A docker-compose environment to control egress and ingress data from ccxt fronted trading bots for security and scalability/availability.
FreqCache aims to improve Security and Scalbility environmental factors when running CCXT fronted trading bots within docker containers.
TL;DR
- Prevent external DNS poisoning / Hijack routing our API keys to a hacker
- Protect against bot source code, or dependency trying to send your API keys out to hacker
- Place limitting api-cache between bots and internet to prevent hitting api limits(being black listed)
To install FreqCache.
- Clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/creslinux/freqcache.git)
- cd freqcache (the parent directory should keep its 'freqcache' name as expected in generated images/netowrk names)
- run bash setup.sh
- *To uninstall run uninstall.sh
Security in computing is improved by depth. This refers to layers of technologies adding protection, so if 1 were vulnerable another mitigates the harm.
FreqCache tightly controls both Egress (outbound) and Ingress (inbound) data flows.
A docker container connected into FreqCache can only connect out via the api-cache and only to a named exchange api-cache whitelist.
In June 2017 a weak password on node.js repository allowed compromise upto over 52% of javascript npm packages. A similar attack vector is possible for any python, javascript based bot that is reliant on 3rd party libraries.
FreqCache mitigates this exposure. Should your software or linked library be compromised then no data may be taken from your host. FreqCache prevents silent Egress leaking of data.
Freqcache will stop any outbound access from a trading bot that is not explicetly whitelisted. The suite will read in the plain-text file "api-list" on setup. Any URIs not in this file cannot be processed by either ft_varnish or stunnel. Varnish will first reject the request. Stunnel, would not be it, but can only has channels configured that are hard-coded at setup to the white-list destinations.
In Dec 2017 Binance, MyEtherwallet and Etherdelta users were compromised through DNS Hijack. By taking control of an Exchanges DNS records Googles Name servers, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, propogated IP addresses that led connections to Hackers MITM (man in the middle) proxy. Where API credentials and Passwords were harvested.
FreqCache prevents DNS lookups from any bot reaching the internet (except stunnel), as this itself may be an Egress leak of data. Freqtrade runs two DNS servers:
-
DNSMasq - provides service to all internal bots. It will respond to any query with the IP address of hitch. This is used as a simple means to configure containers to direct their functional traffic to the freqcache proxy
-
unbound - provides DNS with real IP Addresses to Stunnle. unbound will only respond to requests from Stunnel. unbound is configured to cache all responses for 1,000 days.
This prevents any DNS poisoning or Hijacking upstream from compromising the outbound flow IP target from stunnel for HTTPS connections. The DNS can be flushed/reloaded to refresh the IP cache to update if desired (an exchange has moved its IP addres this is quite rare as exchanges provide steady API targets)
Many are unaware that by default Docker instances compromise the hosts firewall. In Linux, UFW/IPtables rules are silently compromised by Docker that allows connections from any src and to any src from and to docker containers.
FreqCache provides a custom named Docker network to attache CCXT bots onto, with firewall rule-base to prevent ingress / egresss data flows.
The firewall can be summarised as:
- Only stunnel can make outbound HTTPS connections
- Only unbound can make outbound DNS queries
- Containers on the ft_network can talk to each other
- Host 127.0.0.1 can connect to ft_network
- ALL other ingress and egress connections are blocked
Exchanges are supporting more and more markets (crypto-pairs), traders are wanting to use more strategies in parallel. This is problematic as API limits are too easily hit leading to CCXT bot IP addresses being black listed.
Where multiple trading bots are connecting to the same exchange or bot software does not make an efficient use of requesting Ticker FreqCache helps by caching data for configurable amount of seconds protecting API limits being breached.
By default FreqCache will cache candle data for 15 seconds and ticker data for 5 seconds. This is confgurable, and may be disabled. In practice this realises a 98% drop in API calls with 5 bots trading 100 markets (pairs / ticker periods).
FreqCache is provided as a docker-compose.yml and compromises of:
- Hitch SSL offload from the docker freqtade bot`
- Varnish Api Cache
- Stunnel SSL(HTTPS client) tunnel from api-cache to binance
- UFW/IPtables firewall
- DNSMask - DNS server Inside: replies to any query with the IP of hitch. Used by clients.
- openssl / easyrsa CA server: Creates server certificates for every target and CA file to trust.
- unbound - DNS server Edge: Serves Stunnel only - replies with real IPs and caches for 1,000 days to prevent poisoning.
The flow of data is CCXT DockerBot > ft_Hitch > ft_Varnish > ft_Stunnel > Exchange.
FreqCache makes use of its own private bridged Docker network from which only stunnel has outbound connectivty. There is no inbound connectivity allowed.
Api-list is a plain-test list of URIs that after setup.sh is ran freqcache can connect to.
By default 5_ca/api-list is a complete list of all CCXT supported exhanges, plus api.coinmarketcap.com. Removing, or adding, any HTTPS domain into this list and running setup.sh will Prevent or Allow access to that respectively.
It is recommended to reduce this list to the minimum required.
As example if your bot will only trade on binance, only hold the entry "api.binance.com". All other outbound access will then be denied.
A sample output
cat 5_ca/api-list
1broker.com
1btcxe.com
acx.io
anxpro.com
anybits.com
api-public.sandbox.gdax.com
To connect a docker CCXT bot into FreqCache modify its Run script. Example RUN script to attach a bot to the ft_network and api_cache
The key points are
- connect to ft_network, this puts the bot behind the firewall
- use 10.99.7.249 as dns, this is DNSMasq and will point all HTTPS flows to ft_hitch
- mount and use your ca.cert to trust Hitch SNI termination
mkdir -p ft_ca_root/
cp <your install dir>/freqcache/cacert.pem ft_ca_root/cacert.pem"
docker run -d \
--net="bridge" \
--network=freqcache_ft_network \
--dns=10.99.7.249 \
-v $(pwd)/ft_ca_root/cacert.pem:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem \
...... <THE REMAINDER OF YOUR USUAL DOCKER RUN COMMAND>
This will:
- Connect the bot to the firewalled Docker "ft_network"
- take a copy of the certificate from ft_hitch and create a hash
- Load certificate and CA environment variables into the bot
This should provide the bot with seemless conenctivity to api.binance.com but no other connectivty.
Like always you can launch a bot net, by executing one docker container at a time, with your specified configuration. Which is great for a fine grained launching of servides.
Alternatively, you will find scripts and a readme in the bin directory to easily generate a docker compose file,
containing 100s of different configurations.
This will vastly simplify launching different BotNet configurations.
After your successful service installation, you can launch your botnet in 4 lines of codes. We recommend you to use the file
bots/config/template.json for the first examples, which is configured in dryrun mode.
This example demonstrates how to launch a botnet, based on multiple different strategies
cp ALL_MY_STRATEGIES bots/strategies
python3 bin/ft-strategies-to-configs.py --strategies bots/strategies --input bots/config/template.json --directory bots/config/strat_config --embedded
python3 bin/ft-generate-bots.py --config bots/config/strat_config
docker-compose -f docker-compose.bot.yml upThis example, demonstrates how to launch a botnet, based on one strategy with a split configuration. This approach is useful ,if you are having a lot of pairs you want to trade and so maximize scalability.
python3 bin/ft-split-config-file.py --input bots/config/template.json --directory bots/config/split_config
python3 bin/ft-generate-bots.py --config bots/config/split_configp
docker-compose -f docker-compose.bot.yml upFreqcache makes use of Linux firwall to
- Prevent any outbound traffic bar Stunnel container to HTTP and DNS
- Allow hosts on ft_network to talk to each other
- Allow localhost on host 'lo' to talk to containers
- Prevent any inbound connections

