## Description

Ping Tunnel lets you bypass firewalls and DPI by tunneling TCP and UDP traffic over ICMP (ping). It’s lightweight, fast, and designed for restrictive networks where VPN access is blocked.

The app works with an open-source pingtunnel daemon. Setup for macOS and Linux is included, or use the URL schema to connect quickly. It supports custom servers for secure remote access in heavily censored environments.
