nipe

We have hosted the application nipe in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about nipe:

Nipe is a Perl-based engine whose primary aim is to make the Tor network act as the default gateway for outgoing traffic. In practice, it configures system firewall rules (iptables) and network routing so that almost all IPv4 traffic is redirected through Tor. The tool provides commands such as install, start, stop, restart, and status to manage its behavior. When �start� is issued, it sets up the necessary rules; when �stop� is used, it attempts to remove those rules. Nipe currently operates over IPv4 and does not yet support IPv6, meaning that users with IPv6 connectivity may bypass Tor routing. It includes a Dockerfile to facilitate containerized usage, requiring sufficient network capabilities (e.g. NET_ADMIN) inside the container. Behind the scenes, the code is modular: for instance, parts of the logic around installation and utility functions are separated into Perl modules (e.g. in lib/Nipe/Utils/Install.pm).

Features:

• Full IPv6 routing support through Tor
• Per-application or per-process routing (so only selected apps go through Tor)
• DNS leak protection / DNS tunneling through Tor
• Rule versioning and rollback to avoid accidental removal of user firewall rules
• Web or GUI dashboard to monitor status, logs, and traffic statistics
• Integration with systemd (or equivalent) for auto-start at boot time

Programming Language: Perl.
