UDP Forwarding Daemon.
This is super simple (~ 100 loc) and reliable UDP forwarder/proxy written in Golang.
To install ufwd go to releases page and pick latest package. Download
it and unpack with desired prefix:
$ unzip -d /usr/local ufwd-*.zip
The package has no external dependencies and is easily go-installable:
$ go install gitbub.com/mirstack/ufwd
You can also download it and build manually.
$ git clone https://github.com/mirstack/ufwd.git
$ cd ufwd
$ go build . && go install .
Here's an example of a forwarding server:
$ ufwd :514 syslog.domain.com:514
In this example all the local UDP connections on port 514 will be passed through to
a syslog server running on port 514 of syslog.domain.com host.
Check ufwd -h for list of all available options.
Of course, saying that ufwd is a daemon is quite too much. It's mechanism is the simplest
possible - if any error encountered, then exit and start over (via external supervisor).
The app is intend to run as a daemon, thus the d suffix in the name.
Not much to say. If you wanna hack on ufwd just clone the repo and play with the
code. You can run the tests at any time with standard go test tool:
$ go test .
To build a new release use bundled make target called pack:
$ make pack
It will wrap the binary and other needed files into a zip archive and save
it to pkg/ufwd-x.y.z-{os}-{arch}.zip.
