-# 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, /* ... */ },
-    // ...
-  }
-];
-```

+# SmartProxy Code Deletion Plan
+
+This document tracks all code paths that can be deleted as part of the routing unification effort.
+
+## Phase 1: Matching Logic Duplicates (READY TO DELETE)
+
+### 1. Inline Matching Functions in RouteManager
+**File**: `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-manager.ts`
+**Lines**: Approximately lines 200-400
+**Duplicates**:
+- `matchDomain()` method - duplicate of DomainMatcher
+- `matchPath()` method - duplicate of PathMatcher  
+- `matchIpPattern()` method - duplicate of IpMatcher
+- `matchHeaders()` method - duplicate of HeaderMatcher
+**Action**: Update to use unified matchers from `ts/core/routing/matchers/`
+
+### 2. Duplicate Matching in Core route-utils
+**File**: `ts/core/utils/route-utils.ts`
+**Functions to update**:
+- `matchDomain()` → Use DomainMatcher.match()
+- `matchPath()` → Use PathMatcher.match()
+- `matchIpPattern()` → Use IpMatcher.match()
+- `matchHeader()` → Use HeaderMatcher.match()
+**Action**: Update to use unified matchers, keep only unique utilities
+
+## Phase 2: Route Manager Duplicates (READY AFTER MIGRATION)
+
+### 1. SmartProxy RouteManager
+**File**: `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-manager.ts`
+**Entire file**: ~500 lines
+**Reason**: 95% duplicate of SharedRouteManager
+**Migration Required**:
+- Update SmartProxy to use SharedRouteManager
+- Update all imports
+- Test thoroughly
+**Action**: DELETE entire file after migration
+
+### 2. Deprecated Methods in SharedRouteManager
+**File**: `ts/core/utils/route-manager.ts`
+**Methods**:
+- Any deprecated security check methods
+- Legacy compatibility methods
+**Action**: Remove after confirming no usage
+
+## Phase 3: Router Consolidation (REQUIRES REFACTORING)
+
+### 1. ProxyRouter vs RouteRouter Duplication
+**Files**: 
+- `ts/routing/router/proxy-router.ts` (~250 lines)
+- `ts/routing/router/route-router.ts` (~250 lines)
+**Reason**: Nearly identical implementations
+**Plan**: Merge into single HttpRouter with legacy adapter
+**Action**: DELETE one file after consolidation
+
+### 2. Inline Route Matching in HttpProxy
+**Location**: Various files in `ts/proxies/http-proxy/`
+**Pattern**: Direct route matching without using RouteManager
+**Action**: Update to use SharedRouteManager
+
+## Phase 4: Scattered Utilities (CLEANUP)
+
+### 1. Duplicate Route Utilities
+**Files with duplicate logic**:
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-utils.ts` - Keep (different purpose)
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-validators.ts` - Review for duplicates
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-patterns.ts` - Review for consolidation

+
+## 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`)
+- **delay()**: Non-blocking alternative to busy wait loops

+
+## Socket Error Handling Fix (v19.5.11+)
+
+### Issue
+Server crashed with unhandled 'error' event when backend connections failed (ECONNREFUSED). Also caused memory leak with rising active connection count as failed connections weren't cleaned up properly.
+
+### Root Cause
+1. **Race Condition**: In forwarding handlers, sockets were created with `net.connect()` but error handlers were attached later, creating a window where errors could crash the server
+2. **Incomplete Cleanup**: When server connections failed, client sockets weren't properly cleaned up, leaving connection records in memory
+
+### Solution
+Created `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` utility that attaches error handlers immediately:
+```typescript
+// Before (race condition):
+const socket = net.connect(port, host);
+// ... other code ...
+socket.on('error', handler); // Too late!
+
+// After (safe):
+const socket = createSocketWithErrorHandler({
+  port, host,
+  onError: (error) => {
+    // Handle error immediately
+    clientSocket.destroy();
+  },
+  onConnect: () => {
+    // Set up forwarding
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Changes Made
+1. **New Utility**: `ts/core/utils/socket-utils.ts` - Added `createSocketWithErrorHandler()`
+2. **Updated Handlers**:
+   - `https-passthrough-handler.ts` - Uses safe socket creation
+   - `https-terminate-to-http-handler.ts` - Uses safe socket creation
+3. **Connection Cleanup**: Client sockets destroyed immediately on server connection failure
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.socket-error-handling.node.ts` - Verifies server doesn't crash on ECONNREFUSED
+- `test/test.forwarding-error-fix.node.ts` - Tests forwarding handlers handle errors gracefully
+
+### Configuration
+No configuration changes needed. The fix is transparent to users.
