Is RemoteHost and ServerName a duplicate option?

[fingolfin0]

Hello and thanks for amazing tool!

I use config based on ckclient.json example from repo. But the cloak only worked after specifying the command line option -s. I also found that the -s option can be replaced with a RemoteHost one in the config. Now cloak works without -s option.

There is my /etc/cloak/ckclient.json:

{
"Transport": "direct",
"ProxyMethod": "wireguard",
"EncryptionMethod": "aes-gcm",
"UID": "MY-UID",
"PublicKey": "MY-PUBLIC-KEY",
"RemoteHost": "my.ckserver.example.com",
"ServerName": "my.ckserver.example.com",
"NumConn": 4,
"BrowserSig": "chrome",
"StreamTimeout": 300
}

Command line: ck-client -u -c /etc/cloak/ckclient.json

Do you mean you dont need to route your server to your local machine aswell?

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. My bug report was about a duplicate option being required in the config, which is not mentioned in the documentation.

ServerName is documented as

ServerName is the domain you want to make your ISP or firewall think you are visiting. Ideally it should match RedirAddr in the server's configuration, a major site the censor allows, but it doesn't have to. Use random to randomize the server name for every connection made.

I guess "server name" is not the most obvious name for this. It's not a duplicate option as ServerName can be anything you want whereas RemoteHost has to be a routable proxy host
