UDP won't get through most firewalls.
I'm working on a program that gets around this. It creates a IP tunnel by setting up a SLIP interface on a encrypted TCP stream and routes packets through that. It's not completely finished but it does work. Send me mail if you want it.
Pardon but... why? Whats the reason for wanting to do this? If a firewall has been set up to stop UDP, then it should stop UDP. If the firewall has not been set up to stop UDP, or has a mechanism like the experimental versions of "socks" currently being played with that relay UDP, then there is no reason to want to do the above. I don't really understand what the idea is here. Perry
