Aesop

Aesop is a TCP-proxy which supports many advanced and powerful features.
It's designed to be secure, fast and reliable. Aesop makes use of strong
cryptography for all it's data-transmission up to the end-link. Another
powerful feature of Aesop is that Aesop proxies can be transparently
stacked into a secure chain. Aesop is implemented using multiplexing and
is therefore fast and lightweight. Aesop ships with libaesop, which is a
LD_PRELOAD wrapper around connect(), it enables almost any application to
be run over a defined chain of aesop proxies.

+Key features:

        - Fast and reliable TCP-proxy.
        - Strong cryptography: Arcfour (RC4) with a 512bit key exchanged
          by the Signed Diffie Hellman protocol (With RSA/MD5 for the
          signature).
        - Encryption and key-exchange is all transparent to the user.
        - Multiple proxies can be stacked in a chain to create a secure
          anonymous route, there is no limit on how many proxies can be
          stacked. Stacking is done all transparent to the user.
        - Libaesop enables almost any application to be run over a defined
          chain of aesop proxies.
        - Proper forwarding and handling of Out-of-Band (OOB) data.
        - Optimal performance by a single-thread design. Aesop is fully
          multiplexed.
        - Advisory/Mandatory endpoint sourceport specification.
        - Lightweight.
