icepa / icepa Goto Github PK

Is this a project that could lead to an App Store VPN for TOR or will Apple reject it?

You mentioned in the README file that

Tor currently exceeds the 5 MB memory limit set on packet provider extensions by Apple (TODO: File radar). Until this is fixed, iCepa's extension will crash. If you have a jailbroken device, you can circumvent this with jetsamctl. Possible solutions include increasing the use of memory mapping in tor.

In what way did you see this?
I'm developing a Packet Provider extension of my own and seeing my extension crash with "Message from debugger: Terminated due to memory issue". Is this what you see in your extension?
Also, how do you know the memory limit is 5MB?

Thanks!

Firstly, I really appreciate the efforts of iCepa - I'm learning a lot from this code being here and the setup so well-documented. Thank you thank you thank you!

Unfortunately, none of this code can really be used for other projects in iCepa's current state since it's missing a license that would permit any kind of reuse or distribution.

I'm guessing something similar to https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go/tree/README.md#n11 would work, but IANAL nor am I the author.

With the recent beta of iOS 10 v2 increasing the memory limit to 15 MB... does that mean the bottleneck has been removed and development is going forward?

Can I download it from App Store ??

Been waiting along time to see this app come into the mainstream.... whats the current situation? Any chance we can expect to see it soon for general use?

In the cartfile, I wrote github "iCepa/Tor.framework" "master" and ran carthage update.
The build fails with the following error:
*** Building scheme "Tor-Mac" in Tor.xcodeproj
** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
ExternalBuildToolExecution openssl-Mac
(1 failure)
A shell task failed with exit code 65:
** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:

(1 failure)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Please help. Thanks

Hi,
The project is already running.
Successfully visited Host: https://check.torproject.org
But cannot visit Host: https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

Kodi makes available ios binaries that one can sign with Xcode 7 and install on iOS 9 without needing to sign up as a developer with Apple. See http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_iOS (near the bottom of the page) and http://dantheman827.github.io/ios-app-signer/.

Any chance this project could do the same thing? It seems building from source is quite some chore. Making binaries would enable more people to install and test the software.

Cathage fails to build so i assumed is was to do with the simulator, so i ignored it and tried to run in xcode and i get a 'Tor/Tor.h' file not found

(There are quite a few Swift 3 errors getting iCepa to run, but I believe I resolved them all correctly...)

Hey! I've been getting a dev environment set up — excited to potentially contribute to this project.

I shot off an email to Apple to get access to the proper Network Extension entitlement, and got this lovely autoreply email:

Thank you for requesting information about the Network Extension framework. Please note that as of November 10, 2016 this process is not required for developers who wish to use App Proxy, Content Filter, or Packet Tunnel APIs. To use these services please navigate to your Developer Account at https://developer.apple.com/account/ and select the Network Extension capability for the App ID you will be using for your app.

If you are requesting an entitlement for Hotspot Helper APIs and have already filled out the request questionnaire then your request will be addressed at our earliest convenience. Otherwise please visit https://developer.apple.com/contact/network-extension/ and enter the required information.

I assume this project is likely not using Network Extension framework APIs other than the Packet Tunnel APIs, and that thus manually emailing Apple might not be necessary any more to run on-device?

I still don't have a working dev environment (banging my head against Rust tun2tor issues — may open an issue here once it becomes obvious it isn't trivially user error), so I can't confirm yet, but this does seem promising. Figured I'd bring this to your attention, since it seems like such a recent policy change.

Debug build works OK.

Also, the build instructions in the README don't mention that you also need to install Rust, cbindgen and ffi. Also, if using M1 Macs, tor.sh, xz.sh and libevent.sh needs to be modified and /usr/local/... changed to /opt/homebrew/....

it show me errors when run "git submodule update --init --recursive"
how to fix it

Something about the Xcode's script environment being different enough to mess up cargo.

Temporary workaround is to build the library separately from Xcode, and then Build and Run from Xcode:

$ cd Extension/tun2tor
$ cargo build --lib --target aarch64-apple-ios

Gett this error when building

Hey Conrad,

Was checking out the project, was having issues setting up the project.

1. You've included the Tor.framework as a submodule and through Carthage. Was that Intentional?
2. Build script for lipo is failing. It's assuming that libtun2tor.a has been built, but it appears that it is not the case? (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lipo: can't open input file: target/x86_64-apple-ios/release/libtun2tor.a (No such file or directory)

It's a subjective, fickle thing—but I personally find just 'Cepa' to be a better name for this project than prefixing it with 'i-' like iOS apps did a decade ago. Seems dated.

I'm really happy you folks made headway with getting this working on iOS! Can't wait to try it out when it makes it onto the App Store.

Hello,
I found config.serverAddress = "somebridge" in the permissionViewController.swift file.
I added the server address "127.0.0.1" there. But it disconnected. Can you please guide me what server address I need to put there to connect TOR-VPN.
Thank you!

I am trying to build the project for iOS but it is saying that you done have archtecture for arm64. Error is as follows:

I have completed all build steps

no update since about a year …

At first it takes several minutes to reach 100% and then immediately VPN connection drops.

After that the app remains in invalid state where no new connections are possible without deleting the app and compiling it and installing it anew. The Tor log error is something like Could not open "/private/var/mobile/Containres/Shared/AppGroup/UUID/tor/cached-micodescs" for mmap(): No such file or directory. This error can only be then removed by reinstalling the app.

I've also tried updating to latest version of Tor.framework but to no avail.

It used to work perfectly before iOS update.

I am trying to build the project for iOS but it is saying that you done have archtecture for arm64. Error is as follows:

Somebody suggested that I didn't install all Rust targets. But I have as you can see from the screenshot:

I have installed rustup and all the stuff that needed to run the code. But while building I got this kind of error in my project.
can you please help?

Quick investigation (running the app and attaching debugger to iCepaTunnel process) has shown to network extension is killed by iOS for allocating too much memory (17 MB). This happens as soon as I try to open check.torproject.org in Safari.

I tried building the project but it fails with these errors:

• iCepa-master/iOS/ViewController.swift:21:9: Type 'NETunnelProviderManager' has no member 'loadOrCreateDefaultWithCompletionHandler'

I have followed the exact steps mentioned in README.

When trying to build the Mac version, I get:
