OSTP — Ospab Stealth Transport Protocol

Русский язык · Wiki · Contributing · Releases

OSTP (Ospab Stealth Transport Protocol) is a high-performance, censorship-resistant transport protocol designed to tunnel TCP traffic over UDP with full traffic obfuscation. Every byte on the wire — including packet headers — is cryptographically indistinguishable from random noise. Resistant to Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), active probing, and statistical traffic analysis.

Key Features

Feature	Description
Full Traffic Obfuscation	Every packet — including headers — is indistinguishable from random noise. Session IDs and nonces are masked with per-packet HMAC-derived keys.
Noise Protocol Handshake	Noise_NNpsk0_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2s — PSK-authenticated, forward-secret key exchange with no static identity exposure.
Reliable UDP (ARQ)	Selective ACK/NACK with rate-limited retransmission, configurable reorder buffer, and exponential backoff.
Multiplexed Streams	Multiple logical TCP streams over a single encrypted UDP session with per-stream flow control.
Seamless Roaming	Clients can switch networks (WiFi ↔ LTE) without session interruption — tracked by session-ID, not IP.
Management API	Built-in REST API for third-party panels (3x-ui, custom dashboards). Per-user stats, traffic limits, key CRUD.
Fallback Server	TCP fallback proxy to a web server — makes OSTP indistinguishable from nginx during active probing.
Multi-Listener	Bind to multiple addresses simultaneously (dual-stack IPv4/IPv6, multi-port).
TUN Mode	Full-system VPN via tun2socks integration. All traffic transparently routed through the tunnel.
xHTTP Stealth (UoT)	UDP-over-TCP tunnel disguised as standard HTTP/1.1 or TLS traffic to bypass Level 1 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) whitelists.
XTLS-Reality	Custom, dependency-free implementation of the Reality protocol using ChaCha20Poly1305 and X25519 for perfect TLS 1.3 impersonation.
TURN Relay	RFC 5766 TURN support for environments where direct UDP is blocked.
Hot-Reload	Runtime config reload without restart (access keys, exclusions, mux settings).
Structured Logging	tracing-based logging with RUST_LOG filtering. JSON/file/syslog output support.
Cross-Platform	Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, FreeBSD, MIPS, RISC-V. Single binary, no runtime dependencies.

Quick Start

1. Generate config

# On your VPS (server):
./ostp --init server

# On your machine (client):
./ostp --init client

2. Edit config

Server — set your access keys:

{
  "mode": "server",
  "listen": "0.0.0.0:50000",
  "access_keys": ["YOUR_SECRET_KEY"],
  "api": { "enabled": true, "bind": "127.0.0.1:9090", "token": "admin-token" },
  "fallback": { "enabled": false, "listen": "0.0.0.0:443", "target": "127.0.0.1:8080" }
}

Client — point to your server:

{
  "mode": "client",
  "server": "YOUR_SERVER_IP:50000",
  "access_key": "YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
  "socks5_bind": "127.0.0.1:1088",
  "transport": { "mode": "udp", "stealth_sni": "vk.com", "stealth_port": 443 },
  "tun": { "enable": false, "dns": "1.1.1.1" }
}

3. Run

./ostp                        # Uses config.json in current directory
./ostp --config /path/to.json # Custom config path
./ostp --check                # Validate config without running
./ostp --generate-key         # Generate a new access key
./ostp --links                # Print client share links

4. Connect via share link (one-liner)

./ostp "ostp://ACCESS_KEY@server.com:50000?..."

[!WARNING] Always wrap the ostp://... link in quotes (") so your terminal doesn't misinterpret special characters like & or ?.

Management API

Built-in REST API for building panels and dashboards.

# Server status
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mytoken" http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/server/status

# List all users with traffic stats  
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mytoken" http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/users

# Create a user with 10GB traffic limit
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer mytoken" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit_bytes": 10737418240}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/users