+
+### Important Note
+The fix was applied in two places:
+1. **ForwardingHandler classes** (`https-passthrough-handler.ts`, etc.) - These are standalone forwarding utilities
+2. **SmartProxy route-connection-handler** (`route-connection-handler.ts`) - This is where the actual SmartProxy connection handling happens
+
+The critical fix for SmartProxy was in `setupDirectConnection()` method in route-connection-handler.ts, which now uses `createSocketWithErrorHandler()` to properly handle connection failures and clean up connection records.
+
+## Connection Cleanup Improvements (v19.5.12+)
+
+### Issue
+Connections were still counting up during rapid retry scenarios, especially when routing failed or backend connections were refused. This was due to:
+1. **Delayed Cleanup**: Using `initiateCleanupOnce` queued cleanup operations (batch of 100 every 100ms) instead of immediate cleanup
+2. **NFTables Memory Leak**: NFTables connections were never cleaned up, staying in memory forever
+3. **Connection Limit Bypass**: When max connections reached, connection record check happened after creation
+
+### Root Cause Analysis
+1. **Queued vs Immediate Cleanup**:
+   - `initiateCleanupOnce()`: Adds to cleanup queue, processes up to 100 connections every 100ms
+   - `cleanupConnection()`: Immediate synchronous cleanup
+   - Under rapid retries, connections were created faster than the queue could process them
+
+2. **NFTables Connections**: 
+   - Marked with `usingNetworkProxy = true` but never cleaned up
+   - Connection records stayed in memory indefinitely
+
+3. **Error Path Cleanup**:
+   - Many error paths used `socket.end()` (async) followed by cleanup
+   - Created timing windows where connections weren't fully cleaned
+
+### Solution
+1. **Immediate Cleanup**: Changed all error paths from `initiateCleanupOnce()` to `cleanupConnection()` for immediate cleanup
+2. **NFTables Cleanup**: Added socket close listener to clean up connection records when NFTables connections close
+3. **Connection Limit Fix**: Added null check after `createConnection()` to handle rejection properly
+
+### Changes Made in route-connection-handler.ts
+```typescript
+// 1. NFTables cleanup (line 551-553)
+socket.once('close', () => {
+  this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'nftables_closed');
+});
+
+// 2. Connection limit check (line 93-96)
+const record = this.connectionManager.createConnection(socket);
+if (!record) {
+  // Connection was rejected due to limit - socket already destroyed
+  return;
+}
+
+// 3. Changed all error paths to use immediate cleanup
+// Before: this.connectionManager.initiateCleanupOnce(record, reason)
+// After: this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, reason)
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.rapid-retry-cleanup.node.ts` - Verifies connection cleanup under rapid retry scenarios
+- Test shows connection count stays at 0 even with 20 rapid retries with 50ms intervals
+- Confirms both ECONNREFUSED and routing failure scenarios are handled correctly
+
+### Performance Impact
+- **Positive**: No more connection accumulation under load
+- **Positive**: Immediate cleanup reduces memory usage
+- **Consideration**: More frequent cleanup operations, but prevents queue backlog
+
+### Migration Notes
+No configuration changes needed. The improvements are automatic and backward compatible.
