UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers.

PortFusion is a minimalistic, cross-platform, transport-layer distributed reverse / forward proxy for TCP written in Haskell + LLVM and released under GPLv3. A single package that makes the most of each platform by tapping into their unique capabilities, combining this power with an intuitive interface, beautiful design and Haskell's excellent support for unprecedented levels of concurrency and parallelism. It strives for the smallest source code size (< 500 lines) while delivering maximum throughput with near zero overhead.

Enable servers behind a firewall to export services to the external networks with the assistance from an externel host as proxy (Jumppoint). The firewall tunnel consists of two parts: a frontend as "Jumppoint" and a backend running behind the firewall

OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application that uses all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks over a single TCP/UDP port. Discussion forums and project wiki can be found here: https://forums.openvpn.net/ http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn

proxyTunnelGUI 1.0 is quite simply faster, more stable, boost faster for HTTP/S tunneling using proxyTunnel, Tunnelier and Proxifier. * Small memory usage

pppit allows one to tunnel through a firewall which only allows proxy telnet, such as SWAN. It is a modified, special-purpose ppp daemon.

sshh allows you to make a persistent tcp connection (tunnel) over an http proxy. Once you have it set up, you can make new connections from either end. Similar in concept to httptunnel but more versatile and scalable.

xmelee is an xbox peer-to-peer tunneling program. It enables lan games (system link) to be played over the internet. The packetization is highly optimized which permits the lowest lag possible when extending game play over the internet.
