I'm trying to implement a simple firewall for android with VpnService for BS project. I choose VpnService because it will be working on non-rooted devices. It will log connections and let you filter connection. (Based on IP)
There is an application doing this so it is possible.
I did some research and found that VpnService creates a Tun interface. Nothing more. (No VPN implementation just a tunnel) It lets you give an adress to this interface and add routes. It returns a file descriptor. You can read outgoing packages and write incoming packages.
I created a VpnService derived class and I started service. I can configure tun0 with VpnService.Builder class. When I look at mobiwol's connection with adb shell netcfg it creates a tun0 interface with 10.2.3.4/32 address. It routes all packages to this private network and send to internet. I'm trying the same. Created an interface with 10.0.0.2/32 address. Added a route with addRoute function. 0.0.0.0/0 so I can capture all packages from all network as far as I understand. (Im pretty new to this subject and still learning. I found pieces over internet so I'm not really sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
I created 2 threads in service. One reads from file descriptor and writes it to 127.0.0.1 with a protected socket. ( Im not really sure if I should read/write to 127.0.0.1. Maybe this is the problem. )
I analyzed packets that I read from file descriptor. For example:
01000101 byte:69 //ipv4 20byte header
00000000 byte:0 //TOS
00000000 byte:0 //Total Length
00111100 byte:60 //Total Length
11111100 byte:-4 //ID
11011011 byte:-37 //ID
01000000 byte:64 //fragment
00000000 byte:0 //"
01000000 byte:64 //TTL
00000110 byte:6 //Protocol 6 -> TCP
01011110 byte:94 //Header checksum
11001111 byte:-49 //Header checksum
00001010 byte:10 //10.0.0.2
00000000 byte:0
00000000 byte:0
00000010 byte:2
10101101 byte:-83 //173.194.39.78 //google
00111110 byte:-62
00100111 byte:39
******** byte:78
10110100 byte:-76 // IP option
01100101 byte:101
00000001 byte:1
10111011 byte:-69
//20byte IP haeder
01101101 byte:109
. . //40byte data (i couldnt parse TCP header,
I think its not needed when I route this in IP layer)
. .
. .
00000110 byte:6
I didnt find any other IP header in the rest of data. I think there should be an encapsulation between 10.0.0.2 network to local network (192.168.2.1) and internet. I'm not sure.
My real problem is I stuck on the incoming packages thread. I can't read anything. No response. As you can see in screenshot no incoming data:
I'm trying to read from the same connection which I'm using for writing to 127.0.0.1 with protected socket.
Android <-> Tun Interface (tun0) <-> Internet connection
All packages <-> 10.0.0.2 <-> 127.0.0.1? <-> 192.168.2.1 <-> Internet?
I couldnt find anything helpful about VpnService. (ToyVPN example is just useless) I read documents about Linux Tun/Tap but its about tunnelling between host and remote. I want host and remote on same device. Not like tunneling.
How can I do this?
Edit: Code requested. It is in very early stage. As I mentioned before it is a VpnService derived class. 2 threads (reading and writing) created in service thread.
