IP over DNS: Revision 5
I guess that you already know everything about this. However, here is a list of changes specific to me:
Server setupMore or less standard, expect for fact that my DNS server has multiple IP addresses and I do want to run bind on some of them. So I added something like: # /etc/bind/named.conf options { listen-on { 1.2.3.4; } } Configuring nstx is straightforward: # /etc/default/nstx NSTX_DOMAIN="tunnel.example.com" start_nstxd=yes ifup_tun=tun0 NSTX_IFACE="1.2.3.4" Rest of the setup is same as in original instructions. Client setupHere comes the fun part. # /etc/network/interfaces iface tun0 inet static address 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 mtu 500 # optional, may solve ssh problems post-up route add -host `grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf-upstream |head -1|awk '{print $2}'` gw `netstat -rn | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{ print $2 }'` ; route del default ; route add -net default gw 10.0.0.1 post-down dhclient post-up part is modified so that DNS server doesn't have to be in same network segment as my IP address (as it often isn't). # /etc/default/nstx NSTX_DOMAIN="tunnel.example.com" NSTX_DNS_SERVER=`grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf-upstream |head -1|awk '{print $2}'` start_nstxcd=yes ifup_tun=tun0 Since I don't want to start nstxcd on each startup (because I don't need it always) I did: sudo update-rc.d -f nstx remove sudo update-rc.d -f nstxc remove With this, I can get IP address and just do /etc/init.d/nstxcd start and I'm ready to go... |
