A shadowsocks implementation in golang with Multi-connection Acceleration
A shadowsocks implementation in golang with Multi-connection Acceleration.
The code is based on https://github.com/shadowsocks/go-shadowsocks2
==================================================
==================================================
In the original shadowsocks protocal, the data is transmitted in the following way:
client <---> ss-local <--[encrypted]--> ss-remote <---> target
The shadowsocks is used to access blocked servers.
In most common applications, the bottleneck of the bandwidth is the way outside their countries: ss-local<--->ss-remote
.
Is it the best way to communicate in one connection?
With a proper protocol, the ss-local
and ss-remote
can communicate in multi TCP connections,
which will be faster when transferring a large amount of data, especially for those slow VPS.
The following protocol by ihciah is one of them. The implementation in other language is welcome.
Establish the connection to shadowsocks server first.
Send address.
Here I add 2 bits for "Magic": magic-main
(0b01000
) and magic-child
(0b10000
).
After sending the address with magic-main
, the server will reply a 16-byte dataKey
.
Up till now we have 1 connection.
Through the connection, data will be sent back in format [BlockID(uint32)][BlockSize(uint32)][Data([BlckSize]byte)]
.
Of course, it's not acceleration with only 1 connection.
With the dataKey
we can construct an "address" in format [Type([1]byte)][dataKey([16]byte)]
,
the type must be marked as magic-child
.
Now create a new connection and send the 17-byte "address", then the data will be transmitted to the client.
Once the main connection(the first one) is disconnected,
all the other connections will die.
However, it's not a problem if the magic-child
connections interrupted.
Pre-built binaries for common platforms are available at https://github.com/ihciah/go-shadowsocks-magic/releases
Install from source
go get -u -v github.com/ihciah/go-shadowsocks-magic
Start a server listening on port 8488 using RC4-MD5
cipher with password your-password
.
shadowsocks-magic -s 'ss://RC4-MD5:your-password@:8488' -verbose
When deploy, you can close verbose.
Start a client connecting to the above server. The client listens on port 1080 for incoming SOCKS5 connections, and tunnels both UDP and TCP on port 8053 and port 8054 to 8.8.8.8:53 and 8.8.4.4:53 respectively.
shadowsocks-magic -c 'ss://RC4-MD5:your-password@[server_address]:8488' \
-verbose -socks :1080 -u -udptun :8053=8.8.8.8:53,:8054=8.8.4.4:53 \
-tcptun :8053=8.8.8.8:53,:8054=8.8.4.4:53
Replace [server_address]
with the server's public address.
The client offers -redir
and -redir6
(for IPv6) options to handle TCP connections
redirected by Netfilter on Linux. The feature works similar to ss-redir
from shadowsocks-libev
.
Start a client listening on port 1082 for redirected TCP connections and port 1083 for redirected TCP IPv6 connections.
shadowsocks-magic -c 'ss://RC4-MD5:your-password@[server_address]:8488' -redir :1082 -redir6 :1083
The client offers -tcptun [local_addr]:[local_port]=[remote_addr]:[remote_port]
option to tunnel TCP.
For example it can be used to proxy iperf3 for benchmarking.
Start iperf3 on the same machine with the server.
iperf3 -s
By default iperf3 listens on port 5201.
Start a client on the same machine with the server. The client listens on port 1090 for incoming connections and tunnels to localhost:5201 where iperf3 is listening.
shadowsocks-magic -c 'ss://RC4-MD5:your-password@[server_address]:8488' -tcptun :1090=localhost:5201
Start iperf3 client to connect to the tunneld port instead
iperf3 -c localhost -p 1090
