[VPN] EchoVNC 1.3 release

[Scott C. Best]

 	Heyaz. Some shameless self-promotion here. :) The EchoVNC
team has today released version 1.3 of their open-source, secure
remote-access tool for Windows. EchoVNC 1.3 adds several new features
and significantly improves the connection stability of earlier versions.

Source and binaries are available here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133100

The new 1.3 release adds many new features:

o A startup wizard to assist with initial setup
o An option to automatically start EchoVNC at startup
o OpenSSL is automatically detected to enable the 128-bit AES encryption
   option

Bug Fixes from version 1.1:

o Multiple echoServers are now treated correctly
o Automatic re-connection with known echoServers has been repaired
o The installer will now correctly update older installed versions

EchoVNC is a secure tunneling utility for VNC-based remote access. EchoVNC
comes with a VNC Viewer, and is designed to work with any flavor of VNC
Server that you already have installed (e.g., RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC,
etc.). With EchoVNC, a PC on your LAN can be securely remote-accessed
without any adjustments to your firewall or router configuration. EchoVNC
makes standard VNC installs "firewall friendly" with no port-forwarding
requirements.

EchoVNC is built upon the open-source echoWare SDK developed as part of
the Kaboodle LAN-commander project. With echoWare, any peer-to-peer or
client-server Internet application can interconnect via a 3rd-party relay
server, making all data traffic appear to be "outgoing" to any client-side
firewalls or routers. Via the OpenSSL library, connections between the two
applications can have their data content secured with a Diffie-Hellman
key-exchange and 128-bit AES encryption. The relay-server supported by
echoWare clients is a shareware application called "echoServer" -- together
with EchoVNC, it provides an overall remote-access solution that is
"firewall-friendly", highly secure, and extremely low cost.
