dns-tcp-socks-proxy

Simple daemon to tunnel DNS requests over SOCKS.

DNS SOCKS Proxy

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

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.

Configuration

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

Installation

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.
