Looks like OpenVPN with Tools and an API of further Expansion.
Might be Interesting.

I was worried it was based off Java as it supported so many platforms, but it's C++. Very cool prog.

It uses open source PGP, GPG, and that was so effective that the US government tried to criminalize its author.

The expected feature list is also promising.

I also liked the multi-platform support :)
I am going to install it and give it a whirl later one between my servers and post a run down on my test.

Cryptocat:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocat

Cryptocat is an open source web application intended to allow secure, encrypted online chatting. Cryptocat encrypts chats on the client side, only trusting the server with data that is already encrypted. Cryptocat is served via HTTPS, while also offering a Google Chrome application that loads code locally.[1] Cryptocat intends to provide means for impromptu, encrypted communications that offer more privacy than services such as Google Talk, while maintaining a higher level of accessibility than other high-level encryption platforms.


Can also be combined with Tor. It also has clients for your cellphone.

Available from the app store for Google Chrome. I have it installed. Anybody wanna try?


People are combining it with Raspberry Pi for countries with free speech problems:
