| # Yggstack - Yggdrasil as SOCKS proxy / port forwarder
 | |
| 
 | |
| [](https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggstack/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Introduction
 | |
| 
 | |
| Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6
 | |
| network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and
 | |
| allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with
 | |
| other Yggdrasil nodes. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet
 | |
| connectivity - it also works over IPv4.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Mainline Yggdrasil implementation uses virtual network interface (TUN) to deliver traffic.
 | |
| While this setup is very powerful and flexible, several use cases are not covered:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Systems without TUN adapter support
 | |
| * System without root / administrator access
 | |
| * Web browser access
 | |
| 
 | |
| Yggstack fills the gap by providing SOCKS5 proxy server and TCP port forwarder
 | |
| functionality similar to TOR router. It also can serve as a standalone network node
 | |
| to connect network segments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Supported Platforms
 | |
| 
 | |
| Yggdrasil works on a number of platforms, including Linux, macOS, Ubiquiti
 | |
| EdgeRouter, VyOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OpenWrt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Please see our [Installation](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/installation.html)
 | |
| page for more information. You may also find other platform-specific wrappers, scripts
 | |
| or tools in the `contrib` folder.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Building
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you want to build from source, as opposed to installing one of the pre-built
 | |
| packages:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Install [Go](https://golang.org) (requires Go 1.17 or later)
 | |
| 2. Clone this repository
 | |
| 2. Run `./build`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that you can cross-compile for other platforms and architectures by
 | |
| specifying the `GOOS` and `GOARCH` environment variables, e.g. `GOOS=windows
 | |
| ./build` or `GOOS=linux GOARCH=mipsle ./build`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Running
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Generate configuration
 | |
| 
 | |
| To generate static configuration, either generate a HJSON file (human-friendly,
 | |
| complete with comments):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -genconf > /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ... or generate a plain JSON file (which is easy to manipulate
 | |
| programmatically):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -genconf -json > /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| You will need to edit the `yggdrasil.conf` file to add or remove peers, modify
 | |
| other configuration such as listen addresses or multicast addresses, etc.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Run Yggstack
 | |
| 
 | |
| To run SOCKS proxy server listening on local port 1080 using generated configuration:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -useconffile /path/to/yggdrasil.conf -socks 127.0.0.1:1080
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To expose network services (like a Web server) listening on local port 8080 to Yggdrasil
 | |
| network address at port 80:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -useconffile /path/to/yggdrasil.conf -exposetcp 80:127.0.0.1:8080
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To run as a standalone node without SOCKS server or TCP port forwarding:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -useconffile /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| To run in auto-configuration mode (which will use sane defaults and random keys
 | |
| at each startup, instead of using a static configuration file):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| ./yggstack -autoconf -socks 127.0.0.1:1080
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Unlike mainline Yggdrasil, Yggstack does NOT require privileged access.
 | |
| You can even run several Yggstack instances with different configurations
 | |
| on the same OS and user!
