Websocket Proxy

Tunnel all TCP connections over a websocket connection.

Usage

Run the websocket proxy server on 0.0.0.0:8080:

wsproxy server --port 8080

Run the websocket client and listen for TCP connections on port 9696:

wsproxy client ws://<server-host> --port 9696

You can get more information when running wsproxy.

SSL

HTTPS can be enabled with --ssl. Alternatively a NGINX reverse proxy can be used.

Use with iptables

You can use iptables to redirect traffic to the proxy client.

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d <address> --dport <port> -j REDIRECT --to 9696

To redirect the all connections to the proxy, you must avoid for the proxy to connection to itself. For that you can create a group proxy and allow all outgoing traffic for it.

# redirect all connections to port 9696
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to 9696
# accept all outgoing traffic for the proxy group
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --gid proxy -j ACCEPT
# avoid redirecting localhost
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT

And run the client like this:

sudo -g proxy wsproxy client <websocket-address>
