Olm

Olm is a fully user space WireGuard tunnel olm and TCP/UDP proxy, designed to securely expose private resources controlled by Pangolin. By using Olm, you don't need to manage complex WireGuard tunnels and NATing.

Installation and Documentation

Olm is used with Pangolin and Gerbil as part of the larger system. See documentation below:

Key Functions

Registers with Pangolin

Using the Olm ID and a secret, the olm will make HTTP requests to Pangolin to receive a session token. Using that token, it will connect to a websocket and maintain that connection. Control messages will be sent over the websocket.

Receives WireGuard Control Messages

When Olm receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded (endpoint, public key) to bring up a WireGuard tunnel using netstack fully in user space. It will ping over the tunnel to ensure the peer on the Gerbil side is brought up.

Receives Proxy Control Messages

When Olm receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded to create a local low level TCP and UDP proxies attached to the virtual tunnel in order to relay traffic to programmed targets.

CLI Args

  • endpoint: The endpoint where both Gerbil and Pangolin reside in order to connect to the websocket.
  • id: Olm ID generated by Pangolin to identify the olm.
  • secret: A unique secret (not shared and kept private) used to authenticate the olm ID with the websocket in order to receive commands.
  • dns: DNS server to use to resolve the endpoint
  • log-level (optional): The log level to use. Default: INFO

Example:

./olm \
--id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
--secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
--endpoint https://example.com

You can also run it with Docker compose. For example, a service in your docker-compose.yml might look like this using environment vars (recommended):

services:
  olm:
    image: fosrl/olm
    container_name: olm
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
      - OLM_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy 
      - OLM_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2 

You can also pass the CLI args to the container:

services:
  olm:
    image: fosrl/olm
    container_name: olm
    restart: unless-stopped
    command:
        - --id 31frd0uzbjvp721
        - --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6
        - --endpoint https://example.com

Finally a basic systemd service:

[Unit]
Description=Olm VPN Olm
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/olm --id 31frd0uzbjvp721 --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 --endpoint https://example.com
Restart=always
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Make sure to mv ./olm /usr/local/bin/olm!
