NAME¶
danted - network proxyserverSYNOPSIS¶
danted [-DLVdhnv] [-N number] [-f file]DESCRIPTION¶
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.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- TMPDIR
- Use TMPDIR for temporary files. Since Dante uses lockfiles it is recommended that TMPDIR be set to a (local) filesystem with low latency.
FILES¶
- /etc/danted.conf
- Dante server configuration file.
