Requirement

pycryptodome is an optional library to enable faster (C version) cipher. pproxy has many built-in pure python ciphers. They are lightweight and stable, but slower than C ciphers. After speedup with PyPy, pure python ciphers can get similar performance as C version. If the performance is important and don't have PyPy, install pycryptodome instead.

asyncssh is an optional library to enable ssh tunnel client support.

These are some performance benchmarks between Python and C ciphers (dataset: 8M):

chacha20-c 0.64 secs
chacha20-py (pypy3) 1.32 secs
chacha20-py 48.86 secs

URI Syntax

{scheme}://[{cipher}@]{netloc}/[@{localbind}][,{plugins}][?{rules}][#{auth}]

  • scheme

    • Currently supported scheme: http, socks, ss, ssl, secure. You can use + to link multiple protocols together.

      http

      http protocol (CONNECT)

      httponly

      http protocol (GET/POST)

      socks4

      socks4 protocol

      socks5

      socks5 protocol

      ss

      shadowsocks protocol

      ssr

      shadowsocksr (SSR) protocol

      trojan

      trojan protocol

      ssh

      ssh client tunnel

      redir

      redirect (iptables nat)

      pf

      pfctl (macos pf nat)

      ssl

      unsecured ssl/tls (no cert)

      secure

      secured ssl/tls (cert)

      tunnel

      raw connection

      ws

      websocket connection

      echo

      echo-back service

      direct

      direct connection
  • "http://" accepts GET/POST/CONNECT as server, sends CONNECT as client. "httponly://" sends "GET/POST" as client, works only on http traffic.
  • Valid schemes: http://, http+socks4+socks5://, http+ssl://, ss+secure://, http+socks5+ss://
  • Invalid schemes: ssl://, secure://

  • cipher

    • Cipher's format: "cipher_name:cipher_key". Cipher can be base64-encoded. So cipher string with "YWVzLTEyOC1nY206dGVzdA==" is equal to "aes-128-gcm:test".

    • Full cipher support list:

    • pproxy ciphers have pure python implementations. Program will switch to C cipher if there is C implementation available within pycryptodome. Otherwise, use pure python cipher.

    • AEAD ciphers use additional payload after each packet. The underlying protocol is different. Specifications: AEAD.

    • Some pure python ciphers (aes-256-cfb1-py) is quite slow, and is not recommended to use without PyPy speedup. Try install pycryptodome and use C version cipher instead.

    • To enable OTA encryption with shadowsocks, add '!' immediately after cipher name.

  • netloc

    • It can be "hostname:port" or "/unix_domain_socket". If the hostname is empty, server will listen on all interfaces.
    • Valid netloc: localhost:8080, 0.0.0.0:8123, /tmp/domain_socket, :8123

  • localbind

    • It can be "@in" or @ipv4_address or @ipv6_address
    • Valid localbind: @in, @192.168.1.15, @::1

  • plugins

    • It can be multiple plugins joined by ",". Supported plugins: plain, origin, http_simple, tls1.2_ticket_auth, verify_simple, verify_deflate
    • Valid plugins: /,tls1.2_ticket_auth,verify_simple

  • rules

    • The filename that contains regex rules

  • auth

    • The username, colon ':', and the password

URIs can be joined by "__" to indicate tunneling by relay. For example, ss://1.2.3.4:1324__http://4.5.6.7:4321 make remote connection to the first shadowsocks proxy server, and then tunnel to the second http proxy server.

Client API

  • TCP Client API

    import asyncio, pproxy

async def test_tcp(proxy_uri):
    conn = pproxy.Connection(proxy_uri)
    reader, writer = await conn.tcp_connect('google.com', 80)
    writer.write(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n')
    data = await reader.read(1024*16)
    print(data.decode())

asyncio.run(test_tcp('ss://aes-256-cfb:password@remote_host:remote_port'))

  • UDP Client API

    import asyncio, pproxy

async def test_udp(proxy_uri):
    conn = pproxy.Connection(proxy_uri)
    answer = asyncio.Future()
    await conn.udp_sendto('8.8.8.8', 53, b'hello the world', answer.set_result)
    await answer
    print(answer.result())

asyncio.run(test_udp('ss://chacha20:password@remote_host:remote_port'))

Server API

  • Server API example:

    import asyncio
import pproxy

server = pproxy.Server('ss://0.0.0.0:1234')
remote = pproxy.Connection('ss://1.2.3.4:5678')
args = dict( rserver = [remote],
             verbose = print )

