-# SmartProxy Port Handling
-
-This document covers all the port handling capabilities in SmartProxy, including port range specification, dynamic port mapping, and runtime port management.
-
-## Port Range Syntax
-
-SmartProxy offers flexible port range specification through the `TPortRange` type, which can be defined in three different ways:
-
-### 1. Single Port
-
-```typescript
-// Match a single port
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: 443
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Array of Specific Ports
-
-```typescript
-// Match multiple specific ports
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [80, 443, 8080]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Port Range
-
-```typescript
-// Match a range of ports
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Mixed Port Specifications
-
-You can combine different port specification methods in a single rule:
-
-```typescript
-// Match both specific ports and port ranges
-{
-  match: {
-    ports: [80, 443, { from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Port Forwarding Options
-
-SmartProxy offers several ways to handle port forwarding from source to target:
-
-### 1. Static Port Forwarding
-
-Forward to a fixed target port:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 8080
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Preserve Source Port
-
-Forward to the same port on the target:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Dynamic Port Mapping
-
-Use a function to determine the target port based on connection context:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        // Calculate port based on request details
-        return 8000 + (context.port % 100);
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Port Selection Context
-
-When using dynamic port mapping functions, you have access to a rich context object that provides details about the connection:
-
-```typescript
-interface IRouteContext {
-  // Connection information
-  port: number;          // The matched incoming port
-  domain?: string;       // The domain from SNI or Host header
-  clientIp: string;      // The client's IP address
-  serverIp: string;      // The server's IP address
-  path?: string;         // URL path (for HTTP connections)
-  query?: string;        // Query string (for HTTP connections)
-  headers?: Record<string, string>; // HTTP headers (for HTTP connections)
-
-  // TLS information
-  isTls: boolean;        // Whether the connection is TLS
-  tlsVersion?: string;   // TLS version if applicable
-
-  // Route information
-  routeName?: string;    // The name of the matched route
-  routeId?: string;      // The ID of the matched route
-
-  // Additional properties
-  timestamp: number;     // The request timestamp
-  connectionId: string;  // Unique connection identifier
-}
-```
-
-## Common Port Mapping Patterns
-
-### 1. Port Offset Mapping
-
-Forward traffic to target ports with a fixed offset:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => context.port + 1000
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Domain-Based Port Mapping
-
-Forward to different backend ports based on the domain:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        switch (context.domain) {
-          case 'api.example.com': return 8001;
-          case 'admin.example.com': return 8002;
-          case 'staging.example.com': return 8003;
-          default: return 8000;
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Load Balancing with Hash-Based Distribution
-
-Distribute connections across a port range using a deterministic hash function:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: (context) => {
-        // Simple hash function to ensure consistent mapping
-        const hostname = context.domain || '';
-        const hash = hostname.split('').reduce((a, b) => a + b.charCodeAt(0), 0);
-        return 8000 + (hash % 10); // Map to ports 8000-8009
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## IPv6-Mapped IPv4 Compatibility
-
-SmartProxy automatically handles IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses for optimal compatibility. When a connection from an IPv4 address (e.g., `192.168.1.1`) arrives as an IPv6-mapped address (`::ffff:192.168.1.1`), the system normalizes these addresses for consistent matching.
-
-This is particularly important when:
-
-1. Matching client IP restrictions in route configurations
-2. Preserving source IP for outgoing connections
-3. Tracking connections and rate limits
-
-No special configuration is needed - the system handles this normalization automatically.
-
-## Dynamic Port Management
-
-SmartProxy allows for runtime port configuration changes without requiring a restart.
-
-### Adding and Removing Ports
-
-```typescript
-// Get the SmartProxy instance
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({ /* config */ });
-
-// Add a new listening port
-await proxy.addListeningPort(8081);
-
-// Remove a listening port
-await proxy.removeListeningPort(8082);
-```
-
-### Runtime Route Updates
-
-```typescript
-// Get current routes
-const currentRoutes = proxy.getRoutes();
-
-// Add new route for the new port
-const newRoute = {
