Title: Mac OS gif tunnel GUI?
Post by: Randomandy on February 16, 2011, 02:55:51 AM
Surely someone has developed a GUI for setting up a tunnel endpoint on on Mac OS X, no?
I want to set up remote machine with IPv6 where the user will be much too uneasy to use CLI. Since it is a dynamic IP address, I can't just have them set and forget.

And, for that matter, I am surprised there is so little activity in developing a script or something for maintaining tunnels through a dynamic address change. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard (speaking as someone who hasn't actually tried.) Or is it just that the clientele here is already so comfortable with CLI that we are insufficiently motivated?

And if no one has developed the GUI, would anyone else be interested in it if I were to consider creating it?

Meh. I didn't realize how easy it is to run shell scripts on a mac (by double clicking - duh), so GUI doesn't add much.
