A simple dns proxy to tunnel DNS requests over a socks proxy (for example, over ssh or Tor). This can come in handy when setting up transparent proxies.
It chooses a random DNS server for each request from the file "resolv.conf" which is a newline delimited list of DNS servers.
The daemon must be run as root in order for it to bind to port 53.
Usage: ./dns-proxy [options]
With no parameters, the configuration file is read from 'dns_proxy.conf'.
- -n -- No configuration file (socks: 127.0.0.1:9050, listener: 0.0.0.0:53).
- -h -- Print this message and exit.
- config_file -- Read from specified configuration file.
The configuration file should contain any of the following options (and ignores lines that begin with '#'):
- socks_addr -- socks listener address
- socks_port -- socks listener port
- listen_addr -- address for the dns proxy to listen on
- listen_port -- port for the dns proxy to listen on (most cases 53)
- set_user -- username to drop to after binding
- set_group -- group to drop to after binding
- resolv_conf -- location of resolv.conf file to read from
- log_file -- location to log to (should be /dev/null unless debugging).
Any non-specified options will be set to their defaults:
- socks_addr = 127.0.0.1
- socks_port = 9050
- listen_addr = 0.0.0.0
- listen_port = 53
- set_user = nobody
- set_group = nobody
- resolv_conf = resolv.conf
- log_file = /dev/null
On Arch linux, the dns proxy can be installed from the AUR at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tcpdnsproxy/.
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tc/tcpdnsproxy/PKGBUILD
makepkg
sudo pacman -U tcpdnsproxy-20130128-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
# edit /etc/dns_proxy/dns_proxy.conf as necessary
sudo systemctl start tcpdnsproxy
# to autorun on put run:
sudo systemctl enable tcpdnsproxy
On other distributions:
git clone https://github.com/jtRIPper/dns-tcp-socks-proxy.git
cd dns-tcp-socks-proxy
make
# edit dns_proxy.conf as necessary
./dns_proxy
After running the daemon, the system should be configured to use the proxy automatically.
