Generic DTLS wrapper for UDP sessions. Like stunnel, but for UDP. Suitable for wrapping Wireguard or UDP OpenVPN or any other connection-oriented UDP sessions.
"Client" receives plaintest UDP traffic and forwards it to "Server" via encrypted DTLS connection. "Server" listens UDP port and accepts encrypted DTLS sessions, forwarding messages from each session as a separate UDP connection to plaintext UDP port.
- Cross-platform (Windows/Mac OS/Linux/Android/*BSD)
- Uses proven DTLS crypto for secure datagram tunneling
- Simple configuration: just pre-shared key, listen address and forward address.
Pre-built binaries are available here.
Alternatively, you may install dtlspipe from source. Run the following command within the source directory:
make install
Let's assume you have following setup: you have server with public IP address 203.0.113.11, running some UDP service on port 514. You want to access this service securely and have UDP datagrams between you and this service encrypted and authenticated.
- Generate pre-shared key with command
dtlspipe genpsk - Run dtlspipe-server on server machine:
dtlspipe -psk xxxxxxxxxxxx server 0.0.0.0:2815 127.0.0.1:514 - Run dtlspipe-client on your machine:
dtlspipe -psk xxxxxxxxxxxx client 127.0.0.1:2816 203.0.113.11:2815 - Use address
127.0.0.1:2816instead of203.0.113.11:514for communication with the service.
Few notes:
- You may use any ports instead of 2815 and 2816.
- Use of localhost address
127.0.0.1for port bind is optional too and used in example to restrict port access from localhost only. Use0.0.0.0to allow network access from outside. - PSK can be also specified via
DTLSPIPE_PSKenvironment variable.
dtlspipe setup can be done using example for generic case, but more specifically, dtlspipe server should point to the wireguard server port and wireguard client should communicate with port of dtlspipe client.
You need to make following adjustments to wireguard client config:
- Use bind address of the dtlspipe client as endpoint for client's wireguard connection.
- Use smaller MTU for wireguard tunnel, add
MTU = 1280to the[Peer]section of wireguard client and server tunnel config. - Exclude dtlspipe server address from
AllowedIPsin the wireguard client config. This calculator may help you. Example for server address203.0.113.11:
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/1, 128.0.0.0/2, 192.0.0.0/5, 200.0.0.0/7, 202.0.0.0/8, 203.0.0.0/18, 203.0.64.0/19, 203.0.96.0/20, 203.0.112.0/24, 203.0.113.0/29, 203.0.113.8/31, 203.0.113.10/32, 203.0.113.12/30, 203.0.113.16/28, 203.0.113.32/27, 203.0.113.64/26, 203.0.113.128/25, 203.0.114.0/23, 203.0.116.0/22, 203.0.120.0/21, 203.0.128.0/17, 203.1.0.0/16, 203.2.0.0/15, 203.4.0.0/14, 203.8.0.0/13, 203.16.0.0/12, 203.32.0.0/11, 203.64.0.0/10, 203.128.0.0/9, 204.0.0.0/6, 208.0.0.0/4, 224.0.0.0/3, ::/0
dtlspipe server skips HelloVerify message by default in order to workaround some DPI systems. It's associated with some DoS security risks. Please add server option -skip-hello-verify=false if such behavior is undesirable. Alternatively such risks may be mitigated with firewall, restricting sessions count on server port.
$ dtlspipe -h
Usage:
dtlspipe [OPTION]... server <BIND ADDRESS> <REMOTE ADDRESS>
Run server listening on BIND ADDRESS for DTLS datagrams and forwarding decrypted UDP datagrams to REMOTE ADDRESS.
dtlspipe [OPTION]... client <BIND ADDRESS> <REMOTE ADDRESS>
Run client listening on BIND ADDRESS for UDP datagrams and forwarding encrypted DTLS datagrams to REMOTE ADDRESS.
dtlspipe [OPTION]... hoppingclient <BIND ADDRESS> <ENDPOINT GROUP> [ENDPOINT GROUP]...
Run client listening on BIND ADDRESS for UDP datagrams and forwarding encrypted DTLS datagrams to a random chosen endpoints.
Endpoints are specified by a list of one or more ENDPOINT GROUP. ENDPOINT GROUP syntax is defined by following ABNF:
ENDPOINT-GROUP = address-term *( "," address-term ) ":" Port
address-term = Domain / IP-range / IP-prefix / IP-address
Domain = <Defined in Section 4.1.2 of [RFC5321]>
IP-range = ( IPv4address ".." IPv4address ) / ( IPv6address ".." IPv6address )
IP-prefix = IP-address "/" 1*DIGIT
IP-address = IPv6address / IPv4address
IPv4address = <Defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC5954]>
IPv6address = <Defined in Section 4.1 of [RFC5954]>
Endpoint is chosen randomly as follows.
First, random ENDPOINT GROUP is chosen with equal probability.
Next, address is chosen from address sets specified by that group, with probability
proportional to size of that set. Domain names and single addresses condidered
as sets having size 1, ranges and prefixes have size as count of addresses in it.
Example: 'example.org:20000-50000' '192.168.0.0/16,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255:50000-60000'
