Usage & Detailed Documentation

Download Tool

📖 For detailed documentation, see USAGE.md: includes complete command-line parameters, configuration file usage (-c config.json), and setup guides for various proxy scenarios (global SOCKS5 proxy, TCP port forwarding, UDP forwarding, forward proxy, end-to-end AES/ChaCha20 encryption, etc.).

Quick Start

1. Server

  • Prepare a server with a public IP (e.g. www.yourserver.com)
  • Download the release package from releases (e.g. pingtunnel_linux64.zip), unzip and execute with root privileges:
root@kitploit:~
sudo ./pingtunnel -type server -key 123456
  • (Optional) Disable system default ICMP echo response:
root@kitploit:~
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

2. Client

Run with administrator privileges:

  • SOCKS5 Proxy Mode:
root@kitploit:~
pingtunnel -type client -l :4455 -s www.yourserver.com -sock5 1 -key 123456
  • Forward TCP (e.g. SSH/Web):
root@kitploit:~
pingtunnel -type client -l :4455 -s www.yourserver.com -t 192.168.1.100:22 -tcp 1 -key 123456
  • Forward UDP (e.g. DNS):
root@kitploit:~
pingtunnel -type client -l :4455 -s www.yourserver.com -t 8.8.8.8:53 -key 123456

3. Config File Mode (-c)

Both client and server support JSON configuration files:

root@kitploit:~
# Start server with config
sudo ./pingtunnel -c server.json

# Start client with config
./pingtunnel -c client.json

See USAGE.md for JSON configuration templates and rules.

Use Android Client

A dedicated Android client for pingtunnel is available, developed by the community:

  • pingtunnel-client

Big thanks to itismoej for developing this Android client!

Use Docker

You can also start pingtunnel directly with Docker:

  • Server:
root@kitploit:~
docker run --name pingtunnel-server -d --privileged --network host --restart=always esrrhs/pingtunnel ./pingtunnel -type server -key 123456
  • Client:
root@kitploit:~
docker run --name pingtunnel-client -d --restart=always -p 1080:1080 esrrhs/pingtunnel ./pingtunnel -type client -l :1080 -s www.yourserver.com -sock5 1 -key 123456
