# Aura VPN client configuration (project ยง9). # Copy to client.toml and adjust. Paths may begin with `~` (expands to your home directory). [client] # Human-readable client name / id. name = "laptop" # Server UDP socket address. server_addr = "203.0.113.10:443" # Outer-TLS SNI (camouflage hostname) presented to the server. Also the name verified # inside the Aura handshake against the server certificate's SAN. sni = "cdn.example.com" # Optional: drop privileges to this non-root user AFTER the TUN device has been brought up. # Recommended when `aura client` is launched via sudo so the long-running router loop runs # as an ordinary user. Linux uses setresuid/setresgid; macOS uses setgid/setuid; Windows is a # no-op (use a service account instead). When omitted (or already running as non-root) no # privilege change happens. # run_as = "nobody" [pki] # Trust anchor (the Aura CA) and this client's leaf cert/key, all PEM. # Issue with: aura pki issue-client --id laptop --out ~/.aura --ca ~/.aura ca_cert = "~/.aura/ca.crt" cert = "~/.aura/client.crt" key = "~/.aura/client.key" [tunnel] # Requested TUN interface name (advisory on macOS, where the kernel assigns utunN). tun_name = "aura0" # Local address assigned to the TUN device, and its prefix length. local_ip = "10.7.0.2" prefix = 24 # TUN MTU. mtu = 1420 # Tunnel resolver DNS (informational; the system resolver is used in v1). dns = "10.7.0.1" # Split-tunnel routing: the default action plus per-destination overrides. [tunnel.split] # Default for destinations matching no rule below: "VPN" or "DIRECT". default = "VPN" # Send these directly (bypass the tunnel): RFC1918 ranges stay on the LAN... [[tunnel.split.direct]] cidr = "192.168.0.0/16" [[tunnel.split.direct]] cidr = "10.0.0.0/8" # ...and a corporate domain egresses directly (resolved to host routes at startup). [[tunnel.split.direct]] domain = "intranet.example.com" # Force a more-specific range back through the VPN (longest-prefix wins over 10.0.0.0/8). [[tunnel.split.vpn]] cidr = "10.7.0.0/24" # v2: OS-level split-tunnel routing. With `enabled = true` (the default) the client programs the # system routing table at startup so DIRECT destinations bypass the TUN entirely โ€” they continue # to use the host's original default gateway, while only VPN-classified traffic reaches the # tunnel. This eliminates the v1 user-space `send_direct` stub, where DIRECT packets were merely # logged and dropped. The guard is RAII: the routes are rolled back when `aura client` exits. # # Linux: uses `ip route add ... via dev ` for bypasses and `ip route add ... dev ` # for the VPN default; the VPN default carries metric 50 so it wins over DHCP-installed defaults. # macOS: uses `route add -net ` for bypasses and `route add -net -interface ` # for VPN routes. # Windows: not implemented in v1 (the section is parsed but the install is a logged no-op). [tunnel.os_routes] # Master switch. `false` falls back to the v1 user-space router (the `send_direct` path drops # DIRECT packets; kept intentionally as a fallback). Default: true. enabled = true # When `true`, every routing command is only logged (`would run: ...`) and not executed โ€” # useful for testing the plan without root. Default: false. dry_run = false # Optional explicit IPv4 default gateway. When omitted, auto-detected (Linux: # `ip route show default`; macOS: `route -n get default`). # gateway = "192.168.1.1" # Optional explicit egress interface name (e.g. "eth0" on Linux, "en0" on macOS). When omitted, # auto-detected alongside the gateway. # egress_iface = "en0" [mimicry] # Enable traffic padding to blend packet sizes into HTTPS buckets. padding = false [transport] # Fallback order tried left-to-right ("handover"): the first transport that connects wins. Aura's # own UDP transport is primary; TCP/443 and QUIC (HTTP/3 mimicry) are fallbacks for networks that # throttle or block plain UDP. Omitting this whole section uses ["udp","tcp","quic"] on 443/443/444. order = ["udp", "tcp", "quic"] # Per-transport server ports. The server IP comes from [client] server_addr above (its port there is # ignored). The UDP transport and QUIC both ride UDP, so udp_port and quic_port MUST differ; TCP may # reuse the UDP port number. udp_port = 443 tcp_port = 443 quic_port = 444 # UDP: pad datagrams up to HTTPS size buckets to blur the on-wire size distribution. obfuscate = true # TCP: prepend a minimal HTTP/1.1 preamble (Host = [client] sni) so the open resembles plain HTTP. masquerade = true [transport.masks] # Daily protocol-mask rotation. When `true`, every day at 05:00 MSK (= 02:00 UTC) the client # derives a new (SNI, User-Agent, Server-header, padding-profile) tuple from # HKDF-SHA256(CA-fingerprint, MSK-date) and uses it for any subsequent connect โ€” the server derives # the same tuple independently from the same CA fingerprint, so no wire coordination is needed. # Existing connections keep the mask they connected with. Default: true. # When `false`, the static values above ([client] sni, [transport] obfuscate, ...) are used as-is. enabled = true
