I think I'm back to my previous question, aren't these
tunnel programs run as seperate apps from the GUI?

What I mean is, there aren't any applications out there that
need to know or be configured to use an encrypted tunnel,
they just open a socket like they normally do.

The tunnel is created in advance of the GUI ever running,
isn't that the idea, and the GUI never knows about it.

I may be wrong, but unless there's a decision to use the
built-in java SSL or SSH calls as versus a seperate tunnel,
java doesn't have a role in the security aspect.
