# openconnect + tinyproxy + microsocks
This Docker image contains an [openconnect client](http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/) (version 8.04 with pulse/juniper support) and the [tinyproxy proxy server](https://tinyproxy.github.io/) for http/s connections (default on port 8888) and the [microsocks proxy](https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks) for socks5 connections (default on port 8889) in a very small [alpine linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) image (around 60 MB).
You can find the image on docker hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/wazum/openconnect-proxy
# Requirements
If you don't want to set the environment variables on the command line
set the environment variables in a `.env` file:
OPENCONNECT_URL=<Gateway URL>
OPENCONNECT_USER=<Username>
OPENCONNECT_PASSWORD=<Password>
OPENCONNECT_OPTIONS=--authgroup <VPN Group> \
--servercert <VPN Server Certificate> --protocol=<Protocol> \
--reconnect-timeout 86400
_(don't use quotes around the values!)_
Either set the password in the `.env` file or leave the variable `OPENCONNECT_PASSWORD` unset, so you get prompted when starting up the container.
Optionally set a multi factor authentication code:
OPENCONNECT_MFA_CODE=<Multi factor authentication code>
You can also change the ports the proxies are listening on (these are the default values):
HTTPS_PROXY_PORT=8888
SOCKS5_PROXY_PORT=8889
# Run container in foreground
To start the container in foreground run:
docker run -it --rm --privileged --env-file=.env --net host wazum/openconnect-proxy
Either use `--net host` or `-p 8888:8888 -p 8889:8889` to make the proxy ports available on the host.
Without using a `.env` file set the environment variables on the command line with the docker run option `-e`:
docker run … -e OPENCONNECT_URL=vpn.gateway.com/example \
-e OPENCONNECT_OPTIONS='<Openconnect Options>' \
-e OPENCONNECT_USER=<Username>
# Run container in background
To start the container in daemon mode (background) set the `-d` option:
docker run -d -it --rm …
In daemon mode you can view the stderr log with `docker logs`:
docker logs `docker ps|grep "wazum/openconnect-proxy"|awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`
# Configure proxy
The container is connected via _openconnect_ and now you can configure your browser
and other software to use one of the proxies (8888 for http/s or 8889 for socks).
For example FoxyProxy (available for Firefox, Chrome) is a suitable browser extension.
You may also set environment variables:
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8888/"
export https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8888/"
composer, git (if you don't use the git+ssh protocol, see below) and others use these.
# ssh through the proxy
You need nc (netcat), corkscrew or something similar to make this work.
Unfortunately some git clients (e.g. Gitkraken) don't use the settings from ssh config
and you can't pull/push from a repository that's reachable (DNS resolution) only through VPN.
## nc (netcat, ncat)
Set a `ProxyCommand` in your `~/.ssh/config` file like
Host <hostname>
ProxyCommand nc -x 127.0.0.1:8889 %h %p
or (depending on your ncat version)
Host <hostname>
ProxyCommand ncat --proxy 127.0.0.1:8889 --proxy-type socks5 %h %p
and your connection will be passed through the proxy.
The above example is for using git with ssh keys.
## corkscrew
An alternative is _corkscrew_ (e.g. install with `brew install corkscrew` on mac OS)
Host <hostname>
ProxyCommand corkscrew 127.0.0.1 8888 %h %p
# Build
You can build the container yourself with
docker build -f build/Dockerfile -t wazum/openconnect-proxy:custom ./build
