A tiny command-line toolkit to tunnel any UDP connection/socket to another machine.
udp-tunnel-cli lets you tunnel any UDP connection/socket. This makes it possible to tunnel listening UDP sockets from one machine to any other endpoint on a different machine (i.e. through firewalls).

Install this package globally using NPM. Most OS need you to be root (e.g. using sudo) to install a global npm package:
$ [sudo] npm -g install udp-tunnel-cliudp-tunnel-cli depends on Node.js. Tested with node v4.3.0.
Start the new endpoint for your tunnel. tunnel-port will wait for the tunnel connection to be set up - initiated by udp-tunnel-client. listen-port will wait for incoming connections and redirect them through the tunnel.
$ udp-tunnel-server <listen-port> <tunnel-port>Start the client (the actual tunnel). Contact the remote server to register the udp-tunnel-client and setup the local server's endpoint you want to tunnel.
$ udp-tunnel-client <remote-addr> <remote-tunnel-port> <local-addr> <local-port>- password protection on handshake
- keep-alive heartbeat
- encryption
- compression

The tunnel connection and server is not protected by any password or encryption. Only use this software if you're fully aware of what you're doing and understand the responsibility!
