DNS2SOCKS Reviews

I compiled dns2socks on tomato base router, version 1.7 worked fine, but version 1.8 always failed: gcc -pthread -Wall -O2 -o dns2socks DNS2SOCKS.c [optware][asus:/tmp/mnt/sda2/compile/dns2socks]$ ./dns2socks /l:/var/log/dns2socks.log /q 127.0.0.1:7777 8.8.8.8:53 0.0.0.0:5252 DNS2SOCKS V1.8 (free software, use parameter /? to display help) Invalid address '127.0.0.1' and port '7777' specified for SOCKS server! I see the source: if(iRet) { //only for the DNS server also support name if(&g_sDnsSrvAddr==psAddr) { size_t uLen=strlen(szIpAndPort); if(uLen<256 && uLen) { ((struct sockaddr_in6*)&g_sDnsSrvAddr)->sin6_port=htons((uint16_t)atoi(szPort)); if(((struct sockaddr_in6*)&g_sDnsSrvAddr)->sin6_port) { g_sDnsSrvAddr.ss_family=AF_UNSPEC; //this marks usage of name *(char**)&((struct sockaddr_in6*)&g_sDnsSrvAddr)->sin6_addr=szIpAndPort; //use sin6_addr for pointer to name (128 bit -> large enough, alignment should also be fine) ((struct sockaddr_in6*)&g_sDnsSrvAddr)->sin6_flowinfo=(uint8_t)uLen; //use sin6_flowinfo for length return 1; //o.k. } } } OutputFatal("\nInvalid address '%s' and port '%s' specified for %s!\n", szIpAndPort, szPort, szParamName); return 0; //error } Are those means: if &g_sDnsSrvAddr!=psAddr, always return failed? Sorry i am a C language newbie.

Not actively supported and not working out of the box. Getting the message "Server actively refused connection" (by which I think it's the TOR SOCK server that's refusing). Set-up as follows: Windows 8.1 (fully updated). Latest TOR bundle (up and running ok). Latest DNS2SOCKS (version matching TOR bundle). Having configured the NIC for 127.0.0.1 preferred DNS, started the TOR bundle, started DNS2SOCKS, saw the requests listed in DNS2SOCKS console along with matching actively refused messages. It's unfortunate that DNS2SOCKS doesn't support IP6 - Yet?...

A very useful tool.
