# Developing These are notes to test the different components separately while developing. ## Server-side proxy ### 1. Compile and run obfserver First, we're going to set up the server-side proxy. Do note that we will skip the part that generates the obfs4 keys (we will use the `obfsproxy/test_data` folder for testing). `LHOST` is the local IP of the server (in case it's different than the public IP). `RHOST` is the OpenVPN gateway IP. ``` export LHOST=10.10.1.10:4430 # this is our obfs4 endpoint (private network; if your public IP is exposed directly you should use the IP:PORT here instead). export RHOST=163.172.126.44:443 # this is the GW IP (each obfsproxy is routing to only one openvpn GW). cd server && make build sudo ./server -addr ${LHOST} -vpn ${RHOST} -state test_data -c test_data/obfs4.json ``` ### 2. Run `obfsclient` to start a socks5 proxy in localhost It will start a local socks5 proxy, to where we will connect with `openvpn`. For now, this is `TCP` only. By default, the socks5 proxy will listen in `127.0.0.1:8080`. ``` make build-client make run-client OBFS4_CERT=8nuAbPJwFrKc/29KcCfL5LBuEWxQrjBASYXdUbwcm9d9pKseGK4r2Tg47e23+t6WghxGGw ``` ### 3. Get certificates for the riseup gateways. ``` make certs ``` You should have certificates in `/tmp/cert.pem`, and the ca file in `/tmp/ca.crt`. ### 4. Run the `openvpn` client using the local `socks5` proxy. The `openvpn` binary needs to be invoked with the `OBFS4_ENDPOINT_IP` and `OBFS4_ENDPOINT_PORT` as the `--remote`, the local `socks5` port should be passed with `--proxy`. In this example, we pass the `OBFS4_ENDPOINT_IP` and `OBFS4_ENDPOINT_PORT` variable via the `Makefile`: ``` make run-openvpn OBFS4_ENDPOINT_IP=2.2.2.2 OBFS4_ENDPOINT_PORT=4430 ``` If everything went well, now you should be connected to the gateway remote, and all routes set up. ``` ❯ make run-openvpn OBFS4_ENDPOINT_IP=2.2.2.2 OBFS4_ENDPOINT_PORT=4430 ./scripts/run-openvpn-client.sh + sudo openvpn
