This is the server transport plugin for Snowflake. The actual transport protocol it uses is WebSocket. In Snowflake, the client connects to the proxy using WebRTC, and the proxy connects to the server (this program) using WebSocket.
Setup
The server needs to be able to listen on port 80
in order to generate its TLS certificates.
On Linux, use the setcap program to enable
the server to listen on port 80 without running as root:
setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/snowflake-server
Here is a short example of configuring your torrc file to run the Snowflake server under Tor:
SocksPort 0
ORPort 9001
ExtORPort auto
BridgeRelay 1
ServerTransportListenAddr snowflake 0.0.0.0:443
ServerTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./server --acme-hostnames snowflake.example --acme-email admin@snowflake.example --log /var/log/tor/snowflake-server.log
The domain names given to the --acme-hostnames option
should resolve to the IP address of the server.
You can give more than one, separated by commas.
TLS
The server uses TLS WebSockets by default: wss:// not ws://.
There is a --disable-tls option for testing purposes,
but you should use TLS in production.
The server automatically fetches certificates
from Let's Encrypt as needed.
Use the --acme-hostnames option to tell the server
what hostnames it may request certificates for.
You can optionally provide a contact email address,
using the --acme-email option,
so that Let's Encrypt can inform you of any problems.
The server will cache TLS certificate data in the directory
pt_state/snowflake-certificate-cache inside the tor state directory.
In order to fetch certificates automatically,
the server needs to listen on port 80,
in addition to whatever ports it is listening on
for WebSocket connections.
This is a requirement of the ACME protocol used by Let's Encrypt.
The program will exit if it can't bind to port 80.
On Linux, you can use the setcap program,
part of libcap2, to enable the server to bind to low-numbered ports
without having to run as root:
setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/snowflake-server
