If you search the archive, you will find some conversations about this, including posts from Henrik regarding why he has not implemented it, and what some of the issues are regarding encryption. It turns out to be a fairly complicated issue.
Some folks did say that they were using tunneling successfully, but this is done outside of the Hobbit technology itself. Unless I dreamed all this...

Currently, if someone put a sniffer on the network will have access to all information transmitted, as they are in plain text. Regards, Eduard disclaimer: i still haven't tried hobbit, i'm lurking the list to get a better feel of it. so, after getting this disclaimer out of the way, i'm guessing the easiest way to get this going is by using something like stunnel (www.stunnel.org ) or openssh port forwarding (www.openssh.com). both work with most tcp based apps and have been used by us in various scenarios. // nick To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
