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.
