The previous wording ("silently routed to the fronting domain")
is inaccurate. In mtglib/proxy.go the blocklist path calls
conn.Close() immediately with no further handshake or fronting;
domain fronting only happens on FakeTLS failures for non-blocked
IPs. Reword to "TCP connection is closed with no response" so
users searching the docs get the same symptom they actually see.
The default [defense.blocklist] uses firehol_level1.netset, which
includes bogon networks and therefore all RFC1918 ranges. Clients
connecting from a LAN address (e.g. a phone on the home Wi-Fi when
mtg runs at home) are silently rejected with "ip was blacklisted"
and routed to the fronting domain. This is a recurring source of
confusion (see issue #466 for the latest example).
Add a warning next to the urls list in example.config.toml and a
Troubleshooting section in README.md covering the symptom, the
cause, and three resolution paths (disable blocklist, swap for a
narrower list, or use hairpin NAT).
Docs only, no code changes.
This PR adds a new setting to the config: `network.timeout`. This setting
defines a time period during which all handshake procedures and
ceremonies must be completed. If not - connection is aborted. This
should help in situations when connection is established but client
cannot continue for some reason (for example, RST sent by some middle box).
TCP keepalive was configured (SetKeepAlivePeriod) but never actually
enabled (SO_KEEPALIVE) on accepted client connections. Go 1.26's
SetKeepAlivePeriod only sets TCP_KEEPIDLE — it does not call
setsockopt(SO_KEEPALIVE, 1). Without SO_KEEPALIVE the kernel never
sends probe packets, so dead connections from sleeping mobile clients
linger until the idle timeout fires.
Replace SetKeepAlive + SetKeepAlivePeriod with net.KeepAliveConfig
(available since Go 1.24) for explicit per-socket control:
Idle: 30s (time before first probe)
Interval: 10s (between probes)
Count: 3 (failed probes to declare dead)
This detects dead connections in ~60s instead of relying on system
defaults (tcp_keepalive_intvl=75s, probes=9 → up to 11 minutes).
Increase the default idle timeout from 1 minute to 5 minutes.
MTProto clients send ping_delay_disconnect every ~60s, which resets
the idle timer. The previous 1-minute default created a race: if a
ping arrived even 1–2 seconds late the relay was killed. A 5-minute
window also survives typical mobile sleep periods (phone idle 2–5 min)
where the NAT mapping is still alive and the connection can resume
without reconnection.
Ref: #132
On some servers ifconfig.co is unreachable (e.g. Hetzner, AdGuard DNS
blocklists), causing 'mtg doctor' SNI-DNS check and 'mtg access' link
generation to fail. New config options allow specifying public IPs
manually, with automatic detection as fallback.
