rtptun

rtptun

rtptun is a UDP tunnel that reshapes UDP traffic as RTP, helping you get VPN traffic through protocol whitelists.

Features

• Lightweight
• Asynchronous
• Cross-platform (tested on Linux, Windows and Android)
• Payload encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305)

Limitations

• No forward secrecy
• No replay protection

Requirements

• GCC (GCC 8 or higher recommended)
• Make
• Cygwin (for Windows builds)
• libsodium
• libev

Building

Installing required dependencies

Ubuntu/Debian

# apt install libev-dev libsodium-dev

Termux

$ pkg install libev libsodium

Alpine

# apk add libev-dev libsodium-dev
# apk add libsodium-static # (optional, needed for static builds)

Cygwin

• gcc-core
• make
• libev-devel
• libsodium-devel

Compiling

There are several build types available:

Release build

Produces optimized binary.

Recommended. This is usually what you want to go with.

$ make -j$(nproc) DEBUG=0 STATIC=0

Static release build

Same as release build but produces a static binary.

Static builds do not work under Windows yet.

$ make -j$(nproc) DEBUG=0 STATIC=1

Debug build

Produces unopimized binary with debug information.

Should only be used for development purposes.

$ make -j$(nproc) DEBUG=1 STATIC=0

Installation

Release build

$ make install DEBUG=0 STATIC=0

Static release build

$ make install DEBUG=0 STATIC=1

Usage

Usage: rtptun <action> <options>
Example:
 - Generate key:     rtptun genkey
 - Run server:       rtptun server -k <KEY> -l 5004 -p 1194
 - Run client:       rtptun client -k <KEY> -l 1194 -d 192.0.2.1 -p 5004
 - Load config file: rtptun -f /etc/rtptun.conf

Actions:
  client  : run as client
  server  : run as server
  genkey  : generate encryption key

Server options:
  -i : listen address (default: 0.0.0.0)
  -l : listen port (default: 5004)
  -d : destination address (default: 127.0.0.1)
  -p : destination port
  -k : encryption key

Client options:
  -i : local address (default: 127.0.0.1)
  -l : local port
  -d : server address
  -p : server port (default: 5004)
  -k : encryption key

Program options:
  -f : Load configuration file
  -h : display help message
  -v : verbose
  -V : display version information

Example

Generating a key

Both client and server must use the same key. You can generate a new random key using:

$ rtptun genkey

Server

Assuming there's a VPN server (OpenVPN/WireGuard/...) running on port 1194:

$ rtptun server -k <KEY> -l 5004 -p 1194

rtptun server will be listening on port 5004 for rtptun clients to connect and tunnel their traffic to the VPN server running on port 1194.

Client

$ rtptun client -k <KEY> -l 1194 -d 192.0.2.1 -p 5004

rtptun will listen locally on port 1194 and tunnel traffic to rtptun server running on host 192.0.2.1 and port 5004.
