Udprelay

Udprelay implements a trivial symmetrical UDP relay. After start, it "opens" two
UDP ports and waits for clients. When clients are connected, the tool sends data
received from one of them to another and vice versa.
Typical use case is to allow UDP clients behind different NATs to talk to each other.

One (and maybe the only) application is to help Mosh client
to connect to Mosh server behind NAT while staying behind another NAT. Details are
described in this StackOverflow answer.

Usage

To build, just make install. The only mode of operation is:

$ udprelay bind-ip port-a port-b

where bind-ip is an IP to bind both ports to (like 0.0.0.0), port-a and port-b are UDP ports to
wait messages from.

Limitations

• No security. The encription is up to user.
• Absolutely no security. Application doesn't attempt to track port-a and
  port-b remote credentials. Instead, it just sends one hand's data to the last
  seen address of another hand.
• Udprelay drops packets from one hand before it knows the remote credentials of
  the other hand.

Debugging

The following tools may be usful:

• strace
• tcpdump -i IFACE udp portrange PORTA-PORTB -vv -X -n
