• Standard HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy

gost -L=:8080

• Proxy authentication

gost -L=admin:123456@localhost:8080

• Multiple sets of authentication information

gost -L=localhost:8080?secrets=secrets.txt

The secrets parameter allows you to set multiple authentication information for HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies, the format is:

# username password

test001 123456
test002 12345678

• Listen on multiple ports

gost -L=http2://:443 -L=socks5://:1080 -L=ss://aes-128-cfb:123456@:8338

gost -L=:8080 -F=192.168.1.1:8081

• Forward proxy authentication

gost -L=:8080 -F=http://admin:[email protected]:8081

gost -L=:8080 -F=quic://192.168.1.1:6121 -F=socks5+wss://192.168.1.2:1080 -F=http2://192.168.1.3:443 ... -F=a.b.c.d:NNNN

Gost forwards the request to a.b.c.d:NNNN through the proxy chain in the order set by -F, each forward proxy can be any HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2/SOCKS4/SOCKS5/Shadowsocks type.

gost -L=tcp://:2222/192.168.1.1:22 [-F=...]

The data on the local TCP port 2222 is forwarded to 192.168.1.1:22 (through the proxy chain). If the last node of the chain (the last -F parameter) is a SSH forwad tunnel, then gost will use the local port forwarding function of SSH directly:

gost -L=tcp://:2222/192.168.1.1:22 -F forward+ssh://:2222

gost -L=udp://:5353/192.168.1.1:53?ttl=60 [-F=...]

The data on the local UDP port 5353 is forwarded to 192.168.1.1:53 (through the proxy chain). Each forwarding channel has a timeout period. When this time is exceeded and there is no data interaction during this time period, the channel will be closed. The timeout value can be set by the ttl parameter. The default value is 60 seconds.

NOTE: When forwarding UDP data, if there is a proxy chain, the end of the chain (the last -F parameter) must be gost SOCKS5 proxy, gost will use UDP-over-TCP to forward data.

gost -L=rtcp://:2222/192.168.1.1:22 [-F=... -F=socks5://172.24.10.1:1080]

The data on 172.24.10.1:2222 is forwarded to 192.168.1.1:22 (through the proxy chain). If the last node of the chain (the last -F parameter) is a SSH tunnel, then gost will use the remote port forwarding function of SSH directly:

gost -L=rtcp://:2222/192.168.1.1:22 -F forward+ssh://:2222

gost -L=rudp://:5353/192.168.1.1:53?ttl=60 [-F=... -F=socks5://172.24.10.1:1080]

The data on 172.24.10.1:5353 is forwarded to 192.168.1.1:53 (through the proxy chain). Each forwarding channel has a timeout period. When this time is exceeded and there is no data interaction during this time period, the channel will be closed. The timeout value can be set by the ttl parameter. The default value is 60 seconds.

NOTE: When forwarding UDP data, if there is a proxy chain, the end of the chain (the last -F parameter) must be gost SOCKS5 proxy, gost will use UDP-over-TCP to forward data.

Gost HTTP2 supports two modes:

• As a standard HTTP2 proxy, and backwards-compatible with the HTTPS proxy.

• As a transport tunnel.

Server:

gost -L=http2://:443

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=http2://server_ip:443?ping=30

Server:

gost -L=h2://:443

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=h2://server_ip:443

Support for QUIC is based on library quic-go.

Server:

gost -L=quic://:6121

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=quic://server_ip:6121

NOTE: QUIC node can only be used as the first node of the proxy chain.

Support for KCP is based on libraries kcp-go and kcptun.

Server:

gost -L=kcp://:8388

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=kcp://server_ip:8388

Gost will automatically load kcp.json configuration file from current working directory if exists, or you can use the parameter to specify the path to the file.

gost -L=kcp://:8388?c=/path/to/conf/file

NOTE: KCP node can only be used as the first node of the proxy chain.

Gost SSH supports two modes:

• As a forward tunnel, used by local/remote TCP port forwarding.

• As a transport tunnel.

Server:

gost -L=forward+ssh://:2222

Client:

gost -L=rtcp://:1222/:22 -F=forward+ssh://server_ip:2222

Server:

gost -L=ssh://:2222

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=ssh://server_ip:2222?ping=60

The client supports the ping parameter to enable heartbeat detection (which is disabled by default). Parameter value represents heartbeat interval seconds.

Iptables-based transparent proxy

gost -L=redirect://:12345 -F=http2://server_ip:443

Contributed by @isofew.

Server:

gost -L=obfs4://:443

When the server is running normally, the console prints out the connection address for the client to use:

obfs4://:443/?cert=4UbQjIfjJEQHPOs8vs5sagrSXx1gfrDCGdVh2hpIPSKH0nklv1e4f29r7jb91VIrq4q5Jw&iat-mode=0

Client:

gost -L=:8888 -F='obfs4://server_ip:443?cert=4UbQjIfjJEQHPOs8vs5sagrSXx1gfrDCGdVh2hpIPSKH0nklv1e4f29r7jb91VIrq4q5Jw&iat-mode=0'

For HTTP, you can use TLS to encrypt the entire communication process, the HTTPS proxy:

Server:

gost -L=http+tls://:443

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=http+tls://server_ip:443

Gost HTTP2 proxy mode only supports the use of TLS encrypted HTTP2 protocol, does not support plaintext HTTP2.

Gost HTTP2 tunnel mode supports both encryption (h2) and plaintext (h2c) modes.

Gost supports the standard SOCKS5 protocol methods: no-auth (0x00) and user/pass (0x02), and extends two methods for data encryption: tls(0x80) and tls-auth(0x82).

Server:

gost -L=socks://:1080

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=socks://server_ip:1080

If both ends are gosts (as example above), the data transfer will be encrypted (using tls or tls-auth). Otherwise, use standard SOCKS5 for communication (no-auth or user/pass).

Support for shadowsocks is based on library shadowsocks-go.

Server:

gost -L=ss://aes-128-cfb:123456@:8338

Client:

gost -L=:8080 -F=ss://aes-128-cfb:123456@server_ip:8338

Currently, only the server supports UDP Relay.

Server:

gost -L=ssu://aes-128-cfb:123456@:8338

There is built-in TLS certificate in gost, if you need to use other TLS certificate, there are two ways:

• Place two files cert.pem (public key) and key.pem (private key) in the current working directory, gost will automatically load them.

• Use the parameter to specify the path to the certificate file:

gost -L="http2://:443?cert=/path/to/my/cert/file&key=/path/to/my/key/file"

Client can specify secure parameter to perform server's certificate chain and host name verification:

gost -L=:8080 -F="http2://server_domain_name:443?secure=true"

Client can specify a CA certificate to allow for Certificate Pinning:

gost -L=:8080 -F="http2://:443?ca=ca.pem"

Certificate Pinning is contributed by @sheerun.
