man nstxd (Conventions) - IP over DNS tunneling daemon
NAME
nstxd - IP over DNS tunneling daemon
SYNOPSIS
nstxd OPTION DOMAIN
DESCRIPTION
nstxd listens for well formed DNS requests and translates them into IP packets. Responses are sent in the form of DNS replies. This allows clients to tunnel IP packets over the DNS protocol.
OPTIONS
nstxd takes the following option:
- -d
- Use this tun device instead of tun0
- -i
- Bind to this IP address rather than every available address
- -C
- Chroot to this directory on startup
- -D
- Daemonize on startup
- -g
- Switch on debug messages
- -u
- Run as the following user
- domain
- The domain that nstxd will listen to requests for. This should be a domain that is delegated to the machine running nstxd.
USAGE
A domain should be delegated to the machine that will run nstxd. nstxd should then be run giving that domain as the only argument. nstxd will then listen for requests and translate them into IP packets that will appear on the tun0 interface. Packets sent to the tun0 interface will be transferred back to the client as DNS answers.
