NAME
     meek-client - The meek client transport plugin

SYNOPSIS
     meek-client [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     meek-client  is  a  transport plugin for Tor that encodes a stream as a se-
     quence of HTTP requests and responses. It has a url option to control  what
     destination  server requests are directed to, and a front option for domain
     name camouflage: The domain name in the URL is replaced by the front domain
     before the request is made, but the Host header  inside  the  HTTP  request
     still  points to the original domain. The idea is to front through a domain
     that is not blocked to a domain that is blocked.

CONFIGURATION
     Configuration for meek-client usually happens in a torrc file.

     Per-bridge options are configured with SOCKS args	(key=value  pairs  in  a
     Bridge line). The possible SOCKS args are:

     url=URL (required)
	 The URL of a meek-server instance. The domain name component will typi-
	 cally be hidden by the value in the front arg.

     front=DOMAIN
	 Front	domain	name. If provided, this domain name will replace the do-
	 main name of url in the DNS request and TLS SNI field. The  URL's  true
	 domain name will still appear in the Host header of HTTP requests.

     utls=CLIENTHELLOID
	 Use the uTLS library with the named TLS fingerprint for TLS camouflage.
	 This  arg  is	incompatible  with the --helper command line option. The
	 possible values of CLIENTHELLOID are:

	 *   HelloRandomizedALPN

	 *   HelloRandomizedNoALPN

	 *   HelloFirefox_55

	 *   HelloFirefox_56

	 *   HelloFirefox_63

	 *   HelloFirefox_65

	 *   HelloFirefox_Auto = HelloFirefox_65

	 *   HelloChrome_58

	 *   HelloChrome_62

	 *   HelloChrome_70

	 *   HelloChrome_72

	 *   HelloChrome_83

	 *   HelloChrome_Auto = HelloChrome_83

	 *   HelloIOS_11_1

	 *   HelloIOS_12_1

	 *   HelloIOS_Auto = HelloIOS_12_1

	 As a special case, the values "none" and "HelloGolang"  are  recognized
	 as aliases for omitting the utls SOCKS arg; i.e., use native Go TLS.

     For  backward  compatibility, each SOCKS arg also has an equivalent command
     line option. For example, this configuration using SOCKS args:

	 Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1 url=https://forbidden.example/ front=allowed.example
	 ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./meek-client

     is the same as this one using command line options:

	 Bridge meek 0.0.2.0:1
	 ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./meek-client --url=https://forbidden.example/ --front=allowed.example

     SOCKS args are preferred over command line options because they  allow  you
     to have multiple Bridge lines with different settings. If a SOCKS arg and a
     command  line  option  are  both  given for the same setting, the SOCKS arg
     takes precedence.

     The global --helper option prevents meek-client from doing any network  op-
     erations itself. Rather, it will send all requests through a browser exten-
     sion, which must be set up separately.

     A	global	proxy (applies to all Bridge lines) can be configured using spe-
     cial torrc options:

	 Socks4Proxy localhost:1080
	 Socks5Proxy localhost:1080
	 Socks5ProxyUsername username
	 Socks5ProxyPassword password
	 HTTPSProxy localhost:8080
	 HTTPSProxyAuthenticator username:password

     or, equivalently, using the --proxy command line option. The  command  line
     option takes precedence.

     When  the	--helper  option  is  used,  you  can  use proxies of type http,
     socks4a, or socks5, but you cannot use a  username  or  password  with  the
     proxy.  Without  --helper,  you  can  use	proxies  of type http, https, or
     socks5, and you can optionally use a username and password.

OPTIONS
     --front=DOMAIN
	 Front domain name. Prefer using the front SOCKS arg on  a  bridge  line
	 over using this command line option.

     --helper=ADDRESS
	 Address    of	  HTTP	  helper   browser   extension.   For	example,
	 --helper=127.0.0.1:7000.

     --proxy=URL
	 URL of upstream  proxy.  For  example,  --proxy=http://localhost:8080/,
	 --proxy=socks4a://localhost:1080,  or	--proxy=socks5://localhost:1080.
	 Can  also  be	configured  using  the	 HTTPSProxy,   Socks4Proxy,   or
	 Socks5Proxy options in a torrc file.

     --log=FILENAME
	 Name of a file to write log messages to (default stderr).

     --url=URL
	 URL to correspond with. Prefer using the url SOCKS arg on a bridge line
	 over using this command line option.

     --utls=CLIENTHELLOID
	 Use uTLS with the given TLS fingerprint for TLS camouflage. This option
	 is incompatible with --helper. Prefer using the utls SOCKS arg over us-
	 ing this command line option.

     -h, --help
	 Display a help message and exit.
