Route requests to local or upstream servers.
A reverse proxy written in rust using tokio and hyper.
reverse_proxy forwards incoming encrypted http1 and http2 requests to upstream servers.
Execute the following to install reverse_proxy.
git clone https://github.com/wolfpup_software/reverse_proxy
cargo install --path reverse_proxy/reverse_proxyA JSON configuration file is required to run reverse_proxy.
All filepaths can be absolute or relative to the config filepath.
{
"host_and_port": "<string>",
"key_filepath": "<string>",
"cert_filepath": "<string>",
"addresses": [
["<origin_address>", "<target_address>"]
],
"dangerous_self_signed_addresses": [
["<origin_address>", "<target_address>"]
]
}A valid configuration example can be found at ./reverse_proxy.example.json
| name | definition |
|---|---|
host_and_port |
the address of the server (ie: 0.0.0.0:3000) |
key_filepath |
the filepath of a key from a TLS certificate |
cert_filepath |
the filepath of a cert from a TLS certificate |
addresses |
A key value map of URIs used to route incoming requests to upstream servers. Only the host and port of a URI will be used for routing requests. |
dangerous_self_signed_addresses (optional) |
allows reverse_proxy to make requests to servers with self-signed TLS certificates |
ONLY USE the dangerous_self_signed_addresses property WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
Ideally never.
This optional property is intended to forward requests to servers using self-signed TLS certificates on local networks.
