Added SOCAT
Calling tinc with -k or --kill option will cause it to automatically unregister itself.
Calling tinc with -k or --kill option will cause it to automatically unregister itself.
== SOCAT ==
SOCAT can be used to create a simple virtual network between two hosts using UDP and TUN devices.
'''Note: It is possible to use TCP for this as well, but without the nodelay option it might cause problems. You can also replace UDP with DTLS to add security to the connection.'''
*IP addresses used in this example:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width: 35%"
! Host
! Address
! Mask
|-
| Physical server address
| 1.2.3.4
| N/A
|-
| Physical client address
| N/A
| N/A
|-
| TUN device on server
| 192.168.255.1
| 255.255.255.0
|-
| TUN device on client
| 192.168.255.2
| 255.255.255.0
|}
Note: UDP connections will use PORT 11443.
=== Create TUN devices ===
*TUN Server<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
socat -d -d UDP-LISTEN:11443,reuseaddr TUN:192.168.255.1/24,up</syntaxhighlight>
*TUN Client<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
socat UDP:1.2.3.4:11443 TUN:192.168.255.2/24,up</syntaxhighlight>
Executing these two commands will result in a connection being established from the client to the server via TUN devices.
=== Troubleshooting ===
The following are common errors that you may encounter when using SOCAT to create a VPN.
*Missing TUN/TAP Support<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
... E unknown device/address "tun"</syntaxhighlight>
The SOCAT binary probably does not provide TUN/TAP support. Reasons include not using Linux and using an older version of SOCAT.
*Missing Kernel Support<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
,,, E open("/dev/net/tun", 02, 0666): No such file or directory</syntaxhighlight>
This incidates that your kernel does not have TUN/TAP support compiled in.
*TUN Cloning Device Permissions<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
... E open("/dev/net/tun", 02, 0666): Permission denied</syntaxhighlight>
This indicates that you do not have sufficient permission to read or write to the TUN cloning device. Check the device's permssions and ownership.
