Refraction Networking Client

Refraction Networking is a free-to-use anti-censorship technology, that places proxies at Internet Service Providers, so they are harder to block. This client includes support for both the TapDance and Conjure protocols

Build

Download Golang and TapDance and dependencies

  1. Install Golang (currently tested against version 1.10 and latest).

  2. Get source code for Go TapDance and all dependencies:

go get -d -u -t github.com/refraction-networking/gotapdance/...

Ignore the "no buildable Go source files" warning.

If you have outdated versions of libraries used, you might want to do go get -u all.

Usage

There are 3 supported ways to use TapDance:

package main

import (
	"github.com/refraction-networking/gotapdance/tapdance"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
    // first, copy ClientConf and roots files into assets directory
    // make sure assets directory is writable (only) by the td process
    tapdance.AssetsSetDir("./path/to/assets/dir/")

    tdConn, err := tapdance.Dial("tcp", "censoredsite.com:80")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("tapdance.Dial() failed: %+v\n", err)
        return
    }
    // tdConn implements standard net.Conn, allowing to use it like any other Golang conn with
    // Write(), Read(), Close() etc. It also allows to pass tdConn to functions that expect
    // net.Conn, such as tls.Client() making it easy to do tls handshake over TapDance conn.
    _, err = tdConn.Write([]byte("GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: censoredsite.com\n\n"))
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("tdConn.Write() failed: %+v\n", err)
        return
    }
    buf := make([]byte, 16384)
    _, err = tdConn.Read(buf)
    // ...
}

Refraction Networking is an umbrella term for the family of similarly working technnologies.
