tcp-proxy
A simple TCP proxy that may be used to access a service on another network. Supports client certificates.
Based on node-tcp-proxy, converted to TypeScript and with added support for client certificates.
To connect a local port to a remote (or local) service:
tcp-proxy --proxyPort port [--hostname <name or IP>] --serviceHost host1,host2 --servicePort port1,port2 [--q] [--tls [both]] [--pfx file] [--passphrase secret] [--pfx-client file] [--passphrase-client secret]
Optionally, hostname
specifies the IP address to listen at. Node.js listens on unspecified IPv6 address ::
by default. If serviceHost
and servicePort
specify a comma separated list, the proxy will perform load balancing on a round-robin basis.
TLS can be enabled at the proxy port using the tls
option. If followed by both
, TLS is also used with the service. Use pfx
option to specify server certificate, and passphrase
to provide the password required to access it. Use pfx-client
option to specify a client certificate for the service, and passphrase-client
to provide the password required to access it.
npm
Install node-tcp-proxy from npm, thus
sudo npm install -g @diginet/tcp-proxy
Programming Interface
To create a proxy in your own code
import { TcpProxy, TcpProxyOptions } from "@diginet/tcp-proxy"
const newProxy = new TcProxy(8080, "host", 10080)
To end the proxy
newProxy.end()
hostname
can be provided through an optional fourth parameter e.g. {hostname: 0.0.0.0}
to createProxy
. Console output may be silenced by adding quiet: true
e.g. {hostname: 0.0.0.0, quiet: true}
.
If you specify more than one service host and port pair, the proxy will perform round-robin load balancing
const hosts = ["host1", "host2"]
const ports = [10080, 10080]
const newProxy = new TcpProxy(8080, hosts, ports)
// or const newProxy = new TcpProxy(8080, "host1,host2", "10080,10080")
