UA4F

中文

Another User Agent faker, allowing users to bypass multi device detection for Campus Network via socks5 proxy.

Inspired by UA3f

Features

• Better performence (i guess)
• Fully written in rust
• Easy to migrate from ua3f
• Compatible with clash

Principle

It will first grab the first few bytes of the first packet to check if it is http traffic. If so, it will continue to grab a total of about 4k of traffic and modify the User Agent in it.

Install

Using prebuilt package

You can find most common pre-built packages in Release.

Download and install it. Then you are ready to use it.

Build Manually

1. Make sure you have installed latest nightly version of rust toolchain and the target corresponding to the target platform. (E.G: x86_64-unknown-linux-musl for x86_64 OpenWrt platform or x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu for x86_64 GNU/Linux)

2. Clone this project

3. Build with cargo

4. You are ready to use. The build result is usually located in target/TARGET_ARCH/release/ua4f

Example Command

# Assuming you are using rustup to manage rust toolchain
rustup default nightly
rustup add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

Build with OpenWrt

1. Make sure you have installed latest nightly version of rust toolchain and the target corresponding to the target platform and use musl as the C library. (E.G: x86_64-unknown-linux-musl for x86_64 platform)

2. Clone this project into the package/ua4f

3. Enable building luci-compat and ua4f package

4. You are ready to build the image or build the package separately.

Example Command

# Assuming you are using rustup to manage rust toolchain
rustup default nightly
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_ua4f=y" >> .config
make defconfig

# Build this package only
make package/ua4f/{clean,compile} V=s -j$(nproc)
# or include in the image
make -j$(nproc)

Configure

By Luci

It can easily configured via luci. The configuration page is located at Service -> UA4F

By command

Assuming you are using OpenWrt. You can run these command to configure and start it as background service.

# Custom UA
uci set ua4f.main.ua="Mozilla/5.0 (Window NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/121.0.0.0 Safari/555.66"
# Listen port
uci set ua4f.main.port="1080"
# Bind address
uci set ua4f.main.bind="127.0.0.1"
# Log level
uci set ua4f.main.log_level="info"

# Apply
uci commit ua3f

# Start service
service ua4f enable
service ua4f start

By systemd

For regular distributions (Like Arch Linux), you will most likely use systemd to manage background services.

In this situation, you need to write the systemd service file. But don't worry, I have provided an example file and just modify it according to your needs.

1. Create file in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ua4f.service

2. Copy these lines below and modify it according your needs.

# Edit the file
vim /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ua4f.service

# Enable and start the service
