danted - network proxyserver

danted [-DLVdhnv] [-N number] [-f file]

Dante implements the socks standard and can function as a firewall between networks.

Dante relays TCP and UDP both from outside the network and in, and from inside and out.

The options are as follows:

-D

Dante will detach from the controlling terminal and run in the background as a system daemon.

-L

Displays the license Dante comes under.

-Nnumber

Dante will fork of number copies of itself when starting. Can be used for very busy servers.

-V

Verifies config file and exits.

-d

Enables debugging.

-ffile

Dante will read its configuration from file.

-h

Shows the currently valid options.

-n

Disables TCP keep-alive messages. Normally Dante enables TCP keep-alive messages so that connections from machines that have crashed or for other reasons no longer can be reached time out.

-v

Displays Dante version.

TMPDIR

Use TMPDIR for temporary files. Since Dante uses lockfiles it is recommended that TMPDIR be set to a (local) filesystem with low latency.