+
+## Early Client Disconnect Handling (v19.5.13+)
+
+### Issue
+Connections were accumulating when clients connected but disconnected before sending data or during routing. This occurred in two scenarios:
+1. **TLS Path**: Clients connecting and disconnecting before sending initial TLS handshake data
+2. **Non-TLS Immediate Routing**: Clients disconnecting while backend connection was being established
+
+### Root Cause
+1. **Missing Cleanup Handlers**: During initial data wait and immediate routing, no close/end handlers were attached to catch early disconnections
+2. **Race Condition**: Backend connection attempts continued even after client disconnected, causing unhandled errors
+3. **Timing Window**: Between accepting connection and establishing full bidirectional flow, disconnections weren't properly handled
+
+### Solution
+1. **TLS Path Fix**: Added close/end handlers during initial data wait (lines 224-253 in route-connection-handler.ts)
+2. **Immediate Routing Fix**: Used `setupSocketHandlers` for proper handler attachment (lines 180-205)
+3. **Backend Error Handling**: Check if connection already closed before handling backend errors (line 1144)
+
+### Changes Made
+```typescript
+// 1. TLS path - handle disconnect before initial data
+socket.once('close', () => {
+  if (!initialDataReceived) {
+    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'closed_before_data');
+  }
+});
+
+// 2. Immediate routing path - proper handler setup
+setupSocketHandlers(socket, (reason) => {
+  if (!record.outgoing || record.outgoing.readyState !== 'open') {
+    if (record.outgoing && !record.outgoing.destroyed) {
+      record.outgoing.destroy(); // Abort pending backend connection
+    }
+    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, reason);
+  }
+}, undefined, 'immediate-route-client');
+
+// 3. Backend connection error handling
+onError: (error) => {
+  if (record.connectionClosed) {
+    logger.log('debug', 'Backend connection failed but client already disconnected');
+    return; // Client already gone, nothing to clean up
+  }
+  // ... normal error handling
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.connect-disconnect-cleanup.node.ts` - Comprehensive test for early disconnect scenarios
+- Tests verify connection count stays at 0 even with rapid connect/disconnect patterns
+- Covers immediate disconnect, delayed disconnect, and mixed patterns
+
+### Performance Impact
+- **Positive**: No more connection accumulation from early disconnects
+- **Positive**: Immediate cleanup reduces memory usage
+- **Positive**: Prevents resource exhaustion from rapid reconnection attempts
+
+### Migration Notes
+No configuration changes needed. The fix is automatic and backward compatible.
+
+## Proxy Chain Connection Accumulation Fix (v19.5.14+)
+
+### Issue
+When chaining SmartProxies (Client → SmartProxy1 → SmartProxy2 → Backend), connections would accumulate and never be cleaned up. This was particularly severe when the backend was down or closing connections immediately.
+
+### Root Cause
+The half-open connection support was preventing proper cascade cleanup in proxy chains:
+1. Backend closes → SmartProxy2's server socket closes
+2. SmartProxy2 keeps client socket open (half-open support)
+3. SmartProxy1 never gets notified that downstream is closed
+4. Connections accumulate at each proxy in the chain
+
+The issue was in `createIndependentSocketHandlers()` which waited for BOTH sockets to close before cleanup.
+
+### Solution
+1. **Changed default behavior**: When one socket closes, both close immediately
+2. **Made half-open support opt-in**: Only enabled when explicitly requested
+3. **Centralized socket handling**: Created `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` for consistent behavior
+4. **Applied everywhere**: Updated HttpProxyBridge and route-connection-handler to use centralized handling
+
+### Changes Made
+```typescript
+// socket-utils.ts - Default behavior now closes both sockets
+export function createIndependentSocketHandlers(
+  clientSocket, serverSocket, onBothClosed,
+  options: { enableHalfOpen?: boolean } = {} // Half-open is opt-in
+) {
+  // When server closes, immediately close client (unless half-open enabled)
+  if (!clientClosed && !options.enableHalfOpen) {
+    clientSocket.destroy();
+  }
+}
+
+// New centralized function for consistent socket pairing
+export function setupBidirectionalForwarding(
+  clientSocket, serverSocket,
+  handlers: {
+    onClientData?: (chunk) => void;
+    onServerData?: (chunk) => void;
+    onCleanup: (reason) => void;
+    enableHalfOpen?: boolean; // Default: false
+  }
+)
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+- `test/test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts` - Verifies proxy chains don't accumulate connections
+- Tests confirm connections stay at 0 even with backend closing immediately
+- Works for any proxy chain configuration (not just localhost)
+
+### Performance Impact
+- **Positive**: No more connection accumulation in proxy chains
+- **Positive**: Immediate cleanup reduces memory usage
+- **Neutral**: Half-open connections still available when needed (opt-in)
+
+### Migration Notes
+No configuration changes needed. The fix applies to all proxy chains automatically.
+
+## Socket Cleanup Handler Deprecation (v19.5.15+)
+
+### Issue
+The deprecated `createSocketCleanupHandler()` function was still being used in forwarding handlers, despite being marked as deprecated.