-  name: 'New Dynamic Route',
-  match: {
-    ports: 8081,
-    domains: ['dynamic.example.com']
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 9000
-    }
-  }
-};
-
-// Update the route configuration
-await proxy.updateRoutes([...currentRoutes, newRoute]);
-
-// Remove routes for a specific port
-const routesWithout8082 = currentRoutes.filter(route => {
-  const ports = proxy.routeManager.expandPortRange(route.match.ports);
-  return !ports.includes(8082);
-});
-await proxy.updateRoutes(routesWithout8082);
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Port Range Expansion
-
-When using large port ranges, SmartProxy uses internal caching to optimize performance. For example, a range like `{ from: 1000, to: 2000 }` is expanded only once and then cached for future use.
-
-### Port Range Validation
-
-The system automatically validates port ranges to ensure:
-
-1. Port numbers are within the valid range (1-65535)
-2. The "from" value is not greater than the "to" value in range specifications
-3. Port ranges do not contain duplicate entries
-
-Invalid port ranges will be logged as warnings and skipped during configuration.
-
-## Configuration Recipes
-
-### Global Port Range
-
-Listen on a large range of ports and forward to the same ports on a backend:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'Global port range forwarding',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }]
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'backend.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Domain-Specific Port Ranges
-
-Different port ranges for different domain groups:
-
-```typescript
-[
-  {
-    name: 'API port range',
-    match: {
-      ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'api.backend.example.com',
-        port: 'preserve'
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Admin port range',
-    match: {
-      ports: [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'admin.backend.example.com',
-        port: 'preserve'
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]
-```
-
-### Mixed Internal/External Port Forwarding
-
-Forward specific high-numbered ports to standard ports on internal servers:
-
-```typescript
-[
-  {
-    name: 'Web server forwarding',
-    match: {
-      ports: [8080, 8443]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'web.internal',
-        port: (context) => context.port === 8080 ? 80 : 443
-      }
-    }
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Database forwarding',
-    match: {
-      ports: [15432]
-    },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: {
-        host: 'db.internal',
-        port: 5432
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]
-```
-
-## Debugging Port Configurations
-
-When troubleshooting port forwarding issues, enable detailed logging:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [ /* your routes */ ],
-  enableDetailedLogging: true
-});
-```
-
-This will log:
-- Port configuration during startup
-- Port matching decisions during routing
-- Dynamic port function results
-- Connection details including source and target ports
-
-## Port Security Considerations
-
-### Restricting Ports
-
-For security, you may want to restrict which ports can be accessed by specific clients:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'Restricted port range',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }],
-    clientIp: ['10.0.0.0/8'] // Only internal network can access these ports
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'internal.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Rate Limiting by Port
-
-Apply different rate limits for different port ranges:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  name: 'API ports with rate limiting',
-  match: {
-    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: {
-      host: 'api.example.com',
-      port: 'preserve'
-    },
-    security: {
-      rateLimit: {
-        enabled: true,
-        maxRequests: 100,
-        window: 60 // 60 seconds
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Specific Port Ranges**: Instead of large ranges (e.g., 1-65535), use specific ranges for specific purposes
-
-2. **Prioritize Routes**: When multiple routes could match, use the `priority` field to ensure the most specific route is matched first
-
-3. **Name Your Routes**: Use descriptive names to make debugging easier, especially when using port ranges
-
-4. **Use Preserve Port Where Possible**: Using `port: 'preserve'` is more efficient and easier to maintain than creating multiple specific mappings
-
-5. **Limit Dynamic Port Functions**: While powerful, complex port functions can be harder to debug; prefer simple map or math-based functions
-
-6. **Use Port Variables**: For complex setups, define your port ranges as variables for easier maintenance:
-
-```typescript
-const API_PORTS = [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }];
-const ADMIN_PORTS = [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }];
-
-const routes = [
-  {
-    name: 'API Routes',
-    match: { ports: API_PORTS, /* ... */ },
-    // ...
-  },
-  {
-    name: 'Admin Routes',
-    match: { ports: ADMIN_PORTS, /* ... */ },
-    // ...
-  }
-];
-```

