- services.iodined moved to services.iodine
- configuration file backwards compatable
- old iodine server configuration moved to services.iodine.server
- attribute set services.iodine.clients added to specify any number
of iodine clients
- example:
iodine.clients.home = { server = "iodinesubdomain.yourserver.com"; ... };
- client services names iodine-name where name would be home
Previously, the cisco resolver was used on the theory that it would
provide the best user experience regardless of location. The downsides
of cisco are 1) logging; 2) missing supoprt for DNS security extensions.
The new upstream resolver is located in Holland, supports DNS security,
and *claims* to not log activity. For users outside of Europe, this will
mean reduced performance, but I believe it's a worthy tradeoff.
When iodined tries to start before any interface other than loopback has an ip, iodined fails.
Wait for ip-up.target
The above is because of the following:
in iodined's code: src/common.c line 157
the flag AI_ADDRCONFIG is passed as a flag to getaddrinfo.
Iodine uses the function
get_addr(char *host,
int port,
int addr_family,
int flags,
struct sockaddr_storage *out);
to get address information via getaddrinfo().
Within get_addr, the flag AI_ADDRCONFIG is forced.
What this flag does, is cause getaddrinfo to return
"Name or service not known" as an error explicitly if no ip
has been assigned to the computer.
see getaddrinfo(3)
Wait for an ip before starting iodined.
This patch fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12927.
It would be great to configure good rate-limiting defaults for this via
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ratelimit and /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp/ratelimit,
too, but I didn't since I don't know what a "good default" would be.
Some users may wish to improve their privacy by using per-query
key pairs, which makes it more difficult for upstream resolvers to
track users across IP addresses.
- fix `enable` option description
using `mkEnableOption longDescription` is incorrect; override
`description` instead
- additional details for proper usage of the service, including
an example of the recommended configuration
- clarify `localAddress` option description
- clarify `localPort` option description
- clarify `customResolver` option description
