# The configfile is divided into two parts; first serversettings, # then the rules. # # The recommended order is: # Serversettings: # logoutput # internal # external # method # clientmethod # users # compatibility # extension # connecttimeout # iotimeout # srchost # # Rules: # client block/pass # from to # log # # block/pass # from to # method # command # log # protocol # proxyprotocol # the server will log both via syslog, to stdout and to /var/log/lotsoflogs #logoutput: syslog stdout /var/log/lotsoflogs logoutput: syslog # The server will bind to the address 10.1.1.1, port 1080 and will only # accept connections going to that address. #internal: 10.1.1.1 port = 1080 # Alternatively, the interface name can be used instead of the address. #internal: eth0 port = 1080 # all outgoing connections from the server will use the IP address # 195.168.1.1 #external: 192.168.1.1 # list over acceptable methods, order of preference. # A method not set here will never be selected. # # If the method field is not set in a rule, the global # method is filled in for that rule. # # methods for socks-rules. #method: username none #rfc931 # methods for client-rules. #clientmethod: none #or if you want to allow rfc931 (ident) too #method: username rfc931 none # # An important section, pay attention. # # when doing something that can require privilege, # it will use the userid "sockd". user.privileged: sockd # when running as usual, # it will use the unprivileged userid of "sockd". user.notprivileged: sockd # # some options to help clients with compatibility: # # when a client connection comes in the socksserver will try to use # the same port as the client is using, when the socksserver # goes out on the clients behalf (external: IP address). # If this option is set, Dante will try to do it for reserved ports aswell. # This will usually require user.privileged to be set to "root". #compatibility: sameport # If you are using the bind extension and have trouble running servers # via the server, you might try setting this. The consequences of it # are unknown. #compatibility: reuseaddr # # The Dante server supports some extensions to the socks protocol. # These require that the socks client implements the same extension and # can be enabled using the "extension" keyword. # # enable the bind extension. #extension: bind # # # misc options. # # how many seconds can pass from when a client connects til it has # sent us it's request? Adjust according to your network performance # and methods supported. #connecttimeout: 30 # on a lan, this should be enough if method is "none". # how many seconds can the client and it's peer idle without sending # any data before we dump it? Unless you disable tcp keep-alive for # some reason, it's probably best to set this to 0, which is # "forever". #iotimeout: 0 # or perhaps 86400, for a day. # do you want to accept connections from addresses without # dns info? what about addresses having a mismatch in dnsinfo? #srchost: nounknown nomismatch # # The actual rules. There are two kinds and they work at different levels. # # The rules prefixed with "client" are checked first and say who is allowed # and who is not allowed to speak/connect to the server. I.e the # ip range containing possibly valid clients. # It is especially important that these only use IP addresses, not hostnames, # for security reasons. # # The rules that do not have a "client" prefix are checked later, when the # client has sent its request and are used to evaluate the actual # request. # # The "to:" in the "client" context gives the address the connection # is accepted on, i.e the address the socksserver is listening on, or # just "0.0.0.0/0" for any address the server is listening on. # # The "to:" in the non-"client" context gives the destination of the clients # socksrequest. # # "from:" is the source address in both contexts. # # the "client" rules. All our clients come from the net 10.0.0.0/8. # # Allow our clients, also provides an example of the port range command. #client pass { # from: 10.0.0.0/8 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # method: rfc931 # match all idented users that also are in passwordfile #} # This is identical to above, but allows clients without a rfc931 (ident) # too. In practise this means the socksserver will try to get a rfc931 # reply first (the above rule), if that fails, it tries this rule. #client pass { # from: 10.0.0.0/8 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 #} # drop everyone else as soon as we can and log the connect, they are not # on our net and have no business connecting to us. This is the default # but if you give the rule yourself, you can specify details. #client block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # log: connect error #} # the rules controlling what clients are allowed what requests # # you probably don't want people connecting to loopback addresses, # who knows what could happen then. #block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 127.0.0.0/8 # log: connect error #} # the people at the 172.16.0.0/12 are bad, no one should talk to them. # log the connect request. #block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 172.16.0.0/12 # log: connect error #} # unless you need it, you could block any bind requests. #block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # command: bind # log: connect error #} # or you might want to allow it, for instance "active" ftp uses it. # Note that a "bindreply" command must also be allowed, it # should usually by from "0.0.0.0/0", i.e if a client of yours # has permission to bind, it will also have permission to accept # the reply from anywhere. #pass { # from: 10.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # command: bind # log: connect error #} # some connections expect some sort of "reply", this might be # the reply to a bind request or it may be the reply to a # udppacket, since udp is packetbased. # Note that nothing is done to verify that it's a "genuine" reply, # that is in general not possible anyway. The below will allow # all "replies" in to your clients at the 10.0.0.0/8 net. #pass { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 10.0.0.0/8 # command: bindreply udpreply # log: connect error #} # pass any http connects to the example.com domain if they # authenticate with username. # This matches "example.com" itself and everything ending in ".example.com". #pass { # from: 10.0.0.0/8 to: .example.com port = http # log: connect error # method: username #} # block any other http connects to the example.com domain. #block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: .example.com port = http # log: connect error #} # everyone from our internal network, 10.0.0.0/8 is allowed to use # tcp and udp for everything else. #pass { # from: 10.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # protocol: tcp udp #} # last line, block everyone else. This is the default but if you provide # one yourself you can specify your own logging/actions #block { # from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 # log: connect error #}
