iodine - IP over DNS is now easy

********************************
|
|
|
|
This is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS
|
|
server. This can be usable in different situations where internet access is
|
|
firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO USE:
|
|
|
|
Server side:
|
|
To use this tunnel, you need control over a real domain (like mytunnel.com),
|
|
and another computer with a static public IP number that does not yet run a DNS
|
|
server. Then, delegate a subdomain (say, tunnel1.mytunnel.com) to the computer.
|
|
If you use BIND for the domain, add these lines to the zone file:
|
|
|
|
tunnel1host IN A 10.15.213.99
|
|
|
|
$ORIGIN tunnel1.mytunnnel.com.
|
|
@ IN NS tunnel1host.mytunnel.com.
|
|
|
|
Now any DNS querys for domains ending with tunnel1.mytunnnel.com will be sent
|
|
to your server. Start iodined on the server. The first argument is the tunnel
|
|
IP address (like 192.168.99.1) and the second is the assigned domain (in this
|
|
case tunnel1.mytunnel.com). The -f argument will keep iodined running in the
|
|
foreground, which helps when testing. iodined will start a virtual interface,
|
|
and also start listening for DNS queries on UDP port 53. Now everything is
|
|
ready for the client.
|
|
|
|
Client side:
|
|
All the setup is done, just start iodine. It also takes two arguments, the
|
|
first is the server (10.15.213.99 or tunnel1host.mytunnel.com) and the second
|
|
is the domain used (tunnel1.mytunnnel.com). The tunnel interface will get an IP
|
|
close to the servers (in this case 192.168.99.2) and a suitable MTU. Now you
|
|
should be able to ping the other end of the tunnel from each side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INFO:
|
|
|
|
iodine has been tested on Linux (x86 and SPARC64) and OpenBSD (x86). It should
|
|
work on other unix-like systems as well that has TUN/TAP tunneling support. Let
|
|
us know if you get it to run on other platforms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE NAME:
|
|
|
|
The name iodine was chosen since it starts with IOD (IP Over DNS) and since
|
|
iodine has atomic number 53, just like the DNS port.
