Requirements¶
Client side Requirements¶
- sudo, or root access on your client machine. (The server doesn’t need admin access.)
- Python 2.7 or Python 3.5.
Linux with NAT method¶
Supports:
- IPv4 TCP
- IPv4 DNS
Requires:
- iptables DNAT, REDIRECT, and ttl modules.
Linux with TPROXY method¶
Supports:
- IPv4 TCP
- IPv4 UDP (requires

recmsg- see below) - IPv6 TCP
- IPv6 UDP (requires
recmsg- see below) - IPv6 DNS (requires
recmsg- see below)
Full UDP or DNS support with the TPROXY method requires the recvmsg()
syscall. This is not available in Python 2, however is in Python 3.5 and
later. Under Python 2 you might find it sufficient installing PyXAPI to get
the recvmsg() function.
Server side Requirements¶
Python 2.7 or Python 3.5.
Additional Suggested Software¶
