Usage

Usage: python -m dns_local [OPTIONS]

  Start a DNS implemented in Python

Options:
  --bind TEXT      bind address
  --tcp            enable TCP server
  --udp            enable UDP server
  --domain TEXT    domain reply (e.g. example\\.com:127.0.0.1)
  --fallback TEXT  fallback dns server (e.g. 8.8.8.8)
  --help           Show this message and exit.

For example, consider the following usage:

python3 -m dns_local --bind 192.168.2.1:53 --udp --fallback 8.8.8.8 --domain kaki:192.168.2.1 --domain kaki2:192.168.2.1

This will start a udp DNS server listening at 192.168.2.1:53 with the two entries:

  • kaki1 -> 192.168.2.1
  • kaki2 -> 192.168.2.1

And use Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8) as a fallback for any entry not in given domain list.

Domains also support regex patterns. For example, the following will forward all domains to 127.0.0.1, except for google.com which will be forwarded to 8.8.8.8:

python3 -m dns_local --bind 192.168.2.1:53 --udp --domain "google\\.com:8.8.8.8" --domain ".*:127.0.0.1"
