dnstt-cli

A desktop console client for dnstt: a local SOCKS5 proxy or a system-wide VPN through a DNS tunnel, with reconnection, a list of resolvers, profiles and secret storage. One Go binary for Linux and Windows (macOS — the proxy mode only), the dnstt client core built in.

In development. Nothing works yet: the repository is at its foundation stage. What is planned and in which order — doc/architecture.md and doc/plan.md.

This is only a client. The server side stays with dnstt itself: dnstt-server and whatever its owner runs behind it (a SOCKS5 proxy with a login is the main case).

Credits

The tunnel core is dnstt by David Fifield, public domain (CC0), carried into core/ from the FreedomCats mirror of the upstream. The shell — profiles, secrets, routes, DNS protection, kill-switch, network tracking — is based on csqtt-cli (MIT).
