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

Comment 3 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 12:28:03 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
