arkcserver 0.2-beta4

#ArkC-client

ArkC is a lightweight proxy based on Python 3 and PyCrypto. It is designed to be proof to IP blocking measures.

ArkC-Client is the client-side utility. It may require NAT configuration if the client is behind a router.

##Setup and Requirement

Running ArkC-Client requires Python 3 and PyCrypto.

For Debian or Ubuntu users:

```
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev python3-psutil obfs4proxy
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

NAT configuration may be necessary to make the client receives requests from the server, so that a connection may start.

##Usage

Run

```
python3 main.py [-h] [-v|-vv] -c <Path of the config Json file, default = config.json>
```

In this version, any private certificate should be in the form of PEM without encryption, while any public certificate should be in the form of ssh-rsa. Note that ssh-rsa files should not include extra blank lines because they are used for hash.

For the configuration file, you can find an example here:

```
{
"remote_control_host":"example.com",
"local_cert":"client.pem",
"remote_cert":"server.pub",
"local_cert_pub":"client.pub",
"control_domain":"testing.arkc.org",
"dns_servers": [
["8.8.8.8", 53],
["127.0.0.1", 9000]
],
"obfs_level":0
}
```

For a full list of settings:

| Index name | Value Type & Description | Required / Default|
| ----------------------|:------------------------:| -----------------:|
| local_host | str, proxy listening addr| "127.0.0.1" |
| local_port | integer, proxy port | 8001 |
| remote_host | str, listening host | "0.0.0.0" |
| remote_port | integer, listening port | 8000 |
| number | integer, how many conn. (max. 100) | 3 |
| local_cert | str, path of client pri | REQUIRED |
| local_cert_pub | str, path of client pub | REQUIRED |
| remote_cert | str, path of server pub | REQUIRED |
| control_domain | str, standard domain | REQUIRED |
| dns_server | list, servers to send dns query to | [] (use system resolver)|
| debug_ip | str, address of the client (only for debug use) | None |
| pt_exec | str, command line of PT executable | "obfs4proxy" |
| obfs_level | integer, obfs leve 0~3, the same as server side | 0 |

Note: if obfs_level is set, pt_exec must be appropriate set. It is set to use obfs4 or MEEK, both Tor pluggable transport (abbr: PT). MEEK is like GoAgent, and obfs4 is used to obfuscate all the traffic.

If set to 1 or 2, Obfs4 will use an IAT mode of (obfs_level + 1), which means if obfs_level is set to 1 or 2, the connection speed may be affected.

If obfs_level is set to 3, MEEK will be used to transmit all data via a pre-configured MEEK service at the server side. By default it passes through Google App Engine.

##Build on Windows
```
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller [--onefile] main.py
```
