Nowadays, when you connect to the Internet, either to work or just for entertainment, there's always a chance to be exposed to various risks. Even if you have an Antivirus, as long as the connection is established by another application, you put yourself and your computer in danger.
To help users minimize this risk, Codinn Technologies developed Core Tunnel, an application that creates a two-way SSH tunnel and makes the online activity difficult to be tracked.
Its interface looks minimalist, and its comprised of a main menu, with a few tabs that include various configuration options. The menu navigation is easy to complete and the response to user actions is decent.
Core Tunnel is compatible to OpenSSH and everything inside of it. More, the app comes with macOS Keychain integration, a function that provides secure storage for passphrases,
More than that, individuals can use the buil-in editor to view and edit information about ssh directives and it case of a network failure the app automatically restores the connection.
To sum it up, Core Tunnel provides users a way to keep their connection safe and difficult to intercept from the outside. The basic subcription is free, but if you want to enjoy unlimited features you'd have to pay a subscription fee. It's not perfect, as it could've had a quick start guide and a more easier way to install updates.