DNSMasq is hosted on ft_dnsmasq
DNSMasq is configrued to respond to any request with the IP address of the hitch host on the ft_network. By setting it as the dns server for all docker clients it ensure what ever endpoint they're trying to resolver will connect to hitch, api.binance.com as example.
DNSMasq will respond to any client without restriction. DNSMasq has not upstream route/connectivity.
Caching DNS server unbound is installed on ft_unbound.
Unbound will only respond to request from ft_stunnel and will provide real IP detail.* Unbound caches and will not refresh IP resolution from upstream for 1,000 day.
This preventing upstream DNS poisoning or hijacking from impacting our IP destination.
Unbound can be restarted/reloaded to clear/force refresh of its DNS cache.
The configuration of unbound is read in a container start. The provided configuration is in
7_unbound/unbound.conf
and reads:

Hitch is an SSL offload daemon provded by varnish, the leading fast cache daemon. On start hitch mounts etc/ssl/hitch from the host 03_hitch/etc/ssl/hitch/.
This directory has been populated at install by ft_ca with the cert/key combined PEM files for all the api target exchanges being supported.
To support multiple certificates on a single IP hitch implement SNI matching on the inbound request.
The pem files created on your install can be viewed under:
ls 3_hitch/etc/ssl/hitch/
1broker.com.pem api.lbank.info.pem paymium.com.pem
1btcxe.com.pem api.liqui.io.pem plus-api.btcchina.com.pem
acx.io.pem api.livecoin.net.pem polon
Varnish is the leading web cache engine, also known as fastly. Varnish is configured out the box to cache PUBLIC kline(candle) and ticker requests for 15 and 5 seconds respectively.
Varnish is also confiured to block and requests that are not to an entry in your api-list. Varnish configuation files are mounted when the service is ran and can be found under:
2_varnish/etc/varnish/
Varnish configuration files are built at install, running setup.sh, which calls the two listed scripts. The scripts loops through your api-list end points and creates a vcl rules, include, and backends for each record.
5_ca/varnish_vhosts.sh
5_ca/varnish_backends.sh
For changes to the rules to be loaded stop/star varnish
docker stop ft_varnish
docker start ft_varnish
With this structure the follwing files are present and are included in the order described:
default.vcl (head of the configutation with common rules - which includes:)
> api-targets.vcl (a list of site-enabled/a.exchange.com.vcl to include)
> backend_inc_logic.vcl
>>> sites-enabled/a.site.com.vcl
>>> sites-enabled/anoher.exchange.com.vcl
> catch-all.vcl (footer of configuration with common deny and other rules)
Any site without an include in api-targets.vcl and a rule file under sites-enabled/ will be returned with a HTTP err 418.
A specific rules and backend is written for each white listed site. The backend will route requests for target host to an stunnel HTTP to HTTPS tunnel that is hard coded to that desitnation.
This provides two layers of protection against egress data leaking an unintended destination.

On setup.sh the a stunnel channel for each target is written. Each channle has its own target destination and listens on its own TCP port.
Stunnel will forward any HTTP traffic on it channel port to its hard-coded distination. This ensures no egress HTTPS data to any unwanted destinations that may be attempting to recieve API keys sent from compromised source bot code or include code.
Each stunnel channel is also responsible for tests against the exchange to veryfiy the server certificate.
freqcache is configured to check, server cert is signed by a trusted CA, is from the correct host.
