AlmostVPN 0.9 GA is sinds kort beschikbaar voor het Mac OS X-platform. Het programma is een Preference Panel om verschillende ssh-tunnels in te stellen en gebruikt launchd voor het aansturen van deze ssh-tunnels. Hiermee kan je op een eenvoudige manier remote volumes aankoppelen. Met de volgende aankondiging is het programma binnen te halen:
What Is New Since RC 4:What Was Fixed Since RC 4:
- AlmostVPN now can import tunnel definitions from "SSH Tunnel Manager" and "SSHKeychain"
- AlmostVPN can automatically start selected profile when user login into the computer (and stop it on logout)
- Brand new AlmostVPN Widget. Now it does look more like a widget (some people complained that old one was not "widgety" enough).
What Still Does Not Work:
- Ticket #39. Please implement auto-start for tunnels.
- Ticket #40. Cannot resolve IP address of remote host.
- Ticket #41. Need to be able to import configuration from SSH Tunnel Manager (and SSHKeyChain?)
- Ticket #42. Almost VPN breaking my SSH keys?
- You can not mount SMB (Windows) file system if you are running "Windows Sharing" locally. This limitation will be eliminated in "professional" version.
- "Almost VPN" connection for "Apple Remote Desktop" does not work. ARD support moved to "professional" version.
