Compile and install

Dependencies: OpenSSL library, libseccomp

• Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libseccomp-dev libssl-dev
• Fedora/CentOS: sudo yum install libseccomp-devel openssl-devel
• Arch Linux: the libraries are already included in the base group

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install-strip

Debian/Ubuntu install:

$ sudo apt-get install fdns_0.9.62_1_amd64.deb

An AppArmor profile is installed in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.fdns. The profile will kick in on Debian and Ubuntu next time you start the computer. Or you can start it manualy:

$ sudo /sbin/apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.fdns

For systemd users, we provide a service file in /etc/fdns/fdns.service.

 

Starting the Proxy at Boot Time

One solution that will work on any Linux computer is to start it from /etc/rc.local.

$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
/usr/bin/fdns --daemonize
exit 0

For systemd users, we place a fdns.service file in /etc/fdns directory. Usage:

cp /etc/fdns/fdns.service /etc/systemd/system/fdns.service

Load the file. Or reboot your system

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start fdns.service

Start fdns when starting the system

systemctl enable fdns.service
