Cubehub is a simple UDP over TCP tunnel application written in Java. It is designed to help people behind a firewall to connect through a TCP connection and play Quake and other UDP-based games.

SOCKS 4 and 5 are protocols that are supposed to allow users to send data through a firewall. However, they only work like this if the SOCKS server is on the firewall itself. Whilst TCP/IP traffic is frequently permitted through firewalls, UDP/IP (required by most online games) is often blocked. When a SOCKS 5 server relays UDP data (SOCKS 4 does not support UDP), the packets are simply relayed, there is no tunnelling involved.

This application provides a solution, tunnelling the data being relayed by a SOCKS server over one or (for better gaming performance) multiple TCP connections to help applications and games to work from behind a restrictive firewall.

Here are some key features of "CubehubTunnel":
Socks 4/5 server
TCP and UDP tunnelling over single or multiple TCP connections
Resilience against individual connection dropping
