The Barracuda HTTPS tunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. The HTTPS tunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, etc., by having the HTTPS tunnel provide the encryption. The HTTPS tunnel can also be used, for example, to tunnel traffic out from behind a restrictive firewall/proxy that only allows outgoing HTTPS web connections.

About the Barracuda Embedded Web-Server
The Barracuda Embedded Web-Server is specifically designed for controlling and monitoring embedded industrial applications in real time. Real time control of devices using HTTP has been impossible without constantly polling the HTTP server in the device until now. The Barracuda platform lets you implement real time update of remote user interfaces using HTTP(S).
