ftorto/byebyeproxy repository overview

⁠byebyeproxy

Say "byebye" to corporate proxy by running this docker image

You don't have to waste your time configuring your laptop apps several times when you change the network with different proxy configuration

⁠Explanation

This image intercepts and redirects all host traffic to a local transparent proxy (redsocks) using iptables rules. iptables rules are setup inside docker image but due to --privileged flag, this acts on host computer.

The proxy will redirect intercepted trafic to the specified corporate proxy specified in configuration file.

⁠Limitations

You could brake iptables rules if container is killed. You can try this command or reboot your computer:

docker run -it --net=host --privileged -d \
  -v ${HOME}/.byebyeproxy:/app/config \
  ftorto/byebyeproxy:latest stop

⁠Build the image

docker build . -t ftorto/byebyeproxy:latest

⁠Configuring

• fill in the file ${HOME}/.byebyeproxy/config.yml

⁠Start byebyeproxy

• Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json to add specfic DNS and reload the configuration

sudo vi /etc/docker/daemon.json
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

• Start byebyeproxy

docker run -it --net=host --privileged=true -d \
  -v ${HOME}/.byebyeproxy:/app/config \
  ftorto/byebyeproxy:latest

⁠Semi-automated usage

• on.sh and off.sh are 2 scripts that allow the activation/deactivation of byebyeproxy based on a configuration file containing proxy settings ~/.byebyeproxy.conf.
• Use INSTALL.sh to create links and install configuration file and scripts
  • Have a look at it before to know what it's doing. I don't have handled all cases.
