GoodbyeDPI — Passive Deep Packet Inspection blocker and Active DPI circumvention utility
=========================
This software designed to bypass Deep Packet Inspection systems found in many Internet Service Providers which block access to certain websites.
2017-05-16 21:05:00 +00:00
It handles DPI connected using optical splitter or port mirroring (**Passive DPI**) which do not block any data but just replying faster than requested destination, and **Active DPI** connected in sequence.
2017-05-16 19:07:40 +00:00
**Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10** with administrator privileges required.
# How to use
Download [latest version from Releases page](https://github.com/ValdikSS/GoodbyeDPI/releases) and run.

```

Usage: goodbyedpi.exe [OPTION...]
-p block passive DPI
-r replace Host with hoSt
-s remove space between host header and its value
-f [value] set HTTP fragmentation to value
-e [value] set HTTPS fragmentation to value
-1 enables all options, -f 2 -e 2 (most compatible mode, default)
-2 enables all options, -f 2 -e 40 (better speed yet still compatible)
2017-05-17 19:02:22 +00:00
-3 all options except HTTP fragmentation, -e 40 (even better speed)
-4 all options except fragmentation (best speed)

Try to run `goodbyedpi.exe` without any arguments first. If you can open blocked websites it means your ISP has DPI which can be circumvented. This is the slowest mode.

Then try `goodbyedpi.exe -2`. It should be faster for HTTPS sites. Mode `-3` speed ups HTTP websites.

Use `goodbyedpi.exe -4` if it works for your ISP's DPI. This is the fastest mode but not compatible with every DPI.

# How does it work
### Passive DPI
2017-05-16 21:05:00 +00:00
Most Passive DPI send HTTP 301 Redirect if you try to access blocked website over HTTP and TCP Reset in case of HTTPS, faster than destination website. Packets sent by DPI have always have IP Identification field equal to `0x0000` or `0x0001`, as seen with Russian providers. These packets are blocked by GoodbyeDPI.

### Active DPI
Active DPI is more tricky to fool. Currently the software uses 3 methods to circumvent Active DPI:
* TCP-level fragmentation for first data packet
* Replacing `Host` header with `hoSt`
* Removing space between header name and value in `Host` header
These methods do not break any website as are fully compatible with TCP and HTTP standards, yet it's sufficient to prevent DPI data classification and to circumvent censorship.

The program loads WinDivert driver which uses Windows Filtering Platform to set filters and redirect packets to the userspace. It's running as long as console window is visible and terminates when you close the window.
# How to build from source
This project can be build using **GNU Make** and [**mingw**](https://mingw-w64.org). The only dependency is [WinDivert](https://github.com/basil00/Divert).
To build x86 exe run:
`make CPREFIX=i686-w64-mingw32 WINDIVERTHEADERS=/path/to/windivert/include WINDIVERTLIBS=/path/to/windivert/x86`
And for x86_64:
`make CPREFIX=x86_64-w64-mingw32 WINDIVERTHEADERS=/path/to/windivert/include WINDIVERTLIBS=/path/to/windivert/amd64`

# Kudos
Thanks @basil00 for [WinDivert](https://github.com/basil00/Divert). That's the main part of this program.
Thanks for every [BlockCheck](https://github.com/ValdikSS/blockcheck) contributor. It would be impossible to understand DPI behaviour without this utility.