+## How to Test
+
+### Test Structure
+Tests use tapbundle from `@git.zone/tstest`. The correct pattern is:
+
+```typescript
+import { tap, expect } from '@git.zone/tstest/tapbundle';
+
+tap.test('test description', async () => {
+  // Test logic here
+  expect(someValue).toEqual(expectedValue);
+});
+
+// IMPORTANT: Must end with tap.start()

+
+### Expect Syntax (from @push.rocks/smartexpect)
+```typescript
+// Type assertions
+expect('hello').toBeTypeofString();
+expect(42).toBeTypeofNumber();
+
+// Equality
+expect('hithere').toEqual('hithere');
+
+// Negated assertions

+
+// Regular expressions
+expect('hithere').toMatch(/hi/);
+
+// Numeric comparisons
+expect(5).toBeGreaterThan(3);
+expect(0.1 + 0.2).toBeCloseTo(0.3, 10);

+expect([1, 2, 3]).toHaveLength(3);
+
+// Async assertions
+await expect(asyncFunction()).resolves.toEqual('expected');
+await expect(asyncFunction()).resolves.withTimeout(5000).toBeTypeofString();
+
+// Complex object navigation
+expect(complexObject)
+  .property('users')
+  .arrayItem(0)
+  .property('name')
+  .toEqual('Alice');

 - ACME and certificate handling via `Port80Handler` and `helpers.certificates.ts`.
 
+## ACME/Certificate Configuration Example (v19.0.0)
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'example.com',
+    match: { domains: 'example.com', ports: 443 },
+    action: {

 ## TODOs / Considerations
 - Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
 - Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
 - Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
-- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.

+## HTTP-01 ACME Challenge Fix (v19.3.8)
+
+### Issue
+Non-TLS connections on ports configured in `useHttpProxy` were not being forwarded to HttpProxy. This caused ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail when the ACME port (usually 80) was included in `useHttpProxy`.
+
+### Root Cause
+In the `RouteConnectionHandler.handleForwardAction` method, only connections with TLS settings (mode: 'terminate' or 'terminate-and-reencrypt') were being forwarded to HttpProxy. Non-TLS connections were always handled as direct connections, even when the port was configured for HttpProxy.
+
+### Solution
+Added a check for non-TLS connections on ports listed in `useHttpProxy`:
+```typescript
+// No TLS settings - check if this port should use HttpProxy
+const isHttpProxyPort = this.settings.useHttpProxy?.includes(record.localPort);
+
+if (isHttpProxyPort && this.httpProxyBridge.getHttpProxy()) {
+  // Forward non-TLS connections to HttpProxy if configured
+  this.httpProxyBridge.forwardToHttpProxy(/*...*/);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying the fix
+- Tests confirm that non-TLS connections on HttpProxy ports are properly forwarded
+- Tests verify that non-HttpProxy ports still use direct connections
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  useHttpProxy: [80], // Enable HttpProxy for port 80
+  httpProxyPort: 8443,
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+    port: 80
+  },
+  routes: [
+    // Your routes here
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+
+### Issue
+Certificate provisioning would start before ports were listening, causing ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail with connection refused errors.
+
+### Root Cause
+SmartProxy initialization sequence:
+1. Certificate manager initialized → immediately starts provisioning
+2. Ports start listening (too late for ACME challenges)
+
+### Solution
+Deferred certificate provisioning until after ports are ready:
+```typescript
+// SmartCertManager.initialize() now skips automatic provisioning
+// SmartProxy.start() calls provisionAllCertificates() directly after ports are listening
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.acme-timing-simple.ts` - Verifies proper timing sequence
+
+### Migration
