shadowtunnel is a secure encryption tunnel between your local machine and remote service to protect your TCP flow，

which can efficiently compress transmission, and the flow has no characteristics.

local machine <----> shadowtunnel <----> service on remote.

download http proxy program, execute below on line command on vps with root：

wget https://github.com/snail007/goproxy/releases/download/v4.9/proxy-linux-amd64.tar.gz && tar zxfv proxy-linux-amd64.tar.gz && rm proxy-linux-amd64.tar.gz && mv proxy /usr/bin/ && proxy http -p 127.0.0.1:38080 &

2.Start a tunnel on VPS

download shadowtunnel program, execute below on line command on vps with root：

wget https://github.com/snail007/shadowtunnel/releases/download/v1.1/shadowtunnel-linux-amd64.tar.gz && tar zxfv shadowtunnel-linux-amd64.tar.gz && rm shadowtunnel-linux-amd64.tar.gz && mv shadowtunnel /usr/bin/

start a tunnel on vps listening on :50000 and forward to 127.0.0.1:38080 ：

shadowtunnel -e -f 127.0.0.1:38080 -l :50000

3.start a tunnel on local machine

start a tunnel on local machine listening on :50000 and forward to 2.2.2.2:50000 :

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000 -l :50000

4.set http proxy configuration in chrome

setting local chrome's http proxy configuration as below：

ip: 127.0.0.1 port: 50000

5.done

5.Done

-daemon:

Using the parameter -daemon allows shadowtunnel to detached from the current command line and run in the background.

-forever:

Using parameter -forever allows shadowtunnel to run in the way of creating and monitoring child processes,

If an abnormal exit occurs, the child process will be restarted to ensure that the service is always online..

-log

Using parameter -log, you can set the log output to the file instead of the command line output.

-nolog

Using parameter -nolog can completely shut off log output and save CPU occupation.

Generally, the three parameters (-daemon -forever -log /tmp/st.log) are used together, so that we can find out the cause of the problem by looking at the log when we have a problem.

for example:

shadowtunnel -u -e -f 127.0.0.1:38080 -l :50000 -p your-password -daemon -forever -log /tmp/st.log

Shadowtunnel can provide local DNS query service, and has caching function to improve resolution speed.

It is necessary to have a superior service to start a DNS service while launching the port forwarding locally.

The -dns parameter sets the IP and port which the local DNS service listen, for example:0.0.0.0:5353

The -dns-server Parameters can be set to DNS servers that are ultimately used to resolve domain names, requiring the server to support TCP-style DNS queries, default:8.8.8.8:53.

for example:

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000 -l :50000 -p your-password -dns :5353 -dns-server 8.8.8.8:53

superior example:

If the superior is chain-style, then the superior of the DNS proxy in the chain is required to add the -dns-proxy parameter.

shadowtunnel -e -f 127.0.0.1:38080 -l :50000 -p your-password -dns-proxy

The -ttl parameter can set the DNS query result cache time. unit is second. if it is 0, and use the TTL of the query result.

The -cache parameter sets DNS cache file location to prevent program restart and cache disappear, which will reduce performance.

Support superior load balancing, repeat -f parameters if exist multiple superiors.

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000 -f 3.3.3.3:50000 -l :50000

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000 -f 3.3.3.3:50000 -l :50000 -lb-method leastconn -lb-retrytime 300 -lb-timeout 300

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000@2 -f 3.3.3.3:50000@1 -l :50000 -lb-method weight -lb-retrytime 300 -lb-timeout 300

shadowtunnel -E -f 2.2.2.2:50000@2 -f 3.3.3.3:50000@1 -l :50000 -lb-method hash -lb-hashtarget -lb-retrytime 300 -lb-timeout 300

The -dns- hosts parameter sets the hosts file to be used when DNS is parsed, with the same content format as the system's hosts file.

shadowtunnel -f 2.2.2.2:50000 -dns :5353 -dns-hosts /etc/hosts
