This process could +easily be automated/scripted with f.e. Perl and LDAP. +.PP +Now, the client ``myclient1'' is known to the server; that's it for the server +configuration. The next step is to tell the client where he needs to connect to +the server. +.PP +We assume in this example that the tunnel server has an public IP i.e. 1.2.3.4, +runs on port 6666 and uses UDP as a carrier protocol. In case you are behind +a NAT, you can use curvetun's ``--stun'' option for starting the server, to +obtain your mapping. However, in this example we continue with 1.2.3.4 and 6666, +UDP. +.PP +First, the server needs to export its key to the client, as +.PP + server$ curvetun -x +.PP +where it prints sth like: +.PP + mysrv1;22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22 + \\____/ \\_____________________________________________________________________________________________/ + username 32 byte public key for 'mysrv1' + ^-- you need this public key +.PP +Thus, you now have the server IP, server port, server transport protocol and the +server's public key at hand. Thus, on the client side it can be put all together +in the config like +.PP + client$ echo "myfirstserver;1.2.3.4;6666;udp;22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:" \\ + "22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:22:" \\ + "22:22" >> ~/.curvetun/servers +.PP +where the client can check its config via: +.PP + client$ curvetun -S +.PP +Okay, assuming we've made it, then we start the server with: +.PP + server$ curvetun -s -p 6666 -u + server# ifconfig curves0 up + server# ifconfig curves0 10.0.0.1/24 +.PP +Then, we start the client with: +.PP + client$ curvetun -c=myfirstserver + client# ifconfig curvec0 up + client# ifconfig curvec0 10.0.0.2/24 +.PP +Also, client-side information, errors or warnings will appear in syslog! By now +we should be able to ping the server: +.PP + client$ ping 10.0.0.1 +.PP +That's it! Routing example: +.PP +Server side's public IP on eth0 is i.e. 1.2.3.4: +.PP + server$ ... start curvetun server ... + server# ifconfig curves0 up + server# ifconfig curves0 10.0.0.1/24 + server# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward + server# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE + server# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o curves0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT + server# iptables -A FORWARD -i curves0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT +.PP +Client side's IP on eth0 is i.e. 5.6.7.8: +.PP + client$ ... start curvetun client ... + client# ... lookup your default gateway (e.g. via route, here: 5.6.7.9) ... + client# ifconfig curvec0 up + client# ifconfig curvec0 10.0.0.2/24 + client# route add -net 1.2.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 5.6.7.9 dev eth0 + client# route add default gw 10.0.0.1 + client# route del default gw 5.6.7.9 +.PP +That should be it, happy browsing and emailing via curvetun tunnels! .PP .SH NOTE This software is an experimental prototype intended for researchers.