+Update to v19.3.9+, no configuration changes needed.
+
+## Socket Handler Race Condition Fix (v19.5.0)
+
+### Issue
+Initial data chunks were being emitted before async socket handlers had completed setup, causing data loss when handlers performed async operations before setting up data listeners.
+
+### Root Cause
+The `handleSocketHandlerAction` method was using `process.nextTick` to emit initial chunks regardless of whether the handler was sync or async. This created a race condition where async handlers might not have their listeners ready when the initial data was emitted.
+
+### Solution
+Differentiated between sync and async handlers:
+```typescript
+const result = route.action.socketHandler(socket);
+
+if (result instanceof Promise) {
+  // Async handler - wait for completion before emitting initial data
+  result.then(() => {
+    if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    }
+  }).catch(/*...*/);
+} else {
+  // Sync handler - use process.nextTick as before
+  if (initialChunk && initialChunk.length > 0) {
+    process.nextTick(() => {
+      socket.emit('data', initialChunk);
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.socket-handler-race.ts` - Specifically tests async handlers with delayed listener setup
+- Verifies that initial data is received even when handler sets up listeners after async work
+
+### Usage Note
+Socket handlers require initial data from the client to trigger routing (not just a TLS handshake). Clients must send at least one byte of data for the handler to be invoked.
+
+## Route-Specific Security Implementation (v19.5.3)
+
+### Issue
+Route-specific security configurations (ipAllowList, ipBlockList, authentication) were defined in the route types but not enforced at runtime.
+
+### Root Cause
+The RouteConnectionHandler only checked global IP validation but didn't enforce route-specific security rules after matching a route.
+
+### Solution
+Added security checks after route matching:
+```typescript
+// Apply route-specific security checks
+const routeSecurity = route.action.security || route.security;
+if (routeSecurity) {
+  // Check IP allow/block lists
+  if (routeSecurity.ipAllowList || routeSecurity.ipBlockList) {
+    const isIPAllowed = this.securityManager.isIPAuthorized(
+      remoteIP,
+      routeSecurity.ipAllowList || [],
+      routeSecurity.ipBlockList || []
+    );
+    
+    if (!isIPAllowed) {
+      socket.end();
+      this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'route_ip_blocked');
+      return;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.route-security-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying SecurityManager.isIPAuthorized logic
+- Tests confirm IP allow/block lists work correctly with glob patterns
+
+### Configuration Example
+```typescript
+const routes: IRouteConfig[] = [{
+  name: 'secure-api',
+  match: { ports: 8443, domains: 'api.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 },
+    security: {
+      ipAllowList: ['192.168.1.*', '10.0.0.0/8'],    // Allow internal IPs
+      ipBlockList: ['192.168.1.100'],                // But block specific IP
+      maxConnections: 100,                            // Per-route limit (TODO)
+      authentication: {                               // HTTP-only, requires TLS termination
+        type: 'basic',
+        credentials: [{ username: 'api', password: 'secret' }]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}];
+```
+
+### Notes
+- IP lists support glob patterns (via minimatch): `192.168.*`, `10.?.?.1`
+- Block lists take precedence over allow lists
+- Authentication requires TLS termination (cannot be enforced on passthrough/direct connections)
+- Per-route connection limits are not yet implemented
+- Security is defined at the route level (route.security), not in the action
+- Route matching is based solely on match criteria; security is enforced after matching

