It is designed to use the anonymization networks +Tor or I2P as its transport, hence, it provides location-based anonymity while +still creating tunnel end points with private unique IP addresses. -You can think of it as a point-to-multipoint VPN between hidden services. +OnionCat uses IPv6 as native layer 3 network protocol. The clients +connected by it appear as on a single logical IPv6 network as being connected +by a virtual switch. OnionCat automatically calculates and assigns unique IPv6 +addresses to the tunnel end points which are derived from the hidden service +ID (onion ID) of the hidden service of the local Tor client, or the local I2P +server destination, respectively. This technique provides authentication +between the onion ID and the layer 3 address, hence, defeats IP spoofing +within the OnionCat VPN. -OnionCat is based on anonymizing transport layers like Tor. +If necessary, OnionCat can of course transport IPv4 as well. Although it has +native IP support, the suggested way to do this is to configure an +IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel. -WWW: http://www.cypherpunk.at/onioncat/ +WWW: https://www.onioncat.org/
