stunclient - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

stunclient - command line app for the STUN protocol

SYNOPSIS

stunclient [OPTIONS] server [port]

DESCRIPTION

stunclient attempts to discover the local host's own external IP address, obtain a port
mapping, and optionally discover properties of the Network Address Translator (NAT)
between the host and the the server.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported.

--mode MODE
--localaddr INTERFACE
--localport PORTNUMBER
--family IPVERSION
--protocol PROTO
--verbosity LOGLEVEL
--help

Details of each option and parameters are as follows.

server

The server parameter is the IP address or FQDN of the remote server to perform the binding
tests with. It is the only required parameter.

* * * * *

port

The port parameter is an optional parameter that can follow the server parameter. The
default is 3478 for UDP and TCP.

* * * * *

--mode MODE

Where MODE is either "basic" or "full". "basic" mode is the default and indicates that
the client should perform a STUN binding test only. "full" mode indicates that the client
should attempt to diagnose NAT behavior and filtering methodologies if the server supports
this mode. The NAT filtering test is only supported for UDP.

* * * * *

--localaddr INTERFACE or IPADDRESS

The value for this option may the name of an interface (such as "eth0" or "lo"). Or it
may be one of the available IP addresses assigned to a network interface present on the
host (such as "128.23.45.67"). The interface chosen will be the preferred address for
sending and receiving responses with the remote server. The default is to let the system
decide which address to send on and to listen for responses on all addresses (INADDR_ANY).

* * * * *

--localport PORTNUM

PORTNUM is a value between 1 to 65535. This is the UDP or TCP port that the primary and
alternate interfaces listen on as the primary port for binding requests. If not
specified, a randomly available port chosen by the system is used.

* * * * *

--family IPVERSION

IPVERSION is either "4" or "6" to specify the usage of IPV4 or IPV6. If not specified,
the default value is "4".

* * * * *

--protocol PROTO

PROTO is either "udp" or "tcp". "udp" is the default if this parameter is not specified

* * * * *

--verbosity LOGLEVEL

Sets the verbosity of the logging level. 0 is the default (minimal output and logging).
1 shows slightly more. 2 and higher shows even more.

* * * * *

--help Prints this help page

EXAMPLES

stunclient stunserver.org 3478
Performs a simple binding test request with the server listening at
"stunserver.org"

stunclient --mode full --localport 9999 12.34.56.78
Performs a full set of UDP NAT behavior tests from local port 9999 to the server
listening at IP Address 12.34.56.78 (port 3478)

stunclient --protocol tcp stun.selbie.com
Performs a simple binding test using TCP to server listening on the default port of
3478 at stun.selbie.com
