SOCKS only SSH connections #76

Open danfruehauf opened 6 years ago

danfruehauf commented 6 years ago

Allow SOCKS only connections (-D host:port, -D port)
Use dummy0 as interface
Fix bug in config validation, where only prefix of keys were compared

Fixes #41

danfruehauf commented 6 years ago

Still incomplete, need to add:

UI changes, to allow switching between SOCKS mode and full VPN mode
Export/Import support

Currently one can modify the current configuration file and add:

socks=yes
socks-bind-address=localhost:10000

Then run:

$ nm cli con reload

@ockham FYI. It is still incomplete, but the basic functionality is there. It uses dummy0 as the device of choice to feed to NetworkManager - because we must.

if i did understand right does this mean that if the connection is lost network manager will not know about it ?

In what sense? NM has got nothing to do with it anyway, as it doesn't set any new interfaces or new routes. Are you talking about different events? Well, there will be an event emitted that the connection is up. I'm afraid I didn't understand your question entirely.

Sorry i was not enough clear in my question... let say in the case where the ssh tunnel connection is lost/disconnected in that case does NM change its displayed info ?

Definitely. It'll show the connection/tunnel as down.
