dante (a free SOCKS client and server)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dante is a product developed by Inferno Nettverk A/S. It consists of
|
||
|
|
a SOCKS server and a SOCKS client, implementing RFC 1928 and related
|
||
|
|
standards. It is a flexible product that can be used to provide convenient
|
||
|
|
and secure network connectivity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Dante SOCKS server interoperates with many popular network
|
||
|
|
applications which already have SOCKS support built in to them, such as
|
||
|
|
most web-browsers, instant messaging programs, and many others. Dante is
|
||
|
|
released under a BSD/CMU-type license and comes with complete source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Extensive documentation is available at the Dante web site:
|
||
|
|
|

Slackware-specific notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If libupnp is installed, Dante will be built with UPNP support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to start sockd as a daemon on boot, start it from
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. There's no init script provided with the package.
|
||
|
|
This may change in the future, if there's enough interest (email the
|
||
|
|
maintainer).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No config files are installed by default. Sample config
|
||
|
|
files are in /usr/doc/dante-$VERSION/example/, and also as
|
||
|
|
/etc/sock[ds].conf.example. Dante can be used as a client without a
|
||
|
|
config file (by setting SOCKS_SERVER in the environment, e.g.), but more
|
||
|
|
fine-grained control is possible with /etc/socks.conf. Dante won't be
|
||
|
|
very useful as a server (sockd) without a config file, so copy one of the
|
||
|
|
sockd example configs to /etc/sockd.conf if you're going to run a server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dante supports LDAP authentication, but the SlackBuild author hasn't
|
||
|
|
tested building the support for it. The Dante configure script says
|
||
|
|
you'll need to install "Kerberos/SASL/GSSAPI/LDAP" for this to work
|
||
|
|
(and it should be autodetected, if everything is installed). If you try
|
||
|
|
this, please email the maintainer with your results (success, failure,
|
||
|
|
anything extra you had to do to make it work).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The build doesn't include the "licensed modules" (purchase required)
|
||
|
|
and there is no provision for adding them. These include the bandwidth
|
||
|
|
and redirect modules.
