ADNL Tunnel is an implementation of an ADNL proxy that allows you to rent a gateway and tunnel your ADNL traffic through other servers, with the option to pay for traffic via the TON Payment Network.
This can tunnel only ADNL packets, and not works like VPN, it also cannot work as HTTP proxy, this tool is made to protect from direct attacks in decentralized TON network
Install golang 1.23.3+
Run make binary, it will compile server binary.
If you want to compile native static library to integrate into some c++ project run make library
-
Run the executable.
This will generate aconfig.jsonfile in the working directory. -
Check the configuration file and make sure that the
ExternalIPfield contains the correct value of your external IP address.
If it is empty, you need to open the necessary ports and ensure that your provider gives you a public and static IP. -
Share ADNL ID displayed in console to your users, so they can tunnel their packets through your server.
If you want to charge users for packet tunneling:
- Set
PaymentsEnabledtotruein the config file. - Set
MinPricePerPacketRouteandMinPricePerPacketInOutvalues to define the price per packet in nano TON. - Restart the service.
- Top up the wallet address displayed in the console.
- On the first run, you will be prompted to enter the key of the payment node you want to connect to.
- Enter the payment node key to deploy the contract.
- Request the payment node service to deposit a reserve amount into this contract.
- Once the payment contract has a deposit, you can start accepting payments.
speed - every second shows packets per second for each active tunnel
balance - shows current earned amount
capacity - shows how much deposit left from payment node (it transforms to balance, sho it should always be positive to accept coins)
It depends on specific tool, for example it is integrated into TON Node and can protect validators from DDoS attacks, see how to connect in it's repository.
