# TunnelKit
This library provides a generic framework for VPN development on Apple platforms.
## OpenVPN
TunnelKit comes with a simplified Swift/Obj-C implementation of the [OpenVPN®][dep-openvpn] protocol, whose crypto layer is built on top of [OpenSSL 1.1.1][dep-openssl].
The client is known to work with OpenVPN® 2.3+ servers.
- [x] Handshake and tunneling over UDP or TCP
- [x] Ciphers
- AES-CBC (128/192/256 bit)
- AES-GCM (128/192/256 bit, 2.4)
- [x] HMAC digests
- SHA-1
- SHA-2 (224/256/384/512 bit)
- [x] NCP (Negotiable Crypto Parameters, 2.4)
- Server-side
- [x] TLS handshake
- Server validation (CA, EKU)
- Client certificate
- [x] TLS wrapping
- Authentication (`--tls-auth`)
- Encryption (`--tls-crypt`)
- [x] Compression framing
- Via `--comp-lzo` (deprecated in 2.4)
- Via `--compress`
- [x] Compression algorithms
- LZO (via `--comp-lzo` or `--compress lzo`)
- [x] Key renegotiation
- [x] 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 details worth mentioning.
#### Non-standard
- XOR-patch functionality:
- Multi-byte XOR Masking
- Via `--scramble xormask <passphrase>`
- XOR all incoming and outgoing bytes by the passphrase given
- XOR Position Masking
- Via `--scramble xorptrpos`
- XOR all bytes by their position in the array
- Packet Reverse Scramble
- Via `--scramble reverse`
- Keeps the first byte and reverses the rest of the array
- XOR Scramble Obfuscate
- Via `--scramble obfuscate <passphrase>`
- Performs a combination of the three above (specifically `xormask <passphrase>` -> `xorptrpos` -> `reverse` -> `xorptrpos` for reading, and the opposite for writing)
- See [Tunnelblick website][about-tunnelblick-xor] for more details (Patch was written in accordance with Tunnelblick's patch for compatibility)
#### 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
- `net_gateway` literals in routes
#### Ignored
- Some MTU overrides
- `--link-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.
## WireGuard
TunnelKit offers a user-friendly API to the modern [WireGuard®][dep-wireguard] protocol.
### Manual Xcode steps
If you add any `TunnelKitWireGuard*` Swift package to the "Link with binary libraries" section of your app or tunnel extension, you are bound to hit this error:
```
ld: library not found for -lwg-go
```
because part of the WireGuardKit package is based on `make`, which SwiftPM doesn't support yet.
Therefore, make sure to follow the steps below for proper integration:
- Copy `Scripts/build_wireguard_go_bridge.sh` somewhere in your project.
- In Xcode, click File -> New -> Target. Switch to "Other" tab and choose "External Build System".
- Type a name for your target.
- Open the "Info" tab and replace `/usr/bin/make` with `$(PROJECT_DIR)/path/to/build_wireguard_go_bridge.sh` in "Build Tool".
- Switch to "Build Settings" and find SDKROOT. Type in `macosx` if you target macOS, or type in `iphoneos` if you target iOS.
- Locate your tunnel extension target and switch to "Build Phases" tab.
- Locate "Dependencies" section and hit "+" to add the target you have just created.
- Repeat the process for each platform.
## Installation
### Requirements
- iOS 13.0+ / macOS 10.15+
- SwiftPM 5.3
- Git (preinstalled with Xcode Command Line Tools)
- golang (for WireGuardKit)
It's highly recommended to use the Git package provided by [Homebrew][dep-brew].
### Caveats
Make sure to set "Enable Bitcode" (iOS) to NO, otherwise the library [would not be able to link OpenSSL][about-pr-bitcode] (OpenVPN) and the `wg-go` bridge (WireGuard).
Recent versions of Xcode (latest is 13.1) have an issue where the "Frameworks" directory is replicated inside application extensions. This is not a blocker during development, but will prevent your archive from being validated against App Store Connect due to the following error:
ERROR ITMS-90206: "Invalid Bundle. The bundle at '*.appex' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'."
You will need to add a "Run Script" phase to your main app target where you manually remove the offending folder, i.e.:
rm -rf "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PLUGINS_FOLDER_PATH}/YourTunnelTarget.appex/Frameworks"
for iOS and:
rm -rf "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PLUGINS_FOLDER_PATH}/YourTunnelTarget.appex/Contents/Frameworks"
for macOS.
### Demo
Download the library codebase locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/passepartoutvpn/tunnelkit.git
There are demo targets containing a simple app for testing the tunnels. Open `Demo/TunnelKit.xcodeproject` in Xcode and run it on both iOS and macOS.
For the VPN to work properly, the demo requires:
- _App Groups_ and _Keychain Sharing_ capabilities
- App IDs with _Packet Tunnel_ entitlements
both in the main app and the tunnel extension targets.
In order to test connectivity in your own environment, modify the file `Demo/Demo/Configuration.swift` to match your VPN server parameters.
Example:
private let ca = CryptoContainer(pem: """
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFJDCC...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
""")
Make sure to also update the following constants in the `*ViewController.swift` files, according to your developer account and your target bundle identifiers:
private let appGroup = "..."
private 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][ne-home] VPN framework.
Full documentation of the public interface is available and can be generated by opening the package in Xcode and running "Build Documentation" (Xcode 13).
### TunnelKit
This component includes convenient classes to control the VPN tunnel from your app without the NetworkExtension headaches. Have a look at `VPN` implementations:
- `MockVPN` (default, useful to test on simulator)
- `NetworkExtensionVPN` (anything based on NetworkExtension)
