Description PhrozenByte 2025-03-13 19:58:41 UTC 
Project homepage: https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw

I'd like to request a package of udp2raw, a tunnel that turns UDP traffic into encrypted UDP/FakeTCP/ICMP traffic by using raw sockets.

It is commonly used with VPN software to bypass UDP firewalls or unstable UDP environments. For example, it's an alternative to OpenVPN's TCP mode, and allows the use of WireGuard in such environments. In FakeTCP mode it neatly avoids the major disadvantages of common UDP-over-TCP tunnelling by mimicking TCP with raw sockets, but effectively still using UDP behind the scenes. It's somewhat similar to udptunnel, but does a few things different and e.g. can't be detected by Wireshark. udp2raw thus allows the undisclosed use of WireGuard VPNs by e.g. journalists and activists in sensitive environments.

The software is written in C/C++ and released under the terms of the MIT License.

I'm not affiliated with the udp2raw project and no C/C++ developer (I can't even read the code properly), thus it would be unwise for me to assume I could become the package maintainer of udp2raw. Thus I'd like to ask whether an established Fedora package maintainer might be willing to take maintainership of a possible future udp2raw package. It's some very neat piece of software, thus a package would be very much appreciated.

Reproducible: Always

The ticket summary is not in the correct format.
Expected:

    Review Request: <main package name here> - <short summary here>

Found:

    Package Request: udp2raw - A tunnel that turns UDP traffic into encrypted UDP/FakeTCP/ICMP traffic by using raw sockets

As a consequence, the package name cannot be parsed and submitted to
be automatically build. Please modify the ticket summary and trigger a
build by typing [fedora-review-service-build].
