TunnelKit

iOS 11+ OpenSSL 1.1.1d License GPLv3 Travis-CI

This library provides a simplified Swift/Obj-C implementation of the OpenVPN® protocol for the Apple platforms. The crypto layer is built on top of OpenSSL 1.1.1, which in turn enables support for a certain range of encryption and digest algorithms.

Getting started

The client is known to work with OpenVPN® 2.3+ servers.

  • Handshake and tunneling over UDP or TCP
  • Ciphers
    • AES-CBC (128/192/256 bit)
    • AES-GCM (128/192/256 bit, 2.4)
  • HMAC digests
    • SHA-1
    • SHA-2 (224/256/384/512 bit)
  • NCP (Negotiable Crypto Parameters, 2.4)
    • Server-side
  • TLS handshake
    • Server validation (CA, EKU)
    • Client certificate
  • TLS wrapping
    • Authentication (--tls-auth)
    • Encryption (--tls-crypt)
  • Compression framing
    • Via --comp-lzo (deprecated in 2.4)
    • Via --compress
  • Compression algorithms
    • LZO (via --comp-lzo or --compress lzo)
  • Key renegotiation
  • Replay protection (hardcoded window)

The library therefore supports compression framing, just not newer compression. Remember to match server-side compression and framing, otherwise the client will shut down with an error. E.g. if server has comp-lzo no, client must use compressionFraming = .compLZO.

Support for .ovpn configuration

TunnelKit can parse .ovpn configuration files. Below are a few limitations worth mentioning.

Unsupported:

  • UDP fragmentation, i.e. --fragment
  • Compression via --compress other than empty or lzo
  • Connecting via proxy
  • External file references (inline <block> only)
  • Static key encryption (non-TLS)
  • <connection> blocks
  • vpn_gateway and net_gateway literals in routes

Ignored:

  • MTU overrides
    • --*-mtu and variants
    • --mssfix
  • Multiple --remote with different host values (first wins)
  • Static client-side routes

Many other flags are ignored too but it's normally not an issue.

Installation

Requirements

  • iOS 11.0+ / macOS 10.11+
  • Xcode 10+ (Swift 5)
  • Git (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools)
  • Ruby (preinstalled with macOS)
  • CocoaPods 1.6.0
  • jazzy (optional, for documentation)
  • Disable Bitcode

It's highly recommended to use the Git and Ruby packages provided by Homebrew.

CocoaPods

To use with CocoaPods just add this to your Podfile:

pod 'TunnelKit'

Testing

Download the library codebase locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/tunnelkit.git

Assuming you have a working CocoaPods environment, setting up the library workspace only requires installing the pod dependencies:

$ pod install

After that, open TunnelKit.xcworkspace in Xcode and run the unit tests found in the TunnelKitTests folder. A simple CMD+U while on TunnelKit-iOS should do that as well.

Demo

There is a Demo directory containing a simple app for testing the tunnel, called BasicTunnel. As usual, prepare for CocoaPods:

$ pod install

then open Demo.xcworkspace and run the BasicTunnel-iOS target.

For the VPN to work properly, the BasicTunnel demo requires:

  • App Groups and Keychain Sharing capabilities
  • App IDs with Packet Tunnel entitlements

both in the main app and the tunnel extension target.

In order to test connection to your own server, modify the file Demo/BasicTunnel-[iOS|macOS]/ViewController.swift and make sure to set ca to the PEM encoded certificate of your VPN server's CA.

Example:

private let ca = CryptoContainer(pem: """
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFJDCC...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
""")

Make sure to also update the following constants in the same files, according to your developer account and your target bundle identifiers:

public static let appGroup
public static let tunnelIdentifier

Remember that the App Group on macOS requires a team ID prefix.

Documentation

The library is split into several modules, in order to decouple the low-level protocol implementation from the platform-specific bridging, namely the NetworkExtension VPN framework.

Full documentation of the public interface is available and can be generated with jazzy. After installing the jazzy Ruby gem with:

$ gem install jazzy

enter the root directory of the repository and run:

$ jazzy

The generated output is stored into the docs directory in HTML format.

Core

Contains the building blocks of a VPN protocol. Eventually, a consumer would implement the Session interface, expected to start and control the VPN session. A session is expected to work with generic network interfaces:

  • LinkInterface (e.g. a socket)
  • TunnelInterface (e.g. an utun interface)

There are no physical network implementations (e.g. UDP or TCP) in this module.

AppExtension

Provides a layer on top of the NetworkExtension framework. Most importantly, bridges native NWUDPSession and NWTCPConnection to an abstract GenericSocket interface, thus making a multi-protocol VPN dramatically easier to manage.

Protocols/OpenVPN

Here you will find the low-level entities on top of which an OpenVPN connection is established. Code is mixed Swift and Obj-C, most of it is not exposed to consumers. The module depends on OpenSSL.

The entry point is the OpenVPNSession class. The networking layer is fully abstract and delegated externally with the use of opaque IOInterface (LinkInterface and TunnelInterface) and OpenVPNSessionDelegate protocols.

Another goal of this module is packaging up a black box implementation of a NEPacketTunnelProvider, which is the essential part of a Packet Tunnel Provider app extension. You will find the main implementation in the OpenVPNTunnelProvider class.

A debug log snapshot is optionally maintained and shared by the tunnel provider to host apps via the App Group container.

Extra/LZO

Due to the restrictive license (GPLv2), LZO support is provided as an optional subspec.
