# RVPN Server
2017-03-03 03:32:53 +00:00
## branch: passing-traffic
- code now passes traffic using just daplie tools
- this will require serve-https and node-tunnel-client to work
### Build RVPN
```bash
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:go-rvpn-server $ go get
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:go-rvpn-server $ go build
```
### Setup Some Entries
```bash
127.0.0.1 tunnel.example.com rvpn.daplie.invalid hfc2.daplie.me hfc.daplie.me
```
### Start Up Webserver
```bash
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:tmp $ cd /tmp
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:tmp $ vi index.html --- Place some index content
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:tmp $ serve-https -p 8080 -d /tmp --servername hfc.daplie.me --agree-tos --email henry.f.camacho@gmail.com
```
### Start Tunnel Client
```bash
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:node-tunnel-client $ bin/stunnel.js --locals http://hfc.daplie.me:8080,http://test1.hfc.daplie.me:8080 --stunneld wss://localhost.daplie.me:8443 --secret abc123
```
### Execute RVPN
```bash
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:go-rvpn-server $ ./go-rvpn-server

### Browse via tunnel
2017-03-03 03:32:53 +00:00
2017-03-04 18:18:08 +00:00
https://hfc.daplie.me:8443
- You'll notice that the browser is redirected to 8080 after accepting the cert. I see a meta-refresh coming back from the serve-https
- The traffic is getting back to the client.

- this set of code works great if I am running the node-tunnel-client on a different machine with apache as a web server.
- need to work through why serve-https thinks the traffic is inecure.

## restructured-http
2017-02-16 23:59:25 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
- connection handling has been totally rewritten.
- on a specific port RVPN can determine the following:
- if a connection is encrypted or not encrypted
- if a request is a wss_client
- if a request is an admin/api request
- if a request is a plain (to be forwarded) http request
- or if a request is a different protocol (perhaps SSH)
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
To accomplish the above RVPN uses raw TCP sockets, buffered readers, and a custom Listener. This allows protocol detection (multiple services on one port)
If we expose 443 and 80 to maximize the ability for tunnel clients and south bound traffic, the RVPN is able to deal with this traffic on a limited number of ports, and the most popular ports.
It is possible now to meter any point of the connection (not Interface Level, rather TCP)
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
There is now a connection manager that dynamically allows new GenericListeners to start on different ports when needed....
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
```go
newListener := NewListenerRegistration(initialPort)
gl.register < - newListener
```
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
A new listener is created by sending a NewListenerRegistration on the channel.
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
```go
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
ln, err := net.ListenTCP("tcp", listenAddr)
if err != nil {
loginfo.Println("unable to bind", err)
listenerRegistration.status = listenerFault
listenerRegistration.err = err
listenerRegistration.commCh < - listenerRegistration
return
}
2017-02-15 23:53:34 +00:00
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
listenerRegistration.status = listenerAdded
listenerRegistration.commCh < - listenerRegistration
2017-02-16 23:59:25 +00:00
2017-02-14 02:53:27 +00:00
```
2017-02-26 23:27:38 +00:00
Once the lister is fired up, I sends back a regisration status to the manager along with the new Listener and status.

A Poor Man's Reverse VPN written in Go
Context
-------
Even in the worst of conditions the fanciest of firewalls can't stop a WebSocket
running over https from creating a secure tunnel.
Whether at home behind a router that lacks UPnP compliance, at school, work,
the library - or even on an airplane, we want any device (or even a browser or
app) to be able to serve from anywhere.
Motivation
----------
We originally wrote this in node.js as
[node-tunnel-server ](https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/node-tunnel-server ),
but there are a few problems:
* metering
* resource utilization
* binary transfer
### metering
We want to be able to meter all traffic on a socket.
In node.js it wasn't feasible to be able to track the original socket handle
all the way back from the web socket authentication through the various
wrappers.
A user connects via a websocket to the tunnel server
and an authentication token is presented.
If the connection is established the socket should then be metered and reported
including total bytes sent and received and size of payload bytes sent and
received (because the tunnelling adds some overhead).
### resource utilization
node.js does not support usage of multiple cores in-process.
The overhead of passing socket connections between processes seemed non-trivial
at best and likely much less efficient, and impossible at worst.
### binary transfer
node.js doesn't handle binary data very well. People will be transferring
gigabytes of data.
Short Term Goal
----
Build a server compatible with the node.js client (JWT authentication)
that can meter authenticated connections, utilize multiple cores efficiently,
and efficienty garbage collect gigabytes upon gigabytes of transfer.
