always connect tunnel

Open naggie opened this issue 13 years ago • 6 comments

I use sidestep as a tunnel a bit like a VPN. Not necessarily because it's secure, but because it enables the bypass of firewalls and access to my home network.

As such, it would be good to have a feature to automatically connect, regardless of wether the network is 'secure' or not.

Callan,

You do! You can find "Connect" in the menu.

indeed, which I what I use.

What I meant was for it to automatically connect with the wifi network like when connecting to an unsecured network.

Thanks for writing the software by the way, it's great!

+1; automatically connect even though the connection uses WPA is a feature I would use

An example use case would be for when I'm in an internet cafe that openly shares its password, defeating the point of encryption.

I also use this to access my VPN behind a firewall where IPsec or OpenVPN won't work.

I came here to suggest this feature as well. An "always connected" option.

With the ability to white list the few secure networks where you don't need sidestep.
