UFTP is an encrypted multicast file transfer program, designed to securely, reliably, and efficiently transfer files to multiple receivers simultaneously. This is useful for distributing large files to a large number of receivers, and is especially useful for data distribution over a satellite link (with two way communication), where the inherent delay makes any TCP based communication highly inefficient. The multicast encryption scheme is based on TLS with extensions to allow multiple receivers to share a common key. UFTP also has the capability to communicate over disjoint networks separated by one or more firewalls (NAT traversal) and without full end-to-end multicast capability (multicast tunneling) through the use of a UFTP proxy server. These proxies also provide scalability by aggregating responses from a group of receivers.

An open-source free cross-platform multi-protocol VPN program, as an academic project from University of Tsukuba, under the Apache License 2.0. The API Suite allows you to easily develop your original SoftEther VPN Server management application to control the VPN Server (e.g. creating users, adding Virtual Hubs, disconnecting a specified VPN sessions) from JavaScript, TypeScript, C# or other languages. SoftEther VPN ("SoftEther" means "Software Ethernet") is one of the world's most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris. SoftEther VPN is an optimum alternative to OpenVPN and Microsoft's VPN servers. SoftEther VPN has a clone-function of OpenVPN Server. You can integrate from OpenVPN to SoftEther VPN smoothly. SoftEther VPN is faster than OpenVPN. SoftEther VPN also supports Microsoft SSTP VPN for Windows Vista / 7 / 8. No more need to pay expensive charges for Windows Server license for Remote-Access VPN function.

CacheGuard-OS, amongst other functions, embeds a Web Gateway allowing you to have control over what type of Web content is allowed in your organization, by whom and when. The Web Gateway works as a transparent or explicit Web proxy and blocks malware and other unwanted contents such as ads or adult websites at gateway even in an encrypted format (HTTPS). In addition, its caching capability allows you to cache bandwidth-intensive traffic such as YouTube or Windows updates in order to save your bandwidth. CacheGuard Web Gateway is distributed as an open source OS called CacheGuard-OS that you can install on a virtual or hardware machine of your choice. Once installed on a machine, CacheGuard-OS transforms that machine into a network appliance. In addition to the Web Gateway, CacheGuard-OS includes multitude of other services such as VPN, WAF and WAN optimization. CacheGuard products are especially designed to address SME requirements by providing functional solutions.
