HevSocks5Tunnel

A tunnel over Socks5 proxy (tun2socks) for Unix.

Features

• IPv4/IPv6. (dual stack)
• Redirect TCP connections.
• Redirect UDP packets. (Fullcone NAT, UDP in UDP/TCP)
• Linux/Android/FreeBSD/macOS/iOS/WSL2.

How to Use

Config

tunnel:
  # Interface name
  name: tun0
  # Interface MTU
  mtu: 8500
  # Multi-queue
  multi-queue: false
  # IPv4 address
  ipv4: 198.18.0.1
  # IPv6 address
  ipv6: 'fc00::1'
  # Post up script
# post-up-script: up.sh
  # Pre down script
# pre-down-script: down.sh

socks5:
  # Socks5 server port
  port: 1080
  # Socks5 server address (ipv4/ipv6)
  address: 127.0.0.1
  # Socks5 UDP relay mode (tcp|udp)
  udp: 'udp'
  # Socks5 handshake using pipeline mode
# pipeline: false
  # Socks5 server username
# username: 'username'
  # Socks5 server password
# password: 'password'
  # Socket mark
# mark: 0

#misc:
   # task stack size (bytes)
#  task-stack-size: 86016
   # tcp buffer size (bytes)
#  tcp-buffer-size: 65536
   # connect timeout (ms)
#  connect-timeout: 5000
   # read-write timeout (ms)
#  read-write-timeout: 60000
   # stdout, stderr or file-path
#  log-file: stderr
   # debug, info, warn or error
#  log-level: warn
   # If present, run as a daemon with this pid file
#  pid-file: /run/hev-socks5-tunnel.pid
   # If present, set rlimit nofile; else use default value
#  limit-nofile: 65535

Run

Linux

# Set socks5.mark = 438
bin/hev-socks5-tunnel conf/main.yml

# Bypass upstream socks5 server
sudo ip rule add fwmark 438 lookup main pref 10
sudo ip -6 rule add fwmark 438 lookup main pref 10

# Route others
sudo ip route add default dev tun0 table 20
sudo ip rule add lookup 20 pref 20
sudo ip -6 route add default dev tun0 table 20
sudo ip -6 rule add lookup 20 pref 20

FreeBSD/macOS

# Bypass upstream socks5 server
# 10.0.0.1: socks5 server
# 10.0.2.2: default gateway
sudo route add -net 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.2.2

# Route others
sudo route change -inet default -interface utun99
sudo route change -inet6 default -interface utun99

Low memory usage

On low-memory systems like iOS, reducing the size of the TCP buffer and task stack can help prevent out-of-memory issues.

misc:
  # task stack size (bytes)
  task-stack-size: 24576 # 20480 + tcp-buffer-size
  # tcp buffer size (bytes)
  tcp-buffer-size: 4096

      SOCKS5_UDP_MODE: udp # optional, UDP relay mode, default `udp`, other option `tcp`
      IPV4_INCLUDED_ROUTES: 0.0.0.0/0 # optional, demo means proxy all traffic. for multiple network segments, join with `,` or `\n`
      IPV4_EXCLUDED_ROUTES: a.b.c.d # optional, demo means exclude traffic from the proxy itself. for multiple network segments, join with `,` or `\n`

You can also set the route rules with multiple network segments like:

    environment:
      IPV4_INCLUDED_ROUTES: 10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16
      IPV4_EXCLUDED_ROUTES: |-
        a.b.c.d/24
        a.b.c.f/24
