[Mobile/Russia] dns_probe_finished_nxdomain when visiting lm.facebook.com #1518

nickcarterney · 2024-05-02T13:42:37Z

Shadowsocks version: 1.17.2 - 1.18.0 - 1.18.1 - 1.18.3
Client device: IPhone (iOS)
Server: Ubuntu 23 (Vultr and OVH)
Config:

{
          "server":"207.148.90.219",
          "mode":"tcp_and_udp",
          "server_port": 55837,
          "local_port": 1080,
          "password":"d0c222d5bd70ab16f4df9dd3caa70a54",
          "timeout": 60,
          "method":"chacha20-ietf-poly1305",
          "fast_open":true,
          "nameserver": "8.8.8.8"
 }

When I clicked on a link on Facebook, It returned an error screen. When I copied the link to the browser, It said dns_probe_finished_nxdomain. This issue only occurs on 4G network (OctopusNet Ltd), but not on Wifi (another ISP: Zelenaya Vladivostok Network).

It has no errors on the log. I tried to ping or traceroute to l.facebook.com or lm.facebook.com on my VPS, It still responded

I think the DNS query should be handled by your iOS App, which serve as a local client of shadowsocks. So I think you should first open this issue first to the iOS App repository.

I think the DNS query should be handled by your iOS App, which serve as a local client of shadowsocks. So I think you should first open this issue first to the iOS App repository.

But this issue only happened on the 4G network, the other networks were not. And only happened to lm.facebook.com, the other facebook's domains still worked well. And only happened in Russia.

In Vietnam, Finland, and Thailand still work

zonyitoo · 2024-05-05T13:47:27Z

If you suspect there are something happening in the server side, you could run ssserver with -vvv and see what was happening when you see errors on your mobile phone.

frozzway · 2024-05-06T05:02:49Z

If you suspect there are something happening in the server side, you could run ssserver with -vvv and see what was happening when you see errors on your mobile phone.

I am also recently experiencing issues with access to most of the sites while connecting to SS server using mobile network in Russia.
How do I force SS docker container to run with -vvv options?

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T05:04:01Z

You can run whatever command you want with docker run, right?

frozzway · 2024-05-06T05:28:19Z

You can run whatever command you want with docker run, right?

Ok, I've figured it out.

I have copied logs with -vvv mode and I would appreciate if you help with determining the issue.

And some more:

Chrome says "This site can't be reached, unexpectedly closed the connection"

For now had to deploy wireguard in parallel. Works fine by the way

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T15:11:23Z

From the first logs, I can see a tunnel to ya.ru was already established. So your browser still said that The site (ya.ru) cannot be reached?

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T15:26:10Z

In the second one, I can see access to 149.154.167.41:5222, graph.facebook.com:443, 1.1.1.1:853, chrome.cloudflare-dns.com:443. They were all established and finished successfully.

For example, lines like this:

DEBUG   tokio-runtime-worker ThreadId(02) shadowsocks_service::server::tcprelay: crates/shadowsocks-service/src/server/tcprelay.rs:255: established tcp tunnel 85.140.23.181:14785 <-> chrome.cloudflare-dns.com:443 with ConnectOpts { fwmark: None, bind_local_addr: None, bind_interface: None, tcp: TcpSocketOpts { send_buffer_size: None, recv_buffer_size: None, nodelay: false, fastopen: true, keepalive: Some(15s), mptcp: false }, udp: UdpSocketOpts { mtu: None } }

indicated that the tunnel 85.140.23.181:14785 <-> chrome.cloudflare-dns.com:443 have already been established. TCP socket connect() to the remote target successfully.

and lines like:

TRACE   tokio-runtime-worker ThreadId(02) shadowsocks_service::server::tcprelay: crates/shadowsocks-service/src/server/tcprelay.rs:264: tcp tunnel 85.140.23.181:14785 <-> chrome.cloudflare-dns.com:443 closed, L2R 1563 bytes, R2L 4424 bytes

told us that the tunnel was finished. It has copied 1563 bytes from local to remote, and 4424 bytes in the other direction. This tells us the tunnel working well and actually transferred data from local to remote.

