Here you'll find Socks / Dante addon for the Firewall Project IPCop

Dante original Homepage: http://www.inet.no/dante/

Some notes: this socks/dante addon was created, just to allow applications like HBCI an internet connection, which normally can't pass through the IPCop firewall. The install-script is generating two configuration files (socks.conf + sockd.conf) only on green network! If you need to enable this addon for such other interfaces, you have to make your settings manually by creating for each subnet a separate block and pass rule.

Security Notes: Every addon installed on a firewall is a security risk! Normally other applications should run on a decitated machine. For this addon it is possible, to decrease the allowed port range! Default range is 1-65535 in sockd.conf. Second improvement is, to allow only one static ip-address.

Install Path: /usr/local/dante

Listen Port: <green_network_address>:1080

Install Instruction:

• untar the package (tar xzvf <package_name.tar.gz>)
• change to the folder (cd <package_name>)
• type ./install

Updated with new configuration files!

Here you'll find a prebuild of Socks/Dante addon.

I hope, that i find time to expand functionality for more then one device, as announced in previous version! So stay tuned and check this site for any news!

Changelog IPCop v1:

• removed unneeded development files

Changelog Dante:

• Fix problem introduced in version 1.2.1, causing the SO_REUSEADDR
  flag to not be set. Would cause problems during server restart if
  only the main process was killed.
• The regular expression for host and interface name parsing has been
  relaxed somewhat, allowing the use of some interface names and host
  names containing characters that were not allowed previously.
• The traffic log format has been slightly extended and now includes
  complete information about all communication endpoints, for both
  normal usage and with server chaining (really nice! :-)  ).
• Compilation fixes for older Linux distributions.

see full changelog in NEWS

Notes:

I want to say big thanks to the Dante Team on http://www.inet.no/dante/ for taking notice
and making compilation fixes for older Linux distributions. (I think, this makes a few people
happy, including me)
