpenVPN called TunnelBlick: http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/)

My favorite two tunneling tools are the UN-managed version of Hamachi and Bitwise SSHD.
