***********************************
Extra README file for Win32 related stuff
== Running iodine on Windows:
1. Install the TAP32 driver
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html
choose OpenVPN 2.0.9 Windows Installer, when installing you can
select to install only the TAP driver.
2. Make sure the interface you want to use does not have a default gateway set.
Use -d to specify the interface, use double quotes to include spaces, example
iodine.exe -d "Local Area Connection 4" abc.ab
3. Run iodine/iodined as normal (see the main README file).
You may have to run it as administrator depending on user privileges.
4. Enjoy!
== Building on Windows:
You need:
MinGW, MSYS, GCC, zlib
Then just run make
== Cross-compiling for MinGW:
You need:
MinGW crosscompiler, crosscompiled zlib
Then run "make cross-mingw"
Note that the binaries will not get a .exe suffix
== Zlib download
You can get zlib for MinGW here (both for native and crosscompile):
http://code.kryo.se/iodine/deps/zlib.zip
Unzip it in your MinGW directory on Windows or in $ROOT/usr for
cross-compile.
== Results of crappy Win32 API:
The following fixable limitations apply:
- Server cannot read packet destination address
The following (probably) un-fixable limitations apply:
- A password entered as -P argument can be shown in process list
- Priviligies cannot be dropped
- chroot() cannot be used
- Detaching from terminal not possible
- Server on windows must be run with /30 netmask
- Client can only talk to server, not other clients