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
handler = loop.run_until_complete(server.start_server(args))
try:
    loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('exit!')

handler.close()
loop.run_until_complete(handler.wait_closed())
loop.run_until_complete(loop.shutdown_asyncgens())
loop.close()

Examples

  • Regex rule

    Define regex file "rules" as follow:

    #google domains
(?:.+\.)?google.*\.com
(?:.+\.)?gstatic\.com
(?:.+\.)?gmail\.com
(?:.+\.)?ntp\.org
(?:.+\.)?glpals\.com
(?:.+\.)?akamai.*\.net
(?:.+\.)?ggpht\.com
(?:.+\.)?android\.com
(?:.+\.)?gvt1\.com
(?:.+\.)?youtube.*\.com
(?:.+\.)?ytimg\.com
(?:.+\.)?goo\.gl
(?:.+\.)?youtu\.be
(?:.+\.)?google\..+

    Then start pproxy

    $ pproxy -r http://aa.bb.cc.dd:8080?rules -vv
Serving on :8080 by http,socks4,socks5
http ::1:57768 -> http aa.bb.cc.dd:8080 -> www.googleapis.com:443
http ::1:57772 -> www.yahoo.com:80
socks4 ::1:57770 -> http aa.bb.cc.dd:8080 -> www.youtube.com:443

    pproxy will serve incoming traffic by http/socks4/socks5 auto-detect protocol, redirect all google traffic to http proxy aa.bb.cc.dd:8080, and visit all other traffic directly from local.

  • Use cipher

    Add cipher encryption to make sure data can't be intercepted. Run pproxy locally as:

    $ pproxy -l ss://:8888 -r ss://chacha20:cipher_key@aa.bb.cc.dd:12345 -vv

    Next, run pproxy.py remotely on server "aa.bb.cc.dd". The base64 encoded string of "chacha20:cipher_key" is also supported:

    $ pproxy -l ss://chacha20:cipher_key@:12345

    The same as:

    $ pproxy -l ss://Y2hhY2hhMjA6Y2lwaGVyX2tleQ==@:12345

    The traffic between local and aa.bb.cc.dd is encrypted by stream cipher Chacha20 with secret key "cipher_key".

  • Unix domain socket

    A more complex example:

    $ pproxy -l ss://salsa20!:complex_cipher_key@/tmp/pproxy_socket -r http+ssl://domain1.com:443#username:password

    pproxy listen on the unix domain socket "/tmp/pproxy_socket" with cipher "salsa20" and key "complex_cipher_key". OTA packet protocol is enabled by adding ! after cipher name. The traffic is tunneled to remote https proxy with simple http authentication.

  • SSL/TLS server

    If you want to listen in SSL/TLS, you must specify ssl certificate and private key files by parameter "--ssl":

    $ pproxy -l http+ssl://0.0.0.0:443 -l http://0.0.0.0:80 --ssl server.crt,server.key --pac /autopac

    pproxy listen on both 80 HTTP and 443 HTTPS ports, use the specified SSL/TLS certificate and private key files. The "--pac" enable PAC feature, so you can put "https://yourdomain.com/autopac" path in your device's auto-configure url.

    Simple guide for generating self-signed ssl certificates:

    $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
$ openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
$ cp server.key server.key.org
$ openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
$ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

  • SSR plugins

    ShadowsocksR example with plugin "tls1.2_ticket_auth" to emulate common tls traffic:

    $ pproxy -l ssr://chacha20:mypass@0.0.0.0:443/,tls1.2_ticket_auth,verify_simple

  • Local bind ip

    If you want to route the traffic by different local bind, use the @localbind URI syntax. For example, server has three ip interfaces: 192.168.1.15, 111.0.0.1, 112.0.0.1. You want to route traffic matched by "rule1" to 111.0.0.2 and traffic matched by "rule2" to 222.0.0.2, and the remaining traffic directly:

    $ pproxy -l ss://:8000/@in -r ss://111.0.0.2:8000/@111.0.0.1?rule1 -r ss://222.0.0.2:8000/@222.0.0.1?rule2

  • Redirect/Pf protocol

    IPTable NAT redirect example (Ubuntu):

    $ sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 5555
$ pproxy -l redir://:5555 -r http://remote_http_server:3128 -vv

    The above example illustrates how to redirect all local output tcp traffic with destination port 80 to localhost port 5555 listened by pproxy, and then tunnel the traffic to remote http proxy.

