BadVPN is a collection of C networking tools: the NCD scripting language/daemon for network configuration, a tun2socks network-layer proxifier that routes all TCP traffic through a SOCKS server, and a Layer 2 peer-to-peer VPN. The repository is archived and no longer maintained.
Use cases
- route all system TCP traffic through a SOCKS proxy without app support
- proxy traffic through a remote SSH server
- configure Linux network interfaces with a scriptable daemon
- set up a peer-to-peer Layer 2 VPN between machines
- handle NAT traversal for VPN peers
- deliver multicast efficiently with IGMP snooping
When to choose
- you need a network-layer SOCKS proxifier on Linux or Windows
- you want a flexible scriptable network configuration daemon on Linux
- you need a self-hosted P2P Ethernet VPN with NAT traversal
When to avoid
- you want actively maintained software with security updates
- you need a modern VPN like WireGuard with better performance
- you need NCD on non-Linux platforms
