Have you heard of NeoRouter yet? If not, you do want to check it out (www.neorouter.com). It’s an excellent VPN and remote access software, similar to the Hamachi, but much better personally. Since Hamachi2 cut off the Mac and Linux support, I turned to NeoRouter and have been using it pretty well.

My main operating systems are Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux. However, NeoRouter team haven’t provide the GUI yet, instead provides a CLI command – nrclientcli. As a *nix programmer, I never had any issue with the lack of a decent GUI. But I have to admit that a GUI is handy sometimes, especially for those friends who need NeoRouter and run Linux or OS X and yet don’t know what a terminal is.

Therefore, I have decided to put my coding skills to good use and fill a void that really needs to be filled. I am writing a  GUI frontend for the Linux, Mac OS X and Windows NeoRouter clients. Thanks for NeoRouter team provides the interface for the NRClientCLI so that I just need to implement the wrapper to extend it in NRClientX. To be flexible, I use the python/wxPython, that is supported by most popular operating systems.

I release it as a open source project and publish it on sourceforge.

Enjoy it!!
