Sample configuration

You can try our official Docker image

NOTICE: Using command line arguments for configurations is deprecated and inconvenient to save and share them! we recommend using JSON files, please see JSON section below!

Assume that we have a server example.com, we could use command

./dragonite-proxy -s -k uMadBro -p 27000 -l 100

to have it listening on UDP port 27000, limiting the maximum speed of each client to 100 Mbps, using encryption key uMadBro.

For clients,

./dragonite-proxy -a example.com -p 27000 -k uMadBro -d 100 -u 20 -r acl.txt

will connect to example.com:27000, telling the server our maximum download speed is 100 Mbps, upload speed is 20 Mbps, using encryption key uMadBro, and acl.txt as the access control rules.

Dragonite Proxy uses UDP port 5234 if there's no -p argument. Configure your firewall settings if necessary.

How to write an ACL file

The client will bind to local TCP port 1080 by default, providing a SOCKS5 proxy that supports CONNECT & UDP ASSOCIATE.

You can also create a text file stored in the directory args.txt to save your command line arguments. The application will load arguments from that file instead of using real command line arguments. This can be used to simplify the launch process.

JSON configuration

You can save the configuration as JSON files and use them like

./dragonite-proxy -c Japan1.json

Many fields are optional, just like the arguments above.

Server JSON configuration

The simplest configuration requires only two fields.

{
  "server": true,
  "password": "blahblah"
}

All supported fields are:

{
  "server": true,
  "addr": "example.com",
  "port": 9299,
  "password": "blahblah",
  "limit": 100,
  "welcome": "GTFO of my server!",
  "loopback": false,
  "mtu": 1300,
  "multiplier": 4,
  "webpanel": true,
  "paneladdr": "127.0.0.1",
  "panelport": 8088
}

Client JSON configuration

The simplest configuration requires only 4 fields.

{
  "addr": "example.com",
  "password": "blahblah",
  "up": 20,
  "down": 100
}

All supported fields are:

{
  "server": false,
  "addr": "example.com",
  "port": 9299,
  "socks5port": 1081,
  "password": "blahblah",
  "up": 20,
  "down": 100,
  "acl": "chn.txt",
  "mtu": 1300,
  "multiplier": 4,
  "webpanel": true,
  "paneladdr": "127.0.0.1",
  "panelport": 8088
}

About encryption

All traffic is encrypted with AES-128-CBC using key derived from PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1. The underlying Dragonite socket protocol itself is also encrypted. Wrong passwords will generate invalid packets that can't be decrypted. Invalid packets will be silently discarded, with no error info other than "connection failed".

Precautions

Correct bandwidth information is very important for Dragonite to operating at peak performance. If you are not sure, run several speed tests first.

Dragonite Proxy has a default MTU (maximum transmission unit, sets an upper bound on the size of UDP packets) of 1300. The receiver's buffer size is also based on the value of this option. If you need to modify this value, make sure that the clients and servers have the same MTU value.

The window size multiplier option is like the "aggressiveness" of the sender. If Dragonite Proxy is not fully utilizing the bandwidth, try to increase this value step by step.
