## What it is
A small C-based peer-to-peer VPN tunnel over UDP that can aggregate multiple network paths between a client and server. It lets users combine several local and remote IPs into one tunnel, useful when multiple internet connections are available.

## Use cases
- create a VPN tunnel over UDP between my machine and a VPS
- bond two internet connections into one tunnel
- use multiple network paths for a single VPN link
- set up a simple p2p tunnel with a shared secret
- aggregate home broadband connections to a remote server

## When to choose
- you have multiple uplinks and want to use them all for one UDP tunnel
- you want a tiny, dependency-free C VPN tool on Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a fully supported, well-tested VPN with a license file and active maintenance
- you need TCP tunneling, encryption beyond a shared secret, or Windows support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: vpn, networking, p2p
- domain: networking, privacy, censorship-circumvention
- platform: cli
- tags: udp-tunnel, multi-path, tun, linux
