DNS Enabler 4.0.3 gives you a handy and polished tool which can be used by Mac users to easily and quickly set up a fully-functional Domain Name Server on a plain Mac OS X machine. It is designed to allow a user to set up domain name information quickly using a single window, in the fastest time.
DNS Enabler provides the interface to allow users to specify name-to-address mappings for machines on the Internet, as well as their aliases or MX records (which specify that certain machines act as mail servers for the domain). Additionally, it allows users to set the other domain and zone information, like the Time-To-Live intervals that determine how long these information remain valid.
It will automatically generate the appropriate named.conf file, the forward mapping files for each domain, the reverse mapping files for each network, and all the resource and reverse pointer records from the specifications entered.
Enhancements: Enlarged the data entry field for Virtual Domains into multiple lines.

FoxyProxy for Thunderbird 2.13
FoxyProxy for Thunderbird provides you with a powerful and open-source advanced, yet free proxy management tool which can replace Firefoxs limited proxying capabilities. more>>
FoxyProxy for Thunderbird 2.13 provides you with a powerful and open-source advanced, yet free proxy management tool which can replace Firefox's limited proxying capabilities. It automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL and IP patterns.
Put simply, FoxyProxy automates the manual process of editing Firefox's Connection Settings dialog. Proxy server switching occurs based on the loading URL and the switching rules you define. Animated icons show you when a proxy is in use. Advanced logging shows you which proxies were used and when. QuickAdd makes it a snap to create new URL patterns on-the-fly. FoxyProxy is fully compatible with Portable Firefox, has better support for PAC files than Firefox itself, and is translated into more than 25 languages.
Major Features:
- Animated statusbar/toolbar icons show you when a proxy is in use
- Define multiple proxies
- Define which proxy to use (or none!) for arbitrary URLs using wildcards, regular expressions, whitelists, blacklists, and other conveniences
- No more wondering whether a URL loaded through a proxy or not: FoxyProxy optionally logs all URLs, including which proxy was used (if any), which pattern was matched, timestamps, etc.
- Out-of-the-box support for Tor with the unique Tor Wizard - zero configuration!
- Temporarily or permanently dedicate all URLs to go through a particular proxy
- Temporarily or permanently disable use of a proxy
- Automatically add blocked sites to a proxy and have them reload through the proxy
- Optional status bar information about which proxy is currently in use
- Complete Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) support
- Download a link using one of your defined proxies with a simple right-click (coming soon)
- Unobtrusive presence, stable execution, premier support
- Optionally force Firefox to perform DNS lookups through a SOCKS4a/5 server. Note that Firefox without FoxyProxy always performs DNS lookups through a SOCKS5 server if you've defined one. Only with FoxyProxy can you instruct Firefox to not use defined SOCKS5 servers for DNS lookups.

<<lessiodine 0.5.2
Free IPv4 over DNS tunneling client more>> Free IPv4 over DNS tunneling client
This can be usable in different situations where internet access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed.
iodine runs on Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD and needs a TUN/TAP device.
The bandwidth is assymetrical with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream.
The name iodine was chosen since it starts with IOD (IP Over DNS) and since
iodine has atomic number 53, which happens to be the DNS port number.
NOTE: iodine is licensed and distributed under the terms of the ISC license.
Main features:
- iodine uses the NULL type that allows the downstream data to be sent without encoding. Each DNS reply can contain nearly a kilobyte of payload data.
- iodine runs on many different UNIX-like systems. Tunnels can be set up between two hosts no matter their endianness or operating system.
- iodine uses challenge-response login secured by MD5 hash. It also filters out any packets not coming from the IP used when logging in.
- iodine handles setting IP number on interfaces automatically, and up to 8 users can share one server at the same time.
Enhancements
- Fixed client segfault on OS X
- Added check that nameserver lookup was successful
- Fixed ENOTSOCK error on OS X and FreeBSD

Zoner 1.4.1
Zoner offers users a free and open source web application used for DNS zone managing. more>> Zoner 1.4.1 offers users a free and open source web application used for DNS zone managing. The authoritative copy of each domain remains in the original zone file, which Zoner reads & writes as needed, as opposed to storing domain details in a database. This means that zone files can still be edited manually and Zoner will pick up the changes as necessary.
Major Features:
- Domain details remain in original zone files, not in a database.
- Zoner reads & writes actual zone files, which can also be safely modified outside of Zoner.
- Zone serial numbers are incremented automatically when changes are made.

- An audit of all zone changes is maintained for each domain. Any previous version of a zone file can be inspected and zones can be rolled back to any previous version.
Requirements:
- Zoner is a Python application built with the TurboGears framework. Both Python and TurboGears (version 1.x) are required.
- Zoner requires the easyzone and dnspython Python packages for DNS/zone management.
