# tunnerl
# Tunnerl - SOCKS Proxy Implementation in Erlang/OTP

[![Build Status](https://github.com/surik/tunnerl/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/surik/tunnerl/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

SOCKS4, SOCKS4a and SOCKS5 protocols implementation in Erlang/OTP.

Tunnerl is a versatile SOCKS4, SOCKS4a, and SOCKS5 proxy protocol implementation in Erlang/OTP.
It enables you to create a powerful and flexible proxy server to facilitate secure and efficient communication across various network environments.

### Features

* SOCKS: A protocol for TCP proxy across firewalls: [socks4](https://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4.protocol)
* connect command only
* SOCKS 4A: A Simple Extension to SOCKS 4 Protocol: [socks4a](https://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4a.protocol)
* SOCKS Protocol Version 5: [RFC1928](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt)
* connect command only
* Username/Password Authentication for SOCKS V5 [RFC1929](https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1929.txt)
* ATYPs: IPv4, IPv6 and domain
`tunnerl` offers a range of features for proxying TCP connections, making it a valuable tool for network communication.
These features include:

- **SOCKS Protocol Support**:
- SOCKS4: A protocol for TCP proxy across firewalls ([socks4.protocol](https://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4.protocol)).
- Supports the `connect`` command only.
- SOCKS 4A: A Simple Extension to SOCKS 4 Protocol ([socks4a.protocol](https://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4a.protocol)).
- SOCKS Protocol Version 5 ([RFC1928](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt)):
- Supports the `connect`` command only.
- Username/Password Authentication for SOCKS V5 ([RFC1929](https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1929.txt)).
- ATYPs: IPv4, IPv6, and domain.

### Getting Started

### Using
Follow these steps to integrate Tunnerl into your Erlang or Elixir application:

1. Add `tunnerl` to your list of dependencies in rebar.config:

### Testing

Build:
To test `tunnerl`, follow these steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/surik/tunnerl.git
$ cd tunnerl
$ rebar3 compile
1. Clone the `tunnerl` repository and compile the code:

Run tunnerl with simple predefined configuration with socks4/socks5 and no authentication
```
$ git clone https://github.com/surik/tunnerl.git
$ cd tunnerl
$ rebar3 compile
```

$ rebar3 shell --name [email protected] --config tunnerl.config --apps tunnerl
2. Run Tunnerl with a predefined configuration that includes SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 support with no authentication:

There is a bunch of common tests which can be running:
```
$ rebar3 shell --name [email protected] --config tunnerl.config --apps tunnerl
```

3. You can run a series of common tests to ensure everything is working as expected:

$ rebar3 ct
```
$ rebar3 ct
```

**Note** that IPv6 tests might not been working on your local machine.
**Note**: IPv6 tests may not work on all local machines.
