// kernel does not give us this information, so we have to duplicate it
// in both iptables rules and configuration file. By the way, you can
// set `local_ip' to 127.45.67.89 if you need more than 65535 ports to
// forward ;-)
// This limitation may be relaxed in future versions using contrack-tools.
// redsocks knows about two options while redirecting UDP packets at
// linux: TPROXY and REDIRECT. TPROXY requires more complex routing
// configuration and fresh kernel (>= 2.6.37 according to squid
// developers[1]) but has hack-free way to get original destination
// address, REDIRECT is easier to configure, but requires `dest_ip` and
// `dest_port` to be set, limiting packet redirection to single
// destination.

dest_ip = 8.8.8.8;
dest_port = 53;
