About Us
Bitvise began in early 2000 with the idea to develop an SSH server for Windows, which at that time was not available on the market. The company was formally founded in February 2001, and the first version of WinSSHD was released in May. The initial version of Tunnelier was released shortly thereafter - it supported manual port forwarding.
In May 2002, we released the first WinSSHD and Tunnelier in the 3-series, with Tunnelier now supporting the bvterm remote console and remote WinSSHD configuration. Another year later, in May 2003, we released new versions of our products with drastic improvements in speed, and in February 2004 we released the first versions in the 3.2x series, with xterm, VT-100 and graphical SFTP support available for the first time in Tunnelier. On 24 December 2004, Tunnelier 3.60 was released with dynamic tunneling, proxy and public key support, as well as a new license policy granting free individual use.
The licensing of our SSH technology in the form of sshlib has also played a role throughout this time, each year adding products and firms that trust our SSH implementation with their network transport security requirements.
Our company began with two and has grown to its current size of six people, most of us developers, distributed across continents. denis bider, director and co-founder, lives in St. Kitts in the Caribbean, but is originally from Slovenia, a small European country south of Austria and east of Italy. Another Bitvise co-founder lives in Seattle, WA, US, and we also work with developers from Canada and Slovenia.
Our plans for the future remain simple: do our best to produce robust and reliable security software, and continue to grow!
