# VPN Launchpad

EC2 VPN server builder with multiple VPN support including L2TP, Shadowsocks, V2ray, Brook and Trojan.

Works in Ubuntu(Xenial and above), Mac OSX(Yosemite and above) and Debian(Buster and above) variants including Raspbian. Running in Windows with dind (Docker in docker) container is possible, but not yet verified.

![docker-build](https://github.com/samuelhbne/vpn-launchpad/workflows/docker-buildx-latest/badge.svg)

## How it works

Command vlp creates EC2 instance with VPN services installed out of box. Command lproxy creates proxy (SOCKS/HTTP/DNS) container running locally on your PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi, which tunneling all traffic through the VPN server on EC2. AWS account ID/key are necessary.

## Quick start on Ubuntu / Debian(Buster) / Raspbian

### 1. Dependencies installation

```console
$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install docker.io git dnsutils curl whois
...
$ sudo usermod -aG docker `whoami`; exit
```

Note: It is necessary to log out current session and back to get docker group setting take effect.

Note: For Raspberry Pi users, please update to Raspbian Buster before Docker installation as Docker version earlier than 18.09 is not supported any more.

### 2. Initialize AWS credential and VPN server region

```console
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/samuelhbne/vpn-launchpad.git
$ cd vpn-launchpad
$ ./vlp init
AWS Access Key ID [None]: INPUT-YOUR-AWS-ID-HERE
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: INPUT-YOUR-AWS-KEY-HERE
Default region name [ap-northeast-1]:
Default output format [json]:
Done.
$
```

Note: './vlp init' need to download docker image(about 100MB) during the 1st time execution. However hub.docker.com might be 'throttled' mysteriously in certain country. Please try './vlp --from-src init' instead to build the docker image from source in case './vlp init' stuck on downloading over 10 minutes without progress.

### 3. Build VPN server on AWS

```console
$ ./vlp build --without-random --with-sslibev
...
Shadowsocks-URI: ss://YWVzLTI1Ni1nY206U1NTTElCRVYtUEFTUw==@13.231.224.253:28388#VLP-shadowsocks
...
Scan QR code above from Shadowsocks compatible mobile app to connect your mobile phone/tablet.
Done.
$
```

![QR code example](https://github.com/samuelhbne/vpn-launchpad/blob/master/images/qr.png)

### 4. Connect from your mobile phone

Scan the QR code generated above from Shadowsocks compatible mobile app ([Shadowrocket](https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/shadowrocket/id932747118) for iOS or [Shadowsocks](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-android/releases) for Android etc.) to connect your mobile phone/tablet and enjoy.

### 5. Build local proxy on Ubuntu / Debian(Buster) / Raspbian [optional]

Please jump to step 8 if PC/Mac browser connection is not your goal.

```console
$ ./lproxy build v2ray
...
Setting up local proxy daemon...
Done.

Starting up local proxy daemon...

Done.
$
```

Note: './lproxy build' need to download docker image(about 90MB) during the 1st time execution. However hub.docker.com might be 'throttled' mysteriously in certain country. Please try './lproxy build --from-src' instead to build the docker image from source in case './lproxy build' stuck on downloading over 10 minutes without progress.

### 6. Browser configuration [optional]

Now modify connnection settings for [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-settings-firefox), [Safari](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/safari/set-up-a-proxy-server-ibrw1053/mac) or [Chrome](https://www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/google-chrome-no-proxy/) according to the proxy port settings given above.

### 7. Stop and remove local proxy container from Pi box after surfing [optional]

```console
$ ./lproxy purge
Local proxy found. Purging...
Done.
$
```

### 8. Terminate VPN server instance from AWS after surfing

```console
$ ./vlp purge
...
Waiting Instance shutdown...
Done.

Removing Security Group of vlp-bionic...
Security Group Removed.

Deleting SSH Key-Pair of vlp-bionic...
Done.
$
```

Note: Terminating VPN server instance from AWS after surfing is always recommended. It removes the potential trails from cloud to protect your privacy as well as reduces the cost for AWS service hiring in case you are not AWS free tier user.

