Udp2raw-tunnel - A UDP Tunnel which tunnels UDP via FakeTCP/UDP/ICMP Traffic by using Raw Socket [Bypass UDP FireWalls]


A UDP Tunnel which tunnels UDP via FakeTCP/UDP/ICMP Traffic by using Raw Socket, helps you Bypass UDP FireWalls (or Unstable UDP Environment). Its Encrypted, Anti-Replay and Multiplexed.It also acts as a Connection Stabilizer.

Support Platforms
A Linux host (including desktop Linux, Android phone/tablet, OpenWRT router, or Raspberry PI) with root access.
For Winodws/MacOS, a virtual image with udp2raw pre-installed has been released, you can load it with Vmware/VirtualBox.The virtual image has been set to auto obtain ip, udp2raw can be run immediately after boot finished(make sure network mode of virtual machine has been set to bridged)(only udp2raw has to be run under a virtual machine, all other programs run under Windows/MacOS as usual).

Features

Send / Receive UDP Packet with fake-tcp/icmp headers
Fake-tcp/icmp headers help you bypass UDP blocking, UDP QOS or improper UDP NAT behavior on some ISPs. Raw packets with UDP headers are also supported.In UDP header mode, it behaves just like a normal UDP tunnel, and you can just make use of the other features.

Simulate TCP Handshake
Simulates the 3-way handshake, along with seq and ack_seq. TCP options MSS, sackOk, TS, TS_ack, wscale are also simulated. Real-time delivery guaranteed, no TCP over TCP problem when using OpenVPN.

Encryption, Anti-Replay, No MITM
  • Encrypt your traffic with AES-128-CBC.
  • Protect data integrity by MD5 or CRC32.
  • Defense replay attack with an anti-replay window, similar to IPSec and OpenVPN.
  • Authenticate mutually, no MITM attacks.

Failure Detection & Stabilization (Connection Recovery)
Connection failures are detected by heartbeats. If timed-out, the client will automatically change port number and reconnect. If reconnection is successful, the previous connection will be recovered, and all existing UDP conversations will stay valid.
For example, if you use UDP2RAW + OpenVPN, OpenVPN won't lose connection after any reconnect, even if the network cable is re-plugged or the WiFi access point is changed.

Other Features
  • Multiplexing One client can handle multiple UDP connections, all of which share the same raw connection.
  • Multiple Clients One server can have multiple clients.
  • NAT Support All of the 3 modes work in NAT environments.
  • OpenVZ Support Tested on BandwagonHost.
  • OpenWRT Support No dependencies, easy to build. Binary for ar71xx are included in release.

Getting Started

Installing
Download binary release from https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw-tunnel/releases

Running
Assume your UDP is blocked or being QOS-ed or just poorly supported. Assume your server ip is 44.55.66.77, you have a service listening on udp port 7777.
# Run at server side:
 ./udp2raw_amd64 -s -l0.0.0.0:4096 -r 127.0.0.1:7777  -a -k "passwd" --raw-mode faketcp
 
 # Run at client side
 ./udp2raw_amd64 -c -l0.0.0.0:3333  -r44.55.66.77:4096 -a -k "passwd" --raw-mode faketcp

Server Output:


Client Output:

Now, an encrypted raw tunnel has been established between client and server through TCP port 4096. Connecting to UDP port 3333 at the client side is equivalent to connecting to port 7777 at the server side. No UDP traffic will be exposed.

Note
to run on Android, see Android_Guide

IPTABLES rule
This program sends packets via raw socket. In FakeTCP mode, Linux kernel TCP packet processing has to be blocked by a iptables rule on both sides, otherwise the kernel will automatically send RST for an unrecongized TCP packet and you will sustain from stability / peformance problems. You can use -a option to let the program automatically add / delete iptables rule on start / exit. You can also use the -g option to generate iptables rule and add it manually.

cipher-mode and auth-mode
It is suggested to use aes128cbc + md5 to obtain maximum security. If you want to run the program on a router, you can try xor + simple, which can fool packet inspection by firewalls the most of time, but it cannot protect you from serious attacks. Mode none is only for debugging purpose. It is not recommended to set the cipher-mode or auth-mode to none.

seq-mode
The FakeTCP mode does not behave 100% like a real tcp connection. ISPs may be able to distinguish the simulated tcp traffic from the real TCP traffic (though it's costly). seq-mode can help you change the seq increase behavior slightly. If you experience connection problems, try to change the value.

Peformance Test

Test method:
iperf3 TCP via OpenVPN + udp2raw (iperf3 UDP mode is not used because of a bug mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/esnet/iperf/issues/296 . Instead, we package the TCP traffic into UDP by OpenVPN to test the performance. Read Application for details.

iperf3 command:
iperf3 -c 10.222.2.1 -P40 
 iperf3 -c 10.222.2.1 -P40 -R

Environments
  • Client Vultr $2.5/monthly plan (single core 2.4GHz cpu, 512MB RAM, Tokyo, Japan)
  • Server BandwagonHost $3.99/annually plan (single core 2.0GHz cpu, 128MB RAM, Los Angeles, USA)

Test1
raw_mode: faketcp cipher_mode: xor  auth_mode: simple


(reverse speed was simliar and not uploaded)

Test2
raw_mode: faketcp cipher_mode: aes128cbc  auth_mode: md5


(reverse speed was simliar and not uploaded)

Application

tunneling any traffic via raw traffic by using udp2raw +openvpn

  1. bypasses UDP block/UDP QOS
  2. no TCP ovr tcp problem (tcp over tcp problem http://sites.inka.de/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html , https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/2 )
  3. openvpn over icmp also becomes a choice
more details at openvpn+udp2raw_guide

speed-up tcp connection via raw traffic by using udp2raw+kcptun
kcptun is a tcp connection speed-up program, it speeds-up tcp connection by using kcp protocol on-top of udp.by using udp2raw, you can use kcptun while udp is QoSed or blocked. (kcptun, https://github.com/xtaci/kcptun)

speed-up tcp connection via raw traffic by using udp2raw+finalspeed
finalspeed is a tcp connection speed-up program similiar to kcptun, it speeds-up tcp connection by using kcp protocol on-top of udp or tcp.but its tcp mode doesnt support openvz, you can bypass this problem if you use udp2raw+finalspeed together, and icmp mode also becomes avaliable.

Other

Easier installation on ArchLinux
yaourt -S udp2raw-tunnel # or
