# Green Tunnel
GreenTunnel bypasses DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) systems found in many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) which block access to certain websites.
## How to use
### Graphical user interface (GUI)
You can simply choose the suitable installation for your OS in the [releases](https://github.com/SadeghHayeri/GreenTunnel/releases "releases") section.
### Command-line interface (CLI)
You can install GreenTunnel using [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/ "npm"):
```
$ npm i -g green-tunnel
```
or using [snap](https://snapcraft.io) (edge version):
```
sudo snap install --edge green-tunnel --devmode
```
after installation you can run it using `gt` or `green-tunnel` commands.
```
$ gt --help

Examples:
gt
gt --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --https-only
gt --dns-server https://doh.securedns.eu/dns-query
gt --verbose 'green-tunnel:proxy*'
ISSUES: https://github.com/SadeghHayeri/GreenTunnel/issues
```
for debug use verbose option:
```
$ green-tunnel --verbose 'green-tunnel:*'
```
### Docker
```
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 sadeghhayeri/green-tunnel
```
> **envs**
* PORT
* HTTPS-ONLY
* VERBOSE
* SILENT
* DNS_TYPE
* DNS_SERVER
usage:
```
$ docker run -e 'PORT=1000' -p 8000:1000 sadeghhayeri/green-tunnel
```
#### On Raspberry Pi
```
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 sadeghhayeri/green-tunnel:arm
```
If you want to make container keep running when reboot:
```
$ docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 8000:8000 sadeghhayeri/green-tunnel:arm
```
Please make sure port `8000` is not blocked on Raspberry Pi firewall. (`sudo ufw allow 8000 comment Green-Tunnel`)
To use it on your other device, set http proxy to ```:```. (PORT = `8000`)
### Tested on
- MacOS Catalina with node 12
- Ubuntu 18.04 with node 8
- Windows 10 with node 8
## FAQ
> **How does it work?**
###### HTTP
There are gaps in providers in DPI. They happen from what the DPI rules write for ordinary user programs, omitting all possible cases that are permissible by standards. This is done for simplicity and speed.
Some DPIs cannot recognize the HTTP request if it is divided into TCP segments. For example, a request of the form
```
GET / HTTP/1.0`
Host: www.youtube.com
...
```
we send it in 2 parts: first comes `GET / HTTP/1.0 \n Host: www.you` and second sends as `tube.com \n ...`. In this example, ISP cannot find blocked word **youtube** in packets and you can bypass it!
###### HTTPS
Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension to TLS (Transport Layer Security) that indicates the actual destination hostname a client is attempting to access over HTTPS. For this Web Filter feature, SNI hostname information is used for blocking access to specific sites over HTTPS. For example, if the administrator chooses to block the hostname **youtube** using this feature, all Website access attempts over HTTPS that contain **youtube** like **www.youtube.com** in the SNI would be blocked. However, access to the same hostname over HTTP would not be blocked by this feature. GreenTunnel tries to split first **CLIENT-HELLO** packet into small chunks and ISPs can't parse packet and found SNI field so bypass traffic!
###### DNS
When you enter a URL in a Web browser, the first thing the Web browser does is to ask a DNS (Domain Name System) server, at a known numeric address, to look up the domain name referenced in the URL and supply the corresponding IP address.
If the DNS server is configured to block access, it consults a blacklist of banned domain names. When a browser requests the IP address for one of these domain names, the DNS server gives a wrong answer or no answer at all.
GreenTunnel use [DNS over HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_HTTPS "doh (DNS over HTTPS)") and [DNS over TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS "DNS over TLS") to get real IP address and bypass DNS Spoofing.
