UDP to TCP and TCP to UDP protocol converter needed...

[PTechC]

I was looking for a (as the subject says) UDP to TCP and TCP to UDP protocol converter application.

I've got a remote network that I can only access via a secure TCP connection, but I've got an application that is UDP based that I need to use, so I needed an application that would do the conversion for me on both ends of the connection.

It doesn't matter if it's command-line based, or GUI. Any instructions on how to use the said program would be appreciated.

Any suggestions?

i don't think it's possible.

even if you manage to convert your app to use tcp packets, service that your app(game i assume) is supposed to connect to will expect udp packets.

You can encapsulate UDP/TCP inside of another TCP packet - which is essentially how VPN's work. Try looking for a VPN solution that supports UDP and TCP.

There's also netcat (http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:c8mK7...t&hl=en&ie=UTF8) (or search google)

Thanks Vlad!

Mmmm i guess that if you use WIn2000 or Xp clients u can set up the vpn with encapsulated tcp packets with the op. system alone... i did it at work, and you can also use ipsec if your secure tcp network supports it...

try to look in the add new connection on the server to set up an incoming vpn connection!

Actually... I already have a secure, encrypted tunnel using SSH, so no need for VPN. I just need to find a program that will allow me to encapsulate UDP inside of TCP, and then back to UDP at the other end.
