ShadowFire

A Free Fire-optimized MITM proxy, forked from mitmproxy. ShadowFire combines a full-featured HTTPS interception proxy with a dedicated Free Fire bypass pipeline.

Features

Core Proxy (forked from mitmproxy)

  • Interactive console UI, headless dump mode, and web UI
  • HTTP/1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and WebSocket interception
  • TLS interception with dynamic certificate generation
  • TCP, UDP, and DNS proxy modes
  • Scriptable via Python addons
  • Full mitmproxy addon ecosystem compatibility

Free Fire Bypass Addon

  • Login interception — hooks into Free Fire API domains (loginbp.ggblueshark.com, prod-api.reward.ff.garena.com, etc.)
  • UID blocking — inspect raw TCP streams and block connections by UID
  • Fingerprint masking — strips proxy-detection headers (Via, X-Forwarded-For, etc.) and rewrites User-Agent
  • JWT forwarding — integrates with the access_jwt token mutation service
  • Runtime commands — ff.block_uid, ff.unblock_uid, ff.list_blocked

Backend Pipeline

  • Raw TCP forwarder on :9999 — bidirectional byte-level proxy with game-layer AES decrypt
  • JWT mutation service on :1080 — template-based protobuf payload rewriting
  • Admin HTTP API on :5000 — UID management, stats, health checks
  • UID sync loop — pulls blocklists from remote API every 120s

Architecture

Emulator → Raw Forwarder (:9999) → ShadowFire Proxy (:8080) → Game Servers
                                         ↕
                              access_jwt Service (:1080)
                                    (JWT mutation)

Quick Start

# Install
pip install shadowfire

# Start the proxy
shadowfire

# Start the web UI
shadowfire web

# Start headless dump mode
shadowfire dump

Free Fire Pipeline

# Terminal 1: Start the backend services
cd new/python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

# Terminal 2: Start ShadowFire with the bypass addon
shadowfire -s shadowfire/addons/firebypass.py --set ff_bypass=true

Configure your emulator to use the proxy at the host machine's LAN IP on port 8080, and the raw forwarder on port 9999.

Configuration

ShadowFire reads ~/.shadowfire/config.yaml on startup. Key options:

Option Default Description
listen_port 8080 Proxy listen port
mode regular Proxy mode (regular, transparent, socks5, reverse, upstream)
ssl_insecure false Disable upstream TLS verification
ff_bypass true Enable Free Fire bypass addon
ff_blocked_uids [] UIDs to block
ff_access_jwt_url http://127.0.0.1:1080 JWT mutation service URL
ff_mask_fingerprint true Strip proxy fingerprints
