Set up Outline server in private network

[Xilonz]

Use case; I want to run a local server that's not\barely exposed to the public internet. Via shadowsocks I would be able to connect to the local network of the shadowsocks server. Currently this is completely blocked via

outline-ss-server/net/private_net.go

Line 36 in 3c2b0f1

func IsPrivateAddress(ip net.IP) bool {

A workaround is to run your own server and use SetIpValidator on both the UDP and TCP services:

outline-ss-server/service/tcp.go

Line 138 in 264ddf9

SetTargetIPValidator(targetIPValidator onet.TargetIPValidator)

We will probably not change the Outline product anytime soon to support this because of the added complexity and risks, but we could possibly add an option to the outline-ss-server config to specify network ranges to allow.

We would have to:

• Define the config format
• Create a new IP validator that is built from the config
• Refactor code to be able to inject the validator.
• Update on config updates

Hi @fortuna,
is there any updates on this? Could you please clarify who it is possible to define it in the config format or update on config updates?
