dnsfunnel

+ +

What is it ?

+ +

+ dnsfunnel is a small daemon listening to DNS client requests over UDP +(typically from the libc's +getaddrinfo() +function) and forwards them to a list of DNS caches. It provides the +client with the first answer it gets, trimming the answer so it fits +in an UDP packet. +

+ +

+ dnsfunnel is especially useful for distributions using the +musl libc, which does not support +TCP DNS transport. It was originally written to be used in the +Alpine Linux distribution. +

+ +
