Description

Hans makes it possible to tunnel IPv4 through ICMP echo packets, so you could call it a ping tunnel. This can be useful when you find yourself in the situation that your Internet access is firewalled, but pings are allowed.

Hans runs on Linux as a client and a server. It runs on Mac OS X, iPhone/iPod touch, FreeBSD and OpenBSD as a client only.

Message after installing

Hans runs on Linux as a client and a server.
It runs on FreeBSD client only.

NOTE: that Hans cannot receive echo requests on BSD systems.
Therefore the server only works on Linux.
