EchoWare OSX Bundle Version 1.926 Released: 9 August 2007 =============================== INTRODUCTION ------------ EchoWare is an OSX bundle that enables both client-server as well as peer-to-peer applications to communicate with each other via a "relay server" (aka, an "echoServer"). All communication between echoWare and the echoserver appears to be outgoing TCP from the point of view of the OSX network. This allows the echoWare-enabled applications to communicate with each other without either side of the connection needing to set or adjust any firewall or router's port-forwarding settings. EchoWare is utilized in both the Kaboodle "Network Manager and Personal VPN application", as well as in EchoVNC, a firewall-friendly VNC Server and Viewer.
