Overview

Client (SOCKS5) --> Transport --> Exit Node --> Internet

Requirements

  1. Golang v. 1.26.3+ - is required for building desktop client / exit node binary (universal-bypass-tool);
  2. Android Native Development Kit (NDK) v.27.0.12077973+ - is required for building Android client binary;
  3. XCode v. 26.6+ - is required for building iOS client binary;
  4. Linux VPS / VDS exit node.

Overview

TCP packets are sent via Transport. Currently, there are two transports available:

  1. Yandex - sends packets via Yandex Docs cursor messages;
  2. Max - sends packets via WebRTC DataChannel WARNING:
    • Do not use your primary or important MAX account.
    • Do not use an account whose deletion or loss of access would be critical.
    • Usage via an external VPS may lead to account restrictions.
    • The restriction may persist after stopping OpenFlux.
    • MAX transport should be considered experimental until the blocking mechanism is understood.

Client side runs a SOCKS5 proxy, exit node decapsulates and forwards packets to destination point.

Build (desktop client / exit-node binary)

go mod tidy
go build -o universal-bypass-tool .

Build for Android (client binary)

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=<your Android NDK path>
./build_android.sh

Build for iOS (client binary)

export XCODE_PATH="<your Xcode.app path>" # optional, defaults to /Applications/Xcode.app
./build_ios.sh

Usage

1. Setting up exit node

  1. You must have root access on exit node machine;
  2. Only legacy Yandex document editor is supported (you can toggle this setting from the interface).

The exit node's TCP connections live in a userspace stack (gvisor), so the kernel has no socket for them and would send an RST on every reply, tearing the tunnel down. That RST must be suppressed — but do it scoped, not host-wide. A blanket -j DROP on all outbound RSTs makes every closed port answer with silence (scanners see filtered instead of closed) and stops the host from resetting unrelated connections.

Recommended (scoped to a dedicated egress IP):

# give the box a second/alias IP for the tunnel, e.g. 203.0.113.10
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -s 203.0.113.10 -j DROP
sudo ./universal-bypass-tool --exit-node --local-ip 203.0.113.10 \
    --url "YOUR_YANDEX_DOC_URL" --debug

Even cleaner: run the exit node in its own network namespace / container so the rule never touches the host's main services. Note that -m owner --uid-owner does not work here — the tunnel-breaking RSTs are generated by the kernel with no owning socket, so the owner match never fires.

Host-wide fallback (only on a single-purpose box, understanding the trade-off):

sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP
sudo ./universal-bypass-tool --exit-node --url "YOUR_YANDEX_DOC_URL" --debug

1. Setting up desktop client:

Setup commands for desktop client:

./universal-bypass-tool --client --url "YOUR_YANDEX_DOC_URL" --socks5 :1080 --debug

Then set up SOCKS5 proxy in your browser at localhost:1080.

Flags

Flag Default Description
--client Run as client
--exit-node Run as exit node
--socks5 :1080 SOCKS5 listen address
--url https://localhost Document URL (Yandex Docs)
--maxToken `` Auth token (Max)
--maxUid `` User ID (Max)
--debug false Enable verbose logging
--transport yandex Select transport backend

Implementing custom transports

You are free to implement the Transport interface from transport/transport.go and register your custom transport in main.go switch block.
