Kaminari

Blazing-fast websocket tunnel built on top of lightws.

Intro

• Client side receives tcp then sends [tcp/ws/tls/wss].

• Server side receives [tcp/ws/tls/wss] then sends tcp.

• Compatible with shadowsocks SIP003 plugin.

Usage

Standalone:

kaminaric <local_addr> <remote_addr> <options>

kaminaris <local_addr> <remote_addr> <options>

As shadowsocks plugin:

sslocal ... --plugin <path/to/kaminaric> --plugin-opts <options>

ssserver ... --plugin <path/to/kaminaris> --plugin-opts <options>

Options

All options are presented in a single formatted string. An example is "ws;path=/ws;host=example.com", where semicolons, equal signs and backslashes MUST be escaped with a backslash.

Below is a list of availabe options, * means must.

Websocket Options

use ws to enable websocket.

Client or server side options:

• host=<host>* : set http host.

• path=<path>* : set http path.

Client side extra options:

• mask=<mode> : set mask mode. Available values: [skipped, standard, fixed]

About Mask Mode

A websocket client should mask the payload before sending it.

With mode=skip(default mode), we use an empty mask key(0x00..0) to simply skip masking, which can also be detected by our server, and then skip unmasking. Other softwares(Nginx, Haproxy, CDNs..) can still correctly handle our data without knowing this trick.

As for mode=fixed or mode=standard, client will mask the payload data as normal. In fixed mode, client will use the same mask key for a unique websocket connection. While In standard mode, client will update the mask key between sending each frames.

TLS Options

use tls to enable tls.

Client side options:

• sni=<sni>* : set sni.

• alpn=<alpn>: set alpn. e.g.: h2,http/1.1.

• 0rtt: enable early data.

• insecure: skip server cert verification.

Server side options:

Requires either cert+key or servername.

• key=<path/to/key>* : private key path.

• cert=<path/to/cert>* : certificate path.

• servername=<name>* : generate self signed cert/key, use $name as CN.

• ocsp=<path/to/ocsp>: der-encoded OCSP response.

OCSP Stapling

See Wikipedia.

Openssl example for Let's Encrypt:

openssl ocsp -issuer <path/to/ca> \
    -cert <path/to/cert> \
    -url http://r3.o.lencr.org \
    -header Host=r3.o.lencr.org \
    -respout <path/to/ocsp> -noverify -no_nonce

Examples

tcp ⇋ ws --- ws ⇋ tcp:

kaminaric 127.0.0.1:10000 127.0.0.1:20000 'ws;host=example.com;path=/ws'

kaminaris 127.0.0.1:20000 127.0.0.1:30000 'ws;host=example.com;path=/ws'

tcp ⇋ tls --- tls ⇋ tcp:

kaminaric 127.0.0.1:10000 127.0.0.1:20000 'tls;sni=example.com'

# use cert + key
kaminaris 127.0.0.1:20000 127.0.0.1:30000 'tls;cert=example.com.crt;key=example.com.key'

# or generate self signed cert/key
kaminaris 127.0.0.1:20000 127.0.0.1:30000 'tls;servername=example.com'

tcp ⇋ wss --- wss ⇋ tcp:

kaminaric 127.0.0.1:10000 127.0.0.1:20000 'ws;host=example.com;path=/ws;tls;sni=example.com'

# use cert + key
kaminaris 127.0.0.1:20000 127.0.0.1:30000 'ws;host=example.com;path=/ws;tls;cert=example.com.crt;key=example.com.key'

# or generate self signed cert/key
kaminaris 127.0.0.1:20000 127.0.0.1:30000 'ws;host=example.com;path=/ws;tls;servername=example.com'

shadowsocks plugin:

ssserver -s "0.0.0.0:8080" -m "aes-128-gcm" -k "123456" \
    --plugin "path/to/kaminaris" \
    --plugin-opts "ws;host=example.com;path=/chat"

sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" -s "example.com:8080" -m "aes-128-gcm" -k "123456" \
    --plugin "path/to/kaminaric" \
    --plugin-opts "ws;host=example.com;path=/chat"

*To use v2ray-plugin on client side, add mux=0 to disable multiplex, so that it sends standard websocket stream which can be handled by kaminari or any other middlewares.

sslocal -b "127.0.0.1:1080" -s "example.com:8080" -m "aes-128-gcm" -k "123456" \
    --plugin "path/to/v2ray-plugin" \
    --plugin-opts "mux=0;host=example.com;path=/chat"
