GoodbyeDPI — Passive Deep Packet Inspection blocker and Active DPI circumvention utility

This software designed to bypass Deep Packet Inspection systems found in many Internet Service Providers which block access to certain websites.

It handles DPI connected using optical splitter or port mirroring (Passive DPI) which do not block any data but just replying faster than requested destination, and Active DPI connected in sequence.

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 with administrator privileges required.

How to use

Download latest version from Releases page and run.

1: block passive DPI, 2: fragment outbound, 4: replace Host with hoSt, 8: remove space between host header and value

Try to run goodbyedpi.exe 13 first. This enables 1, 4 and 8 options (1+4+8 = 13).

Run goodbyedpi.exe 15 if this doesn't work. Fragmentation will cause slowdowns but it works in most cases.

How does it work

Passive DPI

Most Passive DPI send HTTP 301 Redirect if you try to access blocked website over HTTP and TCP Reset in case of HTTPS, faster than destination website. Packets sent by DPI have always have IP Identification field equal to 0x0000 or 0x0001, as seen with Russian providers. These packets are blocked by GoodbyeDPI.

Active DPI

Active DPI is more tricky to fool. Currently the software uses 3 methods to circumvent Active DPI:

  • TCP-level fragmentation for first data packet
  • Replacing Host header with hoSt
  • Removing space between header name and value in Host header

These methods do not break any website as are fully compatible with TCP and HTTP standards, yet it's sufficient to prevent DPI data classification and to circumvent censorship.

The program loads WinDivert driver which uses Windows Filtering Platform to set filters and redirect packets to the userspace. It's running as long as console window is visible and terminates when you close the window.

How to build from source

This project can be build using GNU Make and mingw. The only dependency is WinDivert.

To build x86 exe run:

make CPREFIX=i686-w64-mingw32 WINDIVERTHEADERS=/path/to/windivert/include WINDIVERTLIBS=/path/to/windivert/x86

And for x86_64:

make CPREFIX=x86_64-w64-mingw32 WINDIVERTHEADERS=/path/to/windivert/include WINDIVERTLIBS=/path/to/windivert/amd64

Kudos

Thanks @basil00 for WinDivert. That's the main part of this program.

Thanks for every BlockCheck contributor. It would be impossible to understand DPI behaviour without this utility.
