Raw Blame History

# RVPN Server
## restructured-http
- 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)
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)
There is now a connection manager that dynamically allows new GenericListeners to start on different ports when needed....
```go
newListener := NewListenerRegistration(initialPort)
gl.register <- newListener
```
A new listener is created by sending a NewListenerRegistration on the channel.
```go
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
}
listenerRegistration.status = listenerAdded
listenerRegistration.commCh <- listenerRegistration
```
Once the lister is fired up, I sends back a regisration status to the manager along with the new Listener and status.
### Build

```
### Connect Admin
- add a host entry
```
127.0.0.1 tunnel.example.com rvpn.daplie.invalid
```
```bash
browse https://rvpn.daplie.invalid:8443
```
### Send some traffic
- run the RVPN (as above)

- browse http://127.0.0.1:8443 && https://127.0.0.1:8443
- observe
```bash
hcamacho@Hanks-MBP:node-tunnel-client $ bin/stunnel.js --locals http://hfc.daplie.me:8443,http://test.hfc.daplie.me:3001,http://127.0.0.1:8080 --stunneld wss://localhost.daplie.me:8443 --secret abc123

Looks like it aborts for some reaon. I have this problem on on a new installation as well.

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.
