1.0.0-BETA-11-DEV-1 pre release

Features

This is a pre released, mainly because of the first release of my Chara project, which uses vproxy as its threading and networking base. Though the following features are tested at least once and are supposed to be working as expected.
The release of 1.0.0-BETA-11 will come later with more modifications and a full test.

User space TCP stack

Add a TCP stack run in userspace as a part of the vproxy Switch lib.

1. listen on an address
2. accept new connections
3. read data and automatically send ack
4. write data and automatically retransmit
5. FIN and RST
6. simple window based congestion control

Docker network plugin

Add a new feature to drive docker network based on the vproxy Switch lib. The containers can run above the vproxy virtual networking stack, and cloud be manipulated via docker commands or via vproxy commands.

Improvement

1. support to dispatch requests based on uri (previously only support to dispatch by Host header)
2. allow to upload CertKeys via api
3. add AbstractProcessor to simplify the processor code
4. better jlink support
5. vjson lib upgrade to 1.2.1 to fix charset issues
6. change configuration storage locations

1.0.0-BETA-10 release

Features

SDN

Added software vxlan switch support: tap and vxlan and trunk.

1. tap device for linux, macos and windows
2. support vxlan packets
3. exchange vxlan packets between switches
4. encrypted link from switch to switch
5. synthetic ip and routes

Mirror

Allow software to generate packets to tap devices and use tcpdump to capture them.

This helps debug the SSL buffers, kcp arq fds etc.

Modular

Use gradle and Jigsaw modular system to modularize vproxy into small components.

Fix

1. AbstractWrapBuffer fix: SSL used to hang in some cases

1.0.0-BETA-9 release

Features

1. Kubernetes integration, visit vpctl for more info.
2. Support HTTP and DNS health check. protocol http/dns.
3. Use annotations to determine detailed health check arguments. See AnnotationKeys.java.
4. Record health check time cost for each server.
5. Record health check fail reason for each server.
6. Support to watch health check events.
7. Support to modify listOfCertKey in TcpLb.
8. Support better direct-relay mechanism in vpws-agent.

Change

1. Now http-controller and resp-controller are launched by default on startup (127.0.0.1:18776 and 16379).
2. WebSocksProxyAgent config upgrade

Removal

1. Remove the discovery module. Since now we support k8s, there's no need to implement a discovery module by ourselves.

1.0.0-BETA-8 release

Features

default discovery config

Now discovery is enabled by default. The default configuration will be based on the current nic config.

SRV records

Use SRV to retrieve all servers handled by the dns server.

Upgrade

1. certificate selection should consider common name
2. support alpn proxy in https relay
3. support annotations in server-group/upstream
4. change pac.address to pac.listen

Doc

1. http api doc
2. add vpctl doc
3. better README format (add detail tags)

Tools

Visit here for more info.

vpctl

The control program for the vproxy instance.

1.0.0-BETA-7 release

Features

DNS

1. Add a DNS Client, and remove the use of JDK DNS impl.
2. Add a DNS Server and corresponding API
3. DNS Server supports customized A/AAAA records based on server-group names

SSL

1. Support SNI on server side, automatically select certs based on SNI

WebSocksProxyServer/Agent

1. Server: Add an api to resolve domains.
2. Server: Support webroot for some small static files
3. Agent: Support dns resolve. You may choose some domains to be resolved on server side
4. Agent: Support https relay. Netflow can automatically be proxied just by setting the DNS address and adding a root CA cert on devices.
5. Both: Support to compress kcp-tunnel netflow

Improvement

1. Support graalvm native-image (the latest graalvm native-image supports JDK11 and DatagramChannel)
2. Add some scripts to generate self signed CA cert and certs for specific domains
3. Add a Makefile to automate the building process
