Status and License

jaraco.net provides miscellaneous utility functions used across projects developed by the author.

jaraco.net is written by Jason R. Coombs. It is licensed under an MIT-style permissive license.

DNS Forwarding Service

jaraco.net includes a DNS forwarding service for Windows. This is because Microsoft appears to be unable to bind to 6 to 4 and Teredo addresses with their production DNS Server. After installing jaraco.net, the service executable is available as %PYTHON%Scriptsdns-forward-service.exe. In addition to the documented install/uninstall/start/stop commands, it’s also possible to configure a bind address with the -b option. For example:

dns-forward-service -b 2002:41de:a625::41de:a625 install

The service will be installed and the bind address will be stored in HKLMSoftwarejaraco.netDNS Forwarding ServiceListen Address. Note that the service must be restarted to recognize an updated bind address.
