Features of the Android VPN Stack Suite:

  • Simple TCP/UDP socket server (with multi-thread support) (Linux platform), that implements open simple communication protocol (application level):
    • TCP:
      • The Client connects to the TCP Server;
      • The Client sends “socket_client: Hello” to the Server;
      • The Server reads message from the Client;
      • The Server sends “socket_server: Hello” to the Client;
      • The Client reads message from the Server;
      • The Client sends some text message (size 1024 with ‘\0’ symbol)  to the Server;
      • The Server reads text message from the Client and generates inverted message (src: “1234567890” -> inverted: “0987654321”);
      • The Server sends inverted message to the Client;
      • The Client reads message from the Server;
      • The Client send read message to the Server;
      • The Server reads text message from the Client and generates inverted message (src: “0987654321” -> inverted: “1234567890”);
      • The Server sends inverted message to the Client;
      • The Client reads message from the Server;
      • Last received message by the Client should be similar to the first message sent by Client to the Server;
    • UDP:
      • The Client connects to the TCP Server;
      • The Client sends “socket_client: Hello” to the Server;
      • The Server reads message from the Client;
      • The Server opens new UDP connection on new socket port;
      • The Server sends new UDP port number to the Client (using first connection);
      • The Client reads the UDP port number and closes first connection;
      • The Client creates new UDP connection, using received from Server port number;
      • The Client sends “socket_client: Hello” to the Server;
      • The Server reads message from the Client;
      • The Server sends “socket_server: Hello” to the Client;
      • … Then communication protocol (application level) is same as described in TCP section;
  • Simple TCP/UDP socket client (Microsoft Visual Studio C++, Windows platform), that implements previous described protocol;
  • Simple TCP/UDP socket client (Android Studio/Android SDK, Android platform), that implements previous described protocol;
  • VPN Stack Application, that (Android Studio/Android SDK/Android NDK/C, Android platform), that is based on VpnService (Android platform) and implements intermediate IP/TCP/UDP stack (JNI/C/Sockets);
  • VPN Stack Application provides catching, monitoring and processing TCP/UDP/ICMP/IP packages; Then these packages are processed (via JNI) at the Native API level;
  • VPN Stack Application can catch packages from some defined application (if text edit “Filtered Package Name” is defined) or from all applications (if text edit “Filtered Package Name” is empty);
  • VPN Stack Application creates tun0 device (after launching), which is used for catching TCP/UDP/ICMP/IP packages;
  • VPN Stack Application reads packages, sent from Android application(s) from tun0 device, provides processing these packages and creates new or uses saved (sessions) TCP connections (if Android Application sends TCP package) or just uses sendto (if Android Application sends TCP package);
  • VPN Stack Application receives all packages from network, provides processing these packages and writes packages to tun0 device, then packages will be received by Android application(s);
  • VPN Stack Application doesn’t use Raw Sockets;
  • VPN Stack Application writes detailed log to Logcat and to the file
    /data/data/com.smansoft.vpn_stack/files/logs/vpn_stack.log;
  • Follow applications from this suite:
    • Simple TCP/UDP socket server (with multi-thread support) (Linux platform);
    • Simple TCP/UDP socket client (Microsoft Visual Studio C++, Windows platform);
    • Simple TCP/UDP socket client (Android Studio/Android SDK, Android platform) have been created and have been used for testing network connections and for testing the VPN Stack Application;

VPN Stack Application implements follow schema of network stack processing:
