|
|||
|
||||
### Status
|
||||
|
||||
- Successfully bootstraps over WebRTC, both directly to a server plugin,
|
||||
as well as through the browser which proxies WebRTC to websocket.
|
||||
- Needs work on signaling with the broker.
|
||||
- Successful automatic bootstraps with a WebRTC transport,
|
||||
using HTTP signaling (with optional domain fronting) speaking to
|
||||
a multitude of volunteer "snowflakes".
|
||||
- Needs a lot more work though.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
There are currently two ways to try this:
|
||||
- Directly to the go-webrtc server plugin.
|
||||
- Through a browser snowflake proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd client/
|
||||
go build
|
||||
tor -f torrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And it will start the client plugin with the following `torrc`
|
||||
options:
|
||||
```
|
||||
ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./client \
|
||||
--url https://snowflake-reg.appspot.com/ \
|
||||
--front www.google.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It will speak to the Broker, get matched with a "snowflake" browser proxy,
|
||||
and negotiate a WebRTC PeerConnection.
|
||||
After that, it should bootstrap to 100%.
|
||||
|
||||
To see logs, do `tail -F snowflake.log` in a second terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
You can modify the `torrc` to use your own broker,
|
||||
or remove the options entirely which will default to the old copy paste
|
||||
method (see `torrc-manual`):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./client --meek
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it is possible to connect directly to the go-webrtc server plugin
|
||||
(skipping all the browser snowflake / broker stuff - see appendix)
|
||||
|
||||
### Building a Snowflake Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
This will only work if there are any browser snowflakes running at all.
|
||||
To run your own, first make sure coffeescript is installed.
|
||||
Then, build with:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd proxy/
|
||||
cake build
|
||||
```
|
||||
(Type `cake` by itself to see possible commands)
|
||||
|
||||
Then, start a local http server in the `proxy/build/` in any way you like.
|
||||
For instance:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd build/
|
||||
python -m http.server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open a browser tab to `0.0.0.0:8000/snowflake.html`.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: Turn the snowflake proxy into a more deployable badge.

||||
|
||||
### Appendix
|
||||
|
||||
##### -- Testing directly via WebRTC Server --
|
||||
|
||||
Using the server plugin uses an HTTP server that simulates the interaction
|
||||
that a client would have with a broker.
|
||||
Using the browser proxy (which will soon be the only way) requires copy and
|
||||
pasting between 3 terminals and a browser tab.
|
||||
Once a signaling broker is implemented
|
||||
([issue #1](https://github.com/keroserene/snowflake/issues/1))
|
||||
this will become much simpler to use.
|
||||
|
||||
##### -- Via WebRTC Server --
|
||||
|

To connect through the WebRTC browser proxy, first make sure

coffeescript is installed. Then, build with:
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd proxy/
|
||||
cake build

|
||||
|
||||
Open a browser tab to `0.0.0.0:8000/snowflake.html`.
|
||||
Input your desired relay address, or nothing/gibberish, which will cause
|
||||
snowflake to just use a default relay.
|
||||
Then, in the browser proxy:
|
||||
|
||||
- Look for the offer in terminal C; copy and paste it into the browser.
|
||||
- Copy and paste the answer generated in the browser back to terminal B.
|
||||
- Once WebRTC successfully connects, the browser terminal should turn green.
|
||||
Shortly after, the tor client should bootstrap to 100%.

### More
|
||||
|
||||
To try using the Meek signaling channel (which will soon be fully ready),
|
||||
add the `--meek` flag like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./client --meek
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
More documentation on the way.