I didn't see anything abnormal in these logs.

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T15:27:05Z

BTW, I didn't see any UDP logs. Did you enabled UDP mode? Or you don't need that in your environment?

frozzway · 2024-05-06T16:09:14Z

So your browser still said that The site (ya.ru) cannot be reached?

Yep(

I didn't see anything abnormal in these logs.

Yes. That is the issue. Some connections establishes fine, especially those that goes though some applications like Telegram or Instagram. But some breaks immediately (like 90% that comes through Chrome or YouTube). And it is always random. I might 'get through' on to some site only because few minutes before I visited it without SS enabled (or not because of this, I really do not know). But then I open one-two-three other random sites and poof -> no more establishing connections to any of them.

BTW, I didn't see any UDP logs. Or you don't need that in your environment?

I have used tcp_only configuration just fine for several months. So I guess I don't need it.

Yet about "ya.ru" connection. How can it be that logs show no abnormalities but I still couldn't reach the site?

Btw, I did not change any of server or client configurations myself from the time this issue appeared and weeks before.

And the issue persists only on mobile 4G network. WiFi home/work networks just fine.

frozzway · 2024-05-06T16:15:01Z

I have rented another VM on another hosting and deployed my configuration to it.
It all the same.

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T16:34:32Z

And the issue persists only on mobile 4G network. WiFi home/work networks just fine.

That's very interesting. You can see access logs on server when you are using 4G network, right? (for example, "accepted connection xxxx").

Yet about "ya.ru" connection. How can it be that logs show no abnormalities but I still couldn't reach the site?

I can only guess:

The ya.ru's TCP connection works fine, but TLS handshake failed between your browser and remote server (data transfer exists, but closes immediately after handshake).
The data sent from ssserver was hijacked by a middleman that makes your browser showed errors. (probably no)
The connection in ssserver's log was not the actual connection that your browser was using.

zonyitoo · 2024-05-06T16:50:15Z

I saw an error in your log:

TRACE   tokio-runtime-worker ThreadId(02) shadowsocks::net::tcp: crates/shadowsocks/src/net/tcp.rs:76: connected ya.ru:443 77.88.55.242:443

As you can see, a -> b which was local -> remote have already finished (probably EOF), but b -> a which was remote -> local fails because of Broken pipe. The only reason of that was the local client closed the connection before received the whole response data.

This is the connection you saw on Chrome that showed errors. Chrome or your sslocal client closed the connection actively before finishing receiving the whole respond data.

But we can still see some connections to ya.ru finished successfully.

Which client application were you using? Could you see its logs about this connection?

I'm using ShadowSocks by LV Max on Android OS (Download from Google Play Store). I've never gotten this issue before on 4G Networks

zonyitoo · 2024-05-07T01:32:01Z

@madeye Do you have any idea about this issue?

frozzway · 2024-05-07T01:38:45Z

I tried Shadowsocks by Max Lv and v2rayNG. Same symptoms.

Some logs from v2rayNG https://gist.github.com/frozzway/28ef2645eefac19964fc14a618246e50
Do not see abnormalities from it, but still couldn't connect.

Found similar issue report

madeye · 2024-05-09T02:19:04Z

It looks your ISP blocks all the UDP traffic, causing DNS issues. Enabling a SIP003 plugin can solve the problem, as it makes SS app works in TCP-only mode.

Any thoughts on this one #1518 (comment)?
We sort of discussed it on this topic cause it is Russia mobile network related

Compiled and enabled https://github.com/shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin for sslocal and ssserver - now it works!

zonyitoo · 2024-09-27T06:09:20Z

So it is suspected that there was a firewall that trying to detact such kinds of data packets in cellular network of RU.
