TUN interfaces
==============

This crate allows the creation and usage of TUN interfaces, the aim is to make this cross-platform.
Now that I (@ssrlive) am a co-contributor of the [tun](https://crates.io/crates/tun) crate,
this crate is no longer maintained and all code is merged into the [tun](https://crates.io/crates/tun) crate.
Usage
-----
First, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
tun2 = "4"
```
If you want to use the TUN interface with mio/tokio, you need to enable the `async` feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
tun2 = { version = "4", features = ["async"] }
```
Example
-------
The following example creates and configures a TUN interface and starts reading
packets from it.
```rust
use std::io::Read;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
let mut config = tun2::Configuration::default();
config
.address((10, 0, 0, 9))
.netmask((255, 255, 255, 0))
.destination((10, 0, 0, 1))
.up();
#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
config.platform_config(|config| {
// requiring root privilege to acquire complete functions
config.ensure_root_privileges(true);
});
let mut dev = tun2::create(&config)?;
let mut buf = [0; 4096];
loop {
let amount = dev.read(&mut buf)?;
println!("{:?}", &buf[0..amount]);
}
}
```
Platforms
=========
## Supported Platforms
- [x] Windows
- [x] Linux
- [x] macOS
- [x] FreeBSD
- [x] Android
- [x] iOS
Linux
-----
You will need the `tun` module to be loaded and root is required to create
interfaces.
macOS & FreeBSD
-----
`tun2` will automatically set up a route according to the provided configuration, which does a similar thing like this:
> sudo route -n add -net 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.1
iOS
----
You can pass the file descriptor of the TUN device to `tun2` to create the interface.
Here is an example to create the TUN device on iOS and pass the `fd` to `tun2`:
```swift
// Swift
class PacketTunnelProvider: NEPacketTunnelProvider {
override func startTunnel(options: [String : NSObject]?, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) {
let tunnelNetworkSettings = createTunnelSettings() // Configure TUN address, DNS, mtu, routing...
setTunnelNetworkSettings(tunnelNetworkSettings) { [weak self] error in
// The tunnel of this tunFd is contains `Packet Information` prifix.
let tunFd = self?.packetFlow.value(forKeyPath: "socket.fileDescriptor") as! Int32
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .default).async {
start_tun(tunFd)
}
completionHandler(nil)
}
}
}
```
```rust
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn start_tun(fd: std::os::raw::c_int) {
let mut rt = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap();
rt.block_on(async {
let mut cfg = tun2::Configuration::default();
cfg.raw_fd(fd);
#[cfg(target_os = "ios")]
cfg.platform_config(|p_cfg| {
p_cfg.packet_information(true);
});
let mut tun = tun2::create_as_async(&cfg).unwrap();
let mut framed = tun.into_framed();
while let Some(packet) = framed.next().await {
...
}
});
}
```
Windows
-----
You need to copy the [wintun.dll](https://wintun.net/) file which matches your architecture to
the same directory as your executable and run your program as administrator.
