NaïveProxy is a cross-platform proxy that uses Chromium's network stack to camouflage traffic and provides strong censorship resistence and low detectablility when bypassing the Great Firewall of China. It can mitigate TLS fingerprint issues which lead to detection and survived large scale blocking of TLS-based censorship circumvention tools in China. It requires a `naiveproxy` client and requires a Caddy server with `forwardproxy` module to work.

## Installation

Install naiveproxyAUR or naiveproxy-gitAUR for latest development build and run `naiveproxy config.json`. Here is an example config file:

    config.json

    {
      "listen": "socks://127.0.0.1:1080",
      "proxy": "https://myUsername:myStrongPassword@my.domain"
    }

## Configuration

Naiveproxy cannot run without a caddy server with forwardproxy module. You can build it with `xcaddy`:

    $ go install github.com/caddyserver/xcaddy/cmd/xcaddy@latest
    $ ~/go/bin/xcaddy build --with github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy@caddy2=github.com/klzgrad/forwardproxy@naive

Then, config caddy:

    /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

    {
      order forward_proxy before file_server
    }
    :443, my.domain:443 {
      tls /etc/caddy/ssl.cer /etc/caddy/ssl.key
      forward_proxy {
        basic_auth myUsername myStrongPassword
        hide_ip
        hide_via
        probe_resistance
      }
      file_server {
        root /var/www/html
      }
    }

Note that `:443` must appear first for this Caddyfile to work. See Caddyfile docs for how to configure TLS certificates.

Then start caddy server:

    # setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep ./caddy && ./caddy start

You may also want to run caddy as a damon.
