Commit 0522ae8 added inline DNS resolution (PreferGo: true) in Resolve(),
resolving domain names to IPs before routing. This caused the SOCKS5
connector to send CONNECT with ATYP=IPv4 instead of ATYP=domain, breaking
chains where the backend (e.g., ssh -D) cannot reach the gost-resolved IP.
Revert the DNS fallback in Resolve() — return the address unchanged so
the original hostname flows through the proxy chain. Instead, add
net.Resolver{PreferGo: true} to the TCP dialer in internal/net/dialer,
which resolves DNS at the point of actual TCP connection — still pure
Go (no cgo thread exhaustion) but after the proxy chain routing is done.
Also rename resovle.go → resolve.go (fix typo).
Fixesgo-gost/gost#877
When the user specifies an IP address as the interface (e.g.
interface=10.1.1.1), GOST resolved it to its hosting interface and
called SO_BINDTODEVICE on it — breaking outbound connectivity for
IP aliases on loopback or dummy interfaces (go-gost/gost#785).
The initial fix (caa82f2) only skipped SO_BINDTODEVICE for loopback
interfaces, missing non-loopback dummy interfaces like ip-aliases.
This change adds an isIP return value to ParseInterfaceAddr so callers
can distinguish 'user specified an IP' (intent: source IP binding for
policy routing — skip SO_BINDTODEVICE) from 'user specified an
interface name' (intent: force traffic through that NIC — keep
SO_BINDTODEVICE). The dialOnce method now only calls bindDevice when
bindToDevice is true AND the input was an interface name (!isIP).
The loopback-specific guard in bindDevice is reverted — superseded by
the broader isIP-based fix that covers all interface types.
When no custom resolver or host mapper is configured, xnet.Resolve now
resolves hostnames via Go's native pure-Go resolver (PreferGo: true)
instead of returning the hostname unchanged.
Previously, the unresolved hostname would reach net.Dialer.DialContext,
which on CGO_ENABLED=1 builds used cgo-based DNS — blocking a dedicated
OS thread per concurrent lookup. At scale (1000+ listeners), this
exhausted Go's 10000-thread limit.
Fixesgo-gost/gost#550
Removes bindDevice from dialOnce's UDP empty-addr path. For relay/listener
UDP sockets, the ListenUDP laddr binding already pins the source IP correctly.
The additional SO_BINDTODEVICE forced all outbound datagrams through the named
interface, which conflicts with the kernel routing table for unconnected UDP
sockets and causes silent packet drops — breaking SOCKS5 UDP associate when
interface is configured.
Fixesgo-gost/gost#287
The switchNetns function was only defined for linux (dialer_netns.go,
build tag linux && !android) and android (dialer_android.go, stub).
This left darwin, freebsd, openbsd, windows, and other platforms with
an undefined symbol at dialer.go:55.
Add no-op stubs to all remaining platform files so the dialer package
compiles on every GOOS.
Add UnwrapConn() to the admission, proxyproto, conn limiter, metrics,
and observer/stats TCP connection wrappers, complementing the traffic
limiter's limitConn added in the previous commit.
This makes the unwrapConn() helper in handler/sshd able to peel through
any combination of these wrappers uniformly, keeping the pattern
complete and future-proof for handlers that assert on concrete
connection types.
When using IP aliases on loopback (e.g. ip addr add 10.1.1.1/32 dev lo)
with policy routing, findInterfaceByIP() resolves the alias IP to the
loopback interface. Binding the socket to lo via SO_BINDTODEVICE prevents
outbound traffic from reaching non-local destinations.
Skip SO_BINDTODEVICE when the resolved interface is loopback — source IP
binding via LocalAddr is sufficient for policy routing to steer traffic
through the correct physical interface.
Add stateless=true metadata option to UDP listener/handler for raw
datagram forwarding without per-client session tracking, similar to
NGINX Stream Module behavior.
- udp.NewListener: add Stateless field to ListenConfig; branch in
NewListener/Accept to skip connPool/listenLoop when stateless
- datagramConn: lightweight net.Conn+PacketConn wrapping a single
UDP datagram — no channels, mutexes, or pool logic
- forward handler: add handleRawDatagram for single request-response
cycle; extract dialTarget to share hop selection/dial/proxyproto
preamble with handleRawForwarding
Usage: gost -L "udp://:10000/127.0.0.1:2000?stateless=true"
matcher: fix IPv6 normalization via netip.ParseAddr, port-range overwrite
by switching to []*PortRange map, case-insensitive domain/host matching,
glob.MustCompile→Compile to avoid panic on invalid patterns.
plugin: guard nil *Options in NewGRPCConn and NewHTTPClient; add
HTTPClientTransport helper for idle-connection cleanup.
net/*: add doc comments for all exported symbols (no code changes).
Add 30 tests (matcher_test.go 22, plugin_test.go 8) covering all
matcher types, nil safety, case insensitivity, IPv6 normalization,
port ranges, and plugin option composition.
Merge beezly/fix/configurable-pipe-timeout with conflict resolution
in pipe.go (PipeOption/WithReadTimeout functional options pattern).
Fix pipe_test.go: update 4 pipeHalf() calls to pass readTimeout arg
matching the new signature.
Fix setMark early-return conditions that were inverted relative to
Linux: on FreeBSD (SO_USER_COOKIE) and OpenBSD (SO_RTABLE), a
non-zero mark was short-circuited instead of applied, disabling
socket marking entirely.
Also fix GetClientIP to trim leading whitespace from X-Forwarded-For
entries (per RFC 7239), and fix Body.Read to subtract len(b) instead
of n from recordSize when a single read exceeds the remaining quota.
Add unit tests for internal/net/ (addr, dialer, http, ip, net, pipe,
transport, resolve, proxyproto, udp).
Pipe: remove context.WithCancel that caused premature ctx.Done()
before the second pipeHalf could return its error. Replace with a
completed counter that drains both errors even on cancellation.
Transport: increase error channel buffer from 1 to 2 to prevent
goroutine leak when both CopyBuffer goroutines complete.
Add configurable TCP keepalive (keepalive, keepalive.idle,
keepalive.interval, keepalive.count) to all TCP-based transport types:
tls, mtls, mtcp, ws/wss, mws/mwss, http2, ssh, sshd listeners and
tls, mtls, mtcp, ws/wss, mws/mwss, ssh, sshd dialers.
For types that already use "keepalive" for an app-level protocol
(grpc listener/dialer, ws/mws dialers, ssh/sshd dialers), the TCP
keepalive parameters are exposed under the tcp.keepalive.* prefix to
avoid ambiguity.
Also extract shared helpers into internal/net/keepalive.go:
- WrapKeepaliveListener: applies KeepAliveConfig on every accepted TCPConn
- ApplyKeepalive: applies KeepAliveConfig to a single TCPConn

The 30s hardcoded readTimeout in Pipe() caused all CONNECT tunnel
connections to be hard-closed after 30s of inactivity, breaking
WebSocket and long-polling connections through the proxy.
Pipe() now accepts a WithReadTimeout(d) option. When d is 0 (the
default) no read deadline is set, relying on TCP keepalives or context
cancellation to detect dead connections instead.
The HTTP handler exposes this as the idleTimeout metadata key.