    PF redirect example (MacOS):

    $ sudo pfctl -ef /dev/stdin
rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080
pass out on en0 route-to lo0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 80 keep state
^D
$ sudo pproxy -l pf://:8080 -r socks5://remote_socks5_server:1324 -vv

    Make sure pproxy runs in root mode (sudo), otherwise it cannot redirect pf packet.

  • Relay tunnel

    Relay tunnel example:

    $ pproxy -r http://server1__ss://server2__socks://server3

    pproxy will connect to server1 first, tell server1 connect to server2, and tell server2 connect to server3, and make real traffic by server3.

  • Raw connection tunnel

    TCP raw connection tunnel example:

    $ pproxy -l tunnel{google.com}://:80
$ curl -H "Host: google.com" http://localhost

    UDP dns tunnel example:

    $ pproxy -ul tunnel{8.8.8.8}://:53
$ nslookup google.com localhost

  • UDP more complicated example

    Run the shadowsocks udp proxy on remote machine:

    $ pproxy -ul ss://remote_server:13245

    Run the commands on local machine:

    $ pproxy -ul tunnel{8.8.8.8}://:53 -ur ss://remote_server:13245 -vv
UDP tunnel 127.0.0.1:60573 -> ss remote_server:13245 -> 8.8.8.8:53
UDP tunnel 127.0.0.1:60574 -> ss remote_server:13245 -> 8.8.8.8:53
...
$ nslookup google.com localhost

  • Load balance example

    Specify multiple -r server, and a scheduling algorithm (rr = round_robin, rc = random_choice, lc = least_connection):

    $ pproxy -r http://server1 -r ss://server2 -r socks5://server3 -s rr -vv
http ::1:42356 -> http server1 -> google.com:443
http ::1:42357 -> ss server2 -> google.com:443
http ::1:42358 -> socks5 server3 -> google.com:443
http ::1:42359 -> http server1 -> google.com:443
...
$ pproxy -ul tunnel://:53 -ur tunnel://8.8.8.8:53 -ur tunnel://8.8.4.4:53 -s rc -vv
UDP tunnel ::1:35378 -> tunnel 8.8.8.8:53
UDP tunnel ::1:35378 -> tunnel 8.8.4.4:53
...

  • WebSocket example

    WebSocket protocol is similar to Tunnel protocol. It is raw and doesn't support any proxy function. It can connect to other proxy like Tunnel protocol.

    First run pproxy on remote machine:

    $ pproxy -l ws://:80 -r tunnel:///tmp/myproxy -v
$ pproxy -l ss://chacha20:abc@/tmp/myproxy -v

    Run pproxy on local machine:

    $ pproxy -l tunnel://:1234 -r ws://remote_ip:80 -vv

    Then port :1234 on local machine is connected to the /tmp/myproxy on remote machine by WebSocket tunnel. You can specify any proxy protocol details on /tmp/myproxy.

    It is a good practice to use some CDN in the middle of local/remote machines. CDN with WebSocket support can hide remote machine's real IP from public.

  • Backward proxy

    Sometimes, the proxy server hides behind an NAT router and doesn't have a public ip. The client side has a public ip "client_ip". Backward proxy feature enables the server to connect backward to client and wait for proxy requests.

    Run pproxy client as follows:

    $ pproxy -l http://:8080 -r http+in://:8081 -v

    Run pproxy server as follows:

    $ pproxy -l http+in://client_ip:8081

    Server connects to client_ip:8081 and waits for client proxy requests. The protocol http specified is just an example. It can be any protocol and cipher pproxy supports. The scheme "in" should exist in URI to inform pproxy that it is a backward proxy.

  • SSH client tunnel

    SSH client tunnel support is enabled by installing additional library asyncssh. After "pip3 install asyncssh", you can specify "ssh" as scheme to proxy via ssh client tunnel.

    $ pproxy -l http://:8080 -r ssh://remote_server.com/#login:password

    If a client private key is used to authenticate, put double colon "::" between login and private key path.

    $ pproxy -l http://:8080 -r ssh://remote_server.com/#login::private_key_path

    SSH connection known_hosts feature is disabled by default.

  • Trojan protocol example

    Normally trojan:// should be used together with ssl://. You should specify the SSL crt/key file for ssl usage. A typical trojan server would be:

    $ pproxy --ssl ssl.crt,ssl.key -l trojan+tunnel{localhost:80}+ssl://:443#yourpassword -vv

    If trojan password doesn't match, the tunnal{localhost:80} will be switched to. It looks exactly the same as a common HTTPS website.
