Package Exports
- transparent-proxy
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (transparent-proxy) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Intro
transparent-proxy extends the native net.createServer and it acts as a http-proxy.
This module was built on top of TCP-level to avoid header-stripping problem of nodejs http(s)-modules.
Quick Start
Install
npm i transparent-proxy
Use
const ProxyServer = require('transparent-proxy');
//init ProxyServer
const server = new ProxyServer();
//starting server on port 8080
server.listen(8080, '0.0.0.0', function () {
console.log('TCP-Proxy-Server started!', server.address());
});
Options Object
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
options | Object |
The options object. |
[options.verbose] | Boolean |
Activate verbose mode |
[options.upstream] | Function |
The proxy to be used to upstreaming requests. |
[options.tcpOutgoingAddress] | Function |
The localAddress to use while sending requests |
getBridgedConnections()
const ProxyServer = require('transparent-proxy');
const server = new ProxyServer();
//starting server on port 8080
server.listen(8080, '0.0.0.0', function () {
console.log('Proxy-Server started!', server.address());
});
setInterval(function showOpenSockets() {
const bridgedConnections = server.getBridgedConnections();
console.log([new Date()], 'OPEN =>', Object.keys(bridgedConnections).length)
}, 2000);
upstream
& tcpOutgoingAddress
Options
The options are functions having follow parameters:
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
data | Buffer |
The received data. |
bridgedConnection | Socket |
The socket instance |
bridgedConnectionId | String |
The id of connection IP:PORT . |
- upstream-Function need to return a String with format -> IP:PORT of used http-proxy. If 'localhost' is returned, then the host-self will be used as proxy.
- tcpOutgoingAddress-Function need to return a String with format -> IP.
These functions will be executed before first tcp-socket-connection is established.
Upstream to other proxy
If you don't want to use the host of active instance self, then you need to upstream connections to another http-proxy.
This can be done with upstream
attribute.
const ProxyServer = require('transparent-proxy');
const server = new ProxyServer({
upstream: function () {
return 'x.x.x.x:3128'; // upstream to other proxy
}
});
//starting server on port 8080
server.listen(8080, '0.0.0.0', function () {
console.log('TCP-Proxy-Server started!', server.address());
});
Examples
This example upstreams only requests for ifconfig.me to another proxy, for all other requests will be used localhost.
const ProxyServer = require('transparent-proxy');
const server = new ProxyServer({
upstream: function (data, bridgedConnection, bridgedConnectionId) {
if (~(data.toString().indexOf('ifconfig.me'))) {
return 'x.x.x.x:3128'; // upstream to other proxy
} else {
return 'localhost'; //upstream to localhost
}
},
});
//starting server on port 8080
server.listen(8080, '0.0.0.0', function () {
console.log('TCP-Proxy-Server started!', server.address());
});
Testing with curl
:
curl -x 127.0.0.1:8080 https://ifconfig.me
x.x.x.x
curl -x 127.0.0.1:8080 https://ifconfig.co
