node-dtls-proxy v0.0.6

node-dtls-proxy

Node.js DTLS Proxy, library and tools to connect plain-text UDP clients with plain-text UDP servers over an encrypted tunnel..

Requirements

• nodejs version 4 or higher
• npm

Nodejs and NPM installation:

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm

Checking Nodejs version:

$ node --version

Upgrading Nodejs to version 4x:

wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Package Installation

From npm

$ npm install -g node-dtls-proxy

From Source

$ git clone https://github.com/m4n3dw0lf/node-dtls-proxy
$ cd node-dtls-proxy
$ sudo npm install -g
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -subj '/CN=node-dtls-proxy/O=m4n3dw0lf/C=BR'

Example

• Create 2 VMs, one for the Server and one for the Client and install the package.

Server-side

• On a terminal

$ dtls2udp <DTLS_LISTEN_PORT> <UDP_LISTEN_PORT> <UDP_ENDPOINT_IP> <UDP_ENDPOINT_PORT>

e.g:

$ dtls2udp 5684 5685 localhost 5683

• On another terminal

$ node examples/server/udp_server.js

Client-side

• On a terminal

$ udp2dtls <UDP_LISTEN_PORT> <DTLS2UDP SERVER IP> <DTLS2UDP SERVER PORT>

e.g:

$ udp2dtls 5687 localhost 5684

• On another terminal

$ node examples/client/udp_client.js

Docker-Compose Example

run docker-compose up

NOTE: remember to generate the certificate and key pair

this will start the dtls2udp and udp2dtls proxies.

for real scenarios, you will need to split the dtls2udp service in one server and the udp2dtls service to the other server.

Start the UDP Server sample

$ node examples/server/udp_server.js

Request using the UDP Client sample

$ node examples/client/udp_client.js

Check the result on the docker-compose output
