GNUNET-VPN(1)

NAME
gnunet-vpn - manually setup a GNUnet VPN tunnel

SYNOPSIS
gnunet-vpn [options]

DESCRIPTION
gnunet-vpn can be used to manually setup a VPN tunnel via the GNUnet network. There are two main types of tunnels. Tunnels to an exit node which routes the traffic to the global Internet, and tunnels to a node that runs a service only within GNUnet. Depending on the type of tunnel, gnunet-vpn takes different options. The "-i" option is required for tunnels to an exit node, whereas the "-p" and "-s" options in conjunction with either "-u" or "-t" are required for tunnels to services. For exit tunnels, both UDP and TCP traffic will be redirected. For service tunnels, either UDP ("-u") or TCP ("-t") traffic will be redirected. The tool will display the IP address for this end of the tunnel. The address can be displayed as soon as it has been allocated, or only after ("-a") the tunnel has been created.

OPTIONS

-4, --ipv4
    Desired IP address on this end of the tunnel should be an IPv4 address.

-6, --ipv6
    Desired IP address on this end of the tunnel should be an IPv6 address.

-c FILENAME,  --config=FILENAME
    Use the configuration file FILENAME.

-d TIME, --duration TIME
    The mapping should be established for TIME. The value given must be a number followed by a space and a time unit, for example "500 ms". Note that the quotes are required on the shell. Default is 5 minutes.

-h, --help
    Print short help on options.

-i IP, --ip IP
    Tunnel should be to an exit node and connect to the given IPv4 or IPv6 IP address. Note that you can specify an IPv6 address as the target here, even in combination with "-4" (4to6) and similarly you can specify an IPv4 address in combination with "-6" (6to4).

-L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
    Use LOGLEVEL for logging. Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

-p PEERID,  --peer=PEERID
    Name of the peer offering the service to connect to. Cannot be used in conjunction with "-i", requires "-s".

-s NAME,  --service=NAME
    Name of the service running on the target peer. Cannot be used in conjunction with "-i", requires "-p".

-t, --tcp
    Service runs TCP. Either "-t" or "-u" must be specified when using "-s".

-u, --udp
    Service runs UDP. Either "-t" or "-u" must be specified when using "-s".

-V, --verbose
    Be verbose.

-v, --version
    Print GNUnet version number.
