I have an Envoy proxy instance configured to proxy http and websocket requests. Note that this is not a CONNECT proxy. I want my websocket client to create a websocket request as if it was sending it to the original destination and then deliver the payload to the proxy's listener instead.
What's the recommended way to connect to the local proxy? I believe this is dependent on the specific Go websocket package being used. I can see packages that allow overriding the http.Client used, but the destination address is determined using the websocket URL specified. The only alternative I have is to send the request to ws://proxy_ip:proxy_port/path directly, and specify the destination using some custom HTTP header that the proxy is configured to use for routing. I am not a big fan of this approach.
I want to dial an address different from that in the request
Use Gorilla's Dialer.NetDialContext to dial an address different from the request:
d := websocket.Dialer{
NetDialContext: func(ctx context.Context, network, addr string) (net.Conn, error) {
return net.DialContext(ctx, network, "proxy_ip:proxy_port")
},
}
c, r, err := d.Dial("ws://example.com/path", nil)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}

I want to create a tor like clone in Go, where I have a local socks5 proxy server from which I get the request, encrypt it and send it via tcp to the network. To work with proxies in go I found the golang.org/x/net/proxy package. By searching how to create a server with it and getting the request data I only find something like this Creating a go socks5 client where people use it to only forward the traffic to another server.
Currently I have this implementation.
dialer, err := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", "127.0.0.1:31415", nil, proxy.Direct)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
My question now is how I can get the data which the computer send via socks5 to this local proxy.
I am working on creating my own SOCKS5 proxy client. I'm trying to make it without any 3rd modules (Only use "net", I have made a HTTP proxy client with it). Can anyone help me?
The SOCKS5 client function is looks like this:
func NewSocks(socks5Address string, websiteAddress string) (net.Conn, err)
I am working on an application that tries to send some data to a remote server. Once I get the hostname, I get a connection by resolving the hostname using net.Dialer.DialContext. Once, I resolve the hostname, I keep on using conn.Write method to write data to the connection.
conn, err := d.DialContext(ctx, string(transport), addr)
_, err := client.conn.Write([]byte(msg))
Error faced: I observed that due to some issues, I was not able to ping my server. Surprisingly, conn obtained from DialContext did not complain while doing conn.Write and it kept writing to the same connection.
Can someone help me in how to modify my writing methods in order to get an error in case the destination server is not reachable?
From this UDP connection example
the best a "connected" UDP socket can do to simulate a send failure is to save the ICMP response, and return it as an error on the next write.
So try and (for testing) make a second conn.Write, to confirm that you would indeed get an error this time.
I am trying to create an UDP Proxy in Go without success.
My objective is to get the DNS response from a server and write it back to the client.
$ kdig -d #0.0.0.0:8853 facebook.com
n, client, err := u.server.ReadFromUDP(buf) // read request
n, err = u.server.WriteToUDP(buf, client) // write it back
Should i be doing something different? Response:
WARNING: response timeout for 0.0.0.0#8853(UDP)
PS: My TCP Implementation works fine.
Thanks!
I'm studying Go for network programming. The problem is Go documentation is too simple. For example， I don't know when to use net.DialTCP, and when to use TCPListener object to AcceptTCP, what's the difference? How about client communicate with another client? Not client to server.
Connecting
In Go, you use the Dial function from net to connect to a remote machine.
net.Dial("tcp","google.com:80")
net.Dial("udp","tracker.thepiratebay.org:6969")
net.Dial("ip","kremvax.su")
net.Dial("unix","/dev/log")
This gives you an abstract Conn object that represents the connection you just established. Conn implements the ReadWriteCloser interface from io and a couple of other functions. You can use this object to send and receive data.
Listening
To listen, i.e. open a port, you use the Listen function from net. Calling Listen gives you a Listener object. Use Accept to accept incoming connections. Accept returns another Conn object that can be used as above.
ls, err := net.Listen("tcp",":1337")
if err != nil {
// port probably blocked, insert error handling here
}
conn, err := ls.Accept()
if err != nil {
// error handling
}
conn.Write("Hello, world!")
DialTCP and ListenTCP
These functions give you more control over TCP connections. I suggest you to only use them if they are definitly needed for your program as Dial and Listen are simpler, more generic and easily allow you to adapt your program to other types of network connections.
net.DialTCP is used on the client side to create a connection to remote server.
net.TCPListener.AcceptTCP is used on the server side to accept new connection (possibly initiated by net.DialTCP if client is written in Go). Note that listener may accept multiple connections, one by one, thus serving multiple clients at once (e.g. each in different goroutine).
Depending on whether you are writing client or server, you use net.DialTCP or net.TCPListener
Maybe you should learn about network programming in general first? Then these would make more sense I think.
