DESCRIPTION
-----------

*uAnytun* is a tiny implementation of the Secure Anycast Tunneling Protocol
(SATP). It provides a complete VPN solution similar to OpenVPN or
IPsec in tunnel mode. The main difference is that anycast enables the
setup of tunnels between an arbitrary combination of anycast, unicast
and multicast hosts. Unlike Anytun which is a full featured implementation 
uAnytun has no support for multiple connections or synchronisation. It is a 
small single threaded implementation intended to act as a client on small 
platforms.

OPTIONS
-------

*uAnytun* has been designed as a peer to peer application, so there is
no difference between client and server. The following options can be
passed to the daemon:

-D|--nodaemonize
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This option instructs *uAnytun* to run in the foreground
instead of becoming a daemon which is the default.

-C|--chroot
~~~~~~~~~~~

Instruct *uAnytun* to run in a chroot chail and drop privileges. The 
default is not to run in chroot.

-u|--username <username>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if chroot change to this user. default: nobody

-H|--chroot-dir <directory>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

chroot to this directory. default: /var/run/uanytun

-P|--write-pid <filename>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instruct *uAnytun* to write it's pid to this file. The default is 
not to create a pid file.

-i|--interface <ip address>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This IP address is used as the sender address for outgoing
packets. The default is to not use a special inteface and just
bind on all interfaces.

-p|--port <port>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

local port to bind to

The local UDP port that is used to send and receive the
payload data. The two tunnel endpoints can use different
ports. default: 4444

-r|--remote-host <hostname|ip>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

remote host

This option can be used to specify the remote tunnel
endpoint. In case of anycast tunnel endpoints, the
anycast IP address has to be used. If you do not specify
an address, it is automatically determined after receiving
the first data packet.

-o|--remote-port <port>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

remote port

The UDP port used for payload data by the remote host
(specified with -p on the remote host). If you do not specify
a port, it is automatically determined after receiving
the first data packet.

-d|--dev <name>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

device name

By default, tapN is used for Ethernet tunnel interfaces,
and tunN for IP tunnels, respectively. This option can
be used to manually override these defaults.

-t|--type <tun|tap>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

device type

Type of the tunnels to create. Use tap for Ethernet
tunnels, tun for IP tunnels.

-n|--ifconfig <local> <remote|netmask>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*<local>* the local IP address for the tun/tap device

*<remote|netmask>* the remote IP address (tun) or netmask (tap)

In tap/Ethernet tunnel mode:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The local IP address and subnet mask of the tunnel
interface, in ifconfig style. The remote tunnel endpoint
has to use a different IP address in the same subnet.

In tun/IP tunnel mode:

The local IP address of the tunnel interface and the
IP address of the tunnel interface on the remote tunnel
endpoint.

-x|--post-up-script <script>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This option instructs *uAnytun* to run this script after the interface 
is created. By default no script will be executed.

-s|--sender-id  <sender id>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each anycast tunnel endpoint needs a uniqe sender id
(1, 2, 3, ...). It is needed to distinguish the senders
in case of replay attacks. As *uAnytun* does not support 
synchronisation it can't be used as an anycast endpoint therefore 
this option is quite useless. default: 0

-w|--window-size <window size>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

seqence window size

Sometimes, packets arrive out of order on the receiver
side. This option defines the size of a list of received
packets' sequence numbers. If, according to this list,
a received packet has been previously received or has
been transmitted in the past, and is therefore not in
the list anymore, this is interpreted as a replay attack
and the packet is dropped. A value of 0 deactivates this
list and, as a consequence, the replay protection employed
by filtering packets according to their secuence number.
By default the sequence window is disabled and therefore a
window size of 0 is used.

-m|--mux <mux-id>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the multiplex id to use. default: 0

-c|--cipher <cipher type>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

payload encryption algorithm

Encryption algorithm used for encrypting the payload

Possible values:

* *null* - no encryption
* *aes-ctr* - AES in counter mode with 128 Bits, default value
* *aes-ctr-128* - AES in counter mode with 128 Bits
* *aes-ctr-192* - AES in counter mode with 192 Bits
* *aes-ctr-256* - AES in counter mode with 256 Bits

-a|--auth-algo <algo type>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

message authentication algorithm

This option sets the message authentication algorithm.

Possible values:

* *null* - no message authentication
* *sha1* - HMAC-SHA1, default value

If HMAC-SHA1 is used, the packet length is increased by
10 bytes. These 10 bytes contain the authentication data.

-k|--kd--prf <kd-prf type>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

key derivation pseudo random function.

The pseudo random function which is used for calculating the 
session keys and session salt.

Possible values:

* *null* - no random function, keys and salt are set to 0..00
* *aes-ctr* - AES in counter mode with 128 Bits, default value
* *aes-ctr-128* - AES in counter mode with 128 Bits
* *aes-ctr-192* - AES in counter mode with 192 Bits
* *aes-ctr-256* - AES in counter mode with 256 Bits

-l|--ld-kdr <ld-kdr>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The log2 of the key derivation rate. This is used by the key
derivation to determine how ofen a new session key has to be
generated. A value of -1 means to generate only one key and use
it forever. The default is 0 which means to calculate a new key
for every packet. A value of 1 would tell the key derivation
to generate a new key after 2 packets, for 2 its 4 packets and 
so on.

-E|--passphrase <pass phrase>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This passphrase is used to generate the master key and master salt.
For the master key the last n bits of the SHA256 digest of the 
passphrase (where n is the length of the master key in bits) is used. 
The master salt gets generated with the SHA1 digest. 
You may force a specific key and or salt by using *--key* and *--salt*.

-K|--key <master key>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

master key to use for key derivation

Master key in hexadecimal notation, eg
01a2b3c4d5e6f708a9b0cadbecfd0fa1, with a mandatory length
of 32, 48 or 64 characters (128, 192 or 256 bits).

-A|--salt <master salt>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

master salt to use for key derivation

Master salt in hexadecimal notation, eg
01a2b3c4d5e6f708a9b0cadbecfd, with a mandatory length
of 28 characters (14 bytes).

EXAMPLES
--------
