DANTED(8)
NAME
danted - network proxyserver
SYNOPSIS
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.
