Commercial Dante modules

This page describes modules that add extra functionality which can be purchased and used with the standard Dante release.

The modules are licensed on a per IP address basis. The IP address in question is the Dante server's "external" IP address(es) (the "external:" field in your sockd.conf).

Contact sales@inet.no if you which to purchase any of these modules.

Dante module - Redirect

The Redirect module gives control over both where clients requests and replies will end up, aswell as what addresses and portranges the Dante server will use.

It can be used to redirect clients connections from one address to another, useful for cases where you for instance want clients to be automatically sent to a different address from what they intended.

It can be used to restrict the portranges used by the Dante server, useful for cases where a firewall needs to know what portranges the Dante server will use.

Dante module - Bandwidth control

The Bandwidth module gives control over how much bandwidth the Dante server uses on behalf of the different clients.

It can be used to limit bandwidth to non-work related web/ftp sites, or to prevent ftp-related traffic from impacting too much on interactive telnet/ssh traffic.

It can also be used to give more bandwidth to certain clients or for traffic to certain cites.

In addition, when using the Dante bind extension, it can be used to provide bandwidth control to networkservers (like e.g. webservers) that do not support bandwidth control internally.

Dante module - Session control

The Session module gives control over how many sessions socks client can establish.

It can be used to limit the number of connections going to e.g. a particular website, or to limit the number of connections a particular user can create.
