MoeSocks

A socks5 proxy using the client / server architecture.

MoeSocks is greatly inspired by shadowsocks.

A sample config.json file is included in this repository and the cabal archive.

type moesocks --help for help.

Installation

  • Need GHC 7.10.2 and cabal-install.

    Installing haskell-platform should be sufficient. (Linux users should pick the Generic distribution, since it's the most up to date)

  • Repeat, you need GHC 7.10.2 exactly, not 7.10.1 or anything else, since remote only runs well in 7.10.2.

  • Update packages

      cabal update
    
  • Install

      cabal install moesocks
    

Usage

  • Edit config.json to fit your setup (at least the remote and password fields)

  • Start a remote node outside the firewall:

      moesocks --role remote -c config.json
    
  • Start a local node inside the firewall:

      moesocks --role local -c config.json
    
  • Now you have a socks5 proxy running inside the firewall using port localPort.

Features

  • Socks5 proxy service, obviously
  • TCP port forwarding
  • UDP port forwarding, for example -U 5300:8.8.8.8:53
  • TCP per connection throttling (as a side effect of trying to find a bug in the remote)
  • Socks5 service on local can be turned off
  • Understand shadowsocks' configuration file

Not working

  • UDP over Socks5 is not implemented
  • More then 2 times slower then the original Python implementation (measured at 20M/s vs 43M/s on an Intel P8800, using the AES-256-CFB method)

Planning features

  • None

Notes

There is an earlier implementation of shadowsocks-haskell by rnons that makes MoeSocks possible.

The original goal of MoeSocks is to provide extra configurability to standard shadowsocks, but it has been discarded since remote is too flaky.