+## Performance Issues Investigation (v19.5.3+)
+
+### Critical Blocking Operations Found
+1. **Busy Wait Loop** in `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`
+   - Blocks entire event loop with `while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {}`
+   - Should use `await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay))`
+
+2. **Synchronous Filesystem Operations**
+   - Certificate management uses `fs.existsSync()`, `fs.mkdirSync()`, `fs.readFileSync()`
+   - NFTables proxy uses `execSync()` for system commands
+   - Certificate store uses `ensureDirSync()`, `fileExistsSync()`, `removeManySync()`
+
+3. **Memory Leak Risks**
+   - Several `setInterval()` calls without storing references for cleanup
+   - Event listeners added without proper cleanup in error paths
+   - Missing `removeAllListeners()` calls in some connection cleanup scenarios
+
+### Performance Recommendations
+- Replace all sync filesystem operations with async alternatives
+- Fix the busy wait loop immediately (critical event loop blocker)
+- Add proper cleanup for all timers and event listeners
+- Consider worker threads for CPU-intensive operations
+- See `readme.problems.md` for detailed analysis and recommendations
+
+## Performance Optimizations Implemented (Phase 1 - v19.6.0)
+
+### 1. Async Utilities Created (`ts/core/utils/async-utils.ts`)

+# SmartProxy Performance Issues Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+This report identifies performance issues and blocking operations in the SmartProxy codebase that could impact scalability and responsiveness under high load.
+
+## Critical Issues
+
+### 1. **Synchronous Filesystem Operations**
+These operations block the event loop and should be replaced with async alternatives:
+
+#### Certificate Management
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:29`: `fs.existsSync()` 
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:30`: `fs.mkdirSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/certificate-manager.ts:49-50`: `fs.readFileSync()` for loading certificates
+
+#### NFTables Proxy
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple uses of `execSync()` for system commands
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`: Multiple `fs.writeFileSync()` and `fs.unlinkSync()` operations
+
+#### Certificate Store
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:8`: `ensureDirSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:15,31,76`: `fileExistsSync()`
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:77`: `removeManySync()`
+
+### 2. **Event Loop Blocking Operations**
+
+#### Busy Wait Loop
+- `ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts:235-238`: 
+  ```typescript
+  const waitUntil = Date.now() + retryDelayMs;
+  while (Date.now() < waitUntil) {
+    // busy wait - blocks event loop completely
+  }
+  ```
+  This is extremely problematic as it blocks the entire Node.js event loop.
+
+### 3. **Potential Memory Leaks**
+
+#### Timer Management Issues
+Several timers are created without proper cleanup:
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts`: `setInterval()` without storing reference for cleanup
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/request-handler.ts`: `setInterval()` for rate limit cleanup without cleanup
+- `ts/core/utils/shared-security-manager.ts`: `cleanupInterval` stored but no cleanup method
+
+#### Event Listener Accumulation
+- Multiple instances of event listeners being added without corresponding cleanup
+- Connection handlers add listeners without always removing them on connection close
+
+### 4. **Connection Pool Management**
+
+#### ConnectionPool (ts/proxies/http-proxy/connection-pool.ts)
+**Good practices observed:**
+- Proper connection lifecycle management
+- Periodic cleanup of idle connections
+- Connection limits enforcement
+
+**Potential issues:**
+- No backpressure mechanism when pool is full
+- Synchronous sorting operation in `cleanupConnectionPool()` could be slow with many connections
+
+### 5. **Resource Management Issues**
+
+#### Socket Cleanup
+- Some error paths don't properly clean up sockets
+- Missing `removeAllListeners()` in some error scenarios could lead to memory leaks
+
+#### Timeout Management
+- Inconsistent timeout handling across different components
+- Some sockets created without timeout settings
+
+### 6. **JSON Operations on Large Objects**
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:21`: `JSON.parse()` on certificate metadata
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts:71`: `JSON.stringify()` with pretty printing
+- `ts/proxies/http-proxy/function-cache.ts:76`: `JSON.stringify()` for cache keys (called frequently)
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions (High Priority)
+
+1. **Replace Synchronous Operations**
+   ```typescript
+   // Instead of:
+   if (fs.existsSync(path)) { ... }
+   
+   // Use:
+   try {
+     await fs.promises.access(path);
+     // file exists
+   } catch {
+     // file doesn't exist
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Fix Busy Wait Loop**
+   ```typescript
+   // Instead of:
+   while (Date.now() < waitUntil) { }
+   
+   // Use:
+   await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, retryDelayMs));
+   ```
+
+3. **Add Timer Cleanup**
+   ```typescript
+   class Component {
+     private cleanupTimer?: NodeJS.Timeout;
+     
+     start() {
+       this.cleanupTimer = setInterval(() => { ... }, 60000);
+     }
+     
+     stop() {
+       if (this.cleanupTimer) {
+         clearInterval(this.cleanupTimer);
+         this.cleanupTimer = undefined;
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+1. **Optimize JSON Operations**
+   - Cache JSON.stringify results for frequently used objects
+   - Consider using faster hashing for cache keys (e.g., crypto.createHash)
+   - Use streaming JSON parsers for large objects
+
+2. **Improve Connection Pool**
+   - Implement backpressure/queueing when pool is full
+   - Use a heap or priority queue for connection management instead of sorting
+
+3. **Standardize Resource Cleanup**
+   - Create a base class for components with lifecycle management
+   - Ensure all event listeners are removed on cleanup
+   - Add abort controllers for better cancellation support
+
+### Long-term Improvements
+
+1. **Worker Threads**
+   - Move CPU-intensive operations to worker threads
+   - Consider using worker pools for NFTables operations
+
+2. **Monitoring and Metrics**
+   - Add performance monitoring for event loop lag
+   - Track connection pool utilization
+   - Monitor memory usage patterns
+
+3. **Graceful Degradation**
+   - Implement circuit breakers for backend connections
+   - Add request queuing with overflow protection
+   - Implement adaptive timeout strategies
+
+## Impact Assessment
+
+These issues primarily affect:
+- **Scalability**: Blocking operations limit concurrent connection handling
+- **Responsiveness**: Event loop blocking causes latency spikes
+- **Stability**: Memory leaks could cause crashes under sustained load
+- **Resource Usage**: Inefficient resource management increases memory/CPU usage
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+1. Load test with high connection counts (10k+ concurrent)
+2. Monitor event loop lag under stress
+3. Test long-running scenarios to detect memory leaks
+4. Benchmark with async vs sync operations to measure improvement
+
+## Conclusion
+
+While SmartProxy has good architectural design and many best practices, the identified blocking operations and resource management issues could significantly impact performance under high load. The most critical issues (busy wait loop and synchronous filesystem operations) should be addressed immediately.
