Warp Pipe On Linux, Mac Versions, Future Plans
Thanks to the Warp Pipe website for recent updates announcing downloadable Linux and Mac OS X Alpha/Beta versions of their GameCube tunnelling software, following the release of the Windows Beta a couple of weeks back. The Internet-play enabling LAN hack already works for Kirby Air Ride and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the Warp Pipe site also notes that "development on our next release is coming along nicely. New versions (Windows, Mac, and Linux) will support [latest LAN-compatible GC title] 1080: Avalanche."
How does Warp Pipe differ from a basic VPN?
Why trust them? Look how the have acted in the past before you trust this software.
This isn't a dig against closed source software, as I have quite a few closed source linux apps on my systems that I have paid for.
Just look at this projects past behavior.