## Quick tour for getting AWS account ID and key

1. Create an new AWS free account [here](https://aws.amazon.com/) if you don't have. I'm not affiliate.
2. Login into [AWS IAM console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) with your account.
3. Click "User" from left side then click "Add user" button on the top
4. Input the "User name" and tick "Programmatic access" box below
5. Click "Next: Permissions" button
6. Click "Create group" button
7. Fill "Group name" with "vlpadmin" and tick "AmazonEC2FullAccess" selection box which on the top of the policy list
8. Click "Create group" blue button at the bottom right of the page.
9. Tick the "vlpadmin" selection box in "Add user to group" page
10. Click "Next: Tags", click "Next: Review" then click "Create user" button
11. Click "Show" link
12. Now you get the "Access key ID" and "Secret access key" that necessary for vpn-launchpad running

```

### Local proxy management

```console
$ ./lproxy
lproxy <command> [options]
  build            -- Build local proxy container.
    --from-src     -- Build local proxy container from source rather than docker image downloading.
      brook        -- Build local proxy container that connect to VPN server via Brook connector
      sslibev      -- Build local proxy container that connect to VPN server via Shadowsocks connector
      trojan       -- Build local proxy container that connect to VPN server via Trojan connector
      v2ray        -- Build local proxy container that connect to VPN server via V2ray connector
  status           -- Check local proxy container status.
  purge            -- Destory local proxy container.
```

Note: Please build VPN server before local proxy building.

Note: Component depency fetching from golang.org is necessary during the progress of building v2ray/brook with '--from-src' switch. However, golang.org access might be blocked in cetain country hence lead to the consequent building failure. Please remove '--from-src' switch (which means build from docker hub images fetching) if that is your case.

## VPN server configuration

### Dependencies installation for Ubuntu / Debian(Buster) / Raspbian

```console
$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install docker.io git dnsutils curl whois
...
$ sudo usermod -aG docker `whoami`; exit
```

### Docker installation for Mac OSX

## Connect to the VPN server via L2TP

<https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howto/9.L2TPIPsec_Setup_Guide_for_SoftEther_VPN_Server>

## Cleaning Before upgrading

Image/container names may changed after upgrading. Please do the following before upgrading:

1. purge VPN server(s) and local proxy container you previously created via 'vlp' and 'lproxy';
2. Stop and remove existing vpnlaunchpad and lproxy containers;
3. Remove existing vpnlaunchpad and lproxy images.

Please follow the instructions here to do the cleaning:

```console
$ ./vlp purge
...
$ ./lproxy purge
...
$ docker stop `docker ps -a|grep samuelhbne|awk '{print $1}'`
$ docker rm `docker ps -a|grep samuelhbne|awk '{print $1}'`
$ docker rmi `docker images |grep samuelhbne|awk '{print $3}'`
```

## Running in dind (Docker in Docker) container

It is possible to run vpn-launchpad in dind container if Ubuntu is not your option. The following instructions will start a dind container with necessary local proxy port mappings, install package dependencies inside the container, create a non-root user with docker service access, and start vlp/lproxy consiquently.

```console
$ docker run --privileged --name vlpdind -p 1080:1080 -p 8123:8123 -p 65353:65353 -d docker:stable-dind
$ docker exec -it vlpdind sh
/ # apk add bash shadow git curl bind-tools whois
/ # adduser -s /bin/bash -D vlp
/ # usermod -aG root vlp
/ # su - vlp
72d645e47cb2:~$ git clone https://github.com/samuelhbne/vpn-launchpad
72d645e47cb2:~$ cd vpn-launchpad/
72d645e47cb2:~/vpn-launchpad$ ./vlp init
72d645e47cb2:~/vpn-launchpad$ ./vlp build --without-random --with-v2ray
72d645e47cb2:~/vpn-launchpad$ ./lproxy build v2ray
...
```
