• ICMP echoing
• IPv6 support
• Optimized UDP transmission for game acceleration
• Pure Go implementation, no more CGO required
• Router mode, routing all the traffic in LAN
• Socks5, Shadowsocks protocol support for remote connections
• TCP/IP stack powered by gVisor
• Up to 2.5Gbps throughput (10x faster than v1)

How to Build

build from source code

Go compiler version >= 1.15 is required

$ git clone https://github.com/xjasonlyu/tun2socks.git
$ cd tun2socks
$ make

build docker image

$ docker build -t tun2socks .

or

$ docker build -t tun2socks -f ./docker/Dockerfile.aarch64 .

QuickStart

Download from precompiled Releases.

With Docker

Since Go 1.12, the runtime now uses MADV_FREE to release unused memory on linux. This is more efficient but may result in higher reported RSS. The kernel will reclaim the unused data when it is needed. To revert to the Go 1.11 behavior (MADV_DONTNEED), set the environment variable GODEBUG=madvdontneed=1.

create docker network (macvlan mode)

docker network create -d macvlan \
  --subnet=172.20.1.0/25 \
  --gateway=172.20.1.1 \
  -o parent=eth0 \
  switch

pull tun2socks docker image

docker pull xjasonlyu/tun2socks:latest

run as gateway

DNS configuration is required.

docker run -d \
  --network switch \
  --name tun2socks \
  --ip 172.20.1.2 \
  --privileged \
  --restart always \
  --sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 \
  -e PROXY=socks5://server:port \
  -e KEY=VALUE... \
  xjasonlyu/tun2socks:latest

use docker-compose (recommended)

With Linux

create tun

ip tuntap add mode tun dev tun0
ip addr add 198.18.0.1/15 dev tun0
ip link set dev tun0 up

config policy routing

echo "100 tun2socks" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables

ip route add default via 198.18.0.1 dev tun0 table tun2socks
ip route add 172.17.0.0/16 dev eth0 src 172.17.0.3 table tun2socks
ip route add 198.18.0.0/15 dev tun0 src 198.18.0.1 table tun2socks

ip rule add from 172.20.0.3 to 198.18.0.0/15 priority 1000 prohibit
ip rule add from 172.20.0.3 priority 2000 table main
ip rule add from all priority 3000 table tun2socks

run

bind to a specific interface to prevent traffic looping.

./tun2socks --loglevel info --device tun://tun0 --proxy socks5://server:port --interface eth0

With Script

entrypoint.sh would take care of tun & routes.

PROXY=socks5://server:port LOGLEVEL=INFO sh ./scripts/entrypoint.sh

Known Issues

Due to the implementation of pure Go, the memory usage is higher than the previous version. If you are sensitive to memory, please go back to v1.

TODO

• Windows support