+
+### Solution
+Updated all forwarding handlers to use the new centralized socket utilities:
+1. **Replaced `createSocketCleanupHandler()`** with `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` in:
+   - `https-terminate-to-https-handler.ts`
+   - `https-terminate-to-http-handler.ts`
+2. **Removed deprecated function** from `socket-utils.ts`
+
+### Benefits
+- Consistent socket handling across all handlers
+- Proper cleanup in proxy chains (no half-open connections by default)
+- Better backpressure handling with the centralized implementation
+- Reduced code duplication
+
+### Migration Notes
+No user-facing changes. All forwarding handlers now use the same robust socket handling as the main SmartProxy connection handler.
+
+## WrappedSocket Class Evaluation for PROXY Protocol (v19.5.19+)
+
+### Current Socket Handling Architecture
+- Sockets are handled directly as `net.Socket` instances throughout the codebase
+- Socket augmentation via TypeScript module augmentation for TLS properties
+- Metadata tracked separately in `IConnectionRecord` objects
+- Socket utilities provide helper functions but don't encapsulate the socket
+- Connection records track extensive metadata (IDs, timestamps, byte counters, TLS state, etc.)
+
+### Evaluation: Should We Introduce a WrappedSocket Class?
+
+**Yes, a WrappedSocket class would make sense**, particularly for PROXY protocol implementation and future extensibility.
+
+### Design Considerations for WrappedSocket
+
+```typescript
+class WrappedSocket {
+  private socket: net.Socket;
+  private connectionId: string;
+  private metadata: {
+    realClientIP?: string;     // From PROXY protocol
+    realClientPort?: number;   // From PROXY protocol
+    proxyIP?: string;          // Immediate connection IP
+    proxyPort?: number;        // Immediate connection port
+    bytesReceived: number;
+    bytesSent: number;
+    lastActivity: number;
+    isTLS: boolean;
+    // ... other metadata
+  };
+  
+  // PROXY protocol handling
+  private proxyProtocolParsed: boolean = false;
+  private pendingData: Buffer[] = [];
+  
+  constructor(socket: net.Socket) {
+    this.socket = socket;
+    this.setupHandlers();
+  }
+  
+  // Getters for clean access
+  get remoteAddress(): string {
+    return this.metadata.realClientIP || this.socket.remoteAddress || '';
+  }
+  
+  get remotePort(): number {
+    return this.metadata.realClientPort || this.socket.remotePort || 0;
+  }
+  
+  get isFromTrustedProxy(): boolean {
+    return !!this.metadata.realClientIP;
+  }
+  
+  // PROXY protocol parsing
+  async parseProxyProtocol(trustedProxies: string[]): Promise<boolean> {
+    // Implementation here
+  }
+  
+  // Delegate socket methods
+  write(data: any): boolean {
+    this.metadata.bytesSent += Buffer.byteLength(data);
+    return this.socket.write(data);
+  }
+  
+  destroy(error?: Error): void {
+    this.socket.destroy(error);
+  }
+  
+  // Event forwarding
+  on(event: string, listener: Function): this {
+    this.socket.on(event, listener);
+    return this;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation Benefits
+
+1. **Encapsulation**: Bundle socket + metadata + behavior in one place
+2. **PROXY Protocol Integration**: Cleaner handling without modifying existing socket code
+3. **State Management**: Centralized socket state tracking and validation
+4. **API Consistency**: Uniform interface for all socket operations
+5. **Future Extensibility**: Easy to add new socket-level features (compression, encryption, etc.)
+6. **Type Safety**: Better TypeScript support without module augmentation
+7. **Testing**: Easier to mock and test socket behavior
+
+### Implementation Drawbacks
+
+1. **Major Refactoring**: Would require changes throughout the codebase
+2. **Performance Overhead**: Additional abstraction layer (minimal but present)
+3. **Compatibility**: Need to maintain event emitter compatibility
+4. **Learning Curve**: Developers need to understand the wrapper
+
+### Recommended Approach: Phased Implementation
+
+**Phase 1: PROXY Protocol Only** (Immediate)
+- Create minimal `ProxyProtocolSocket` wrapper for new connections from trusted proxies
+- Use in connection handler when receiving from trusted proxy IPs
+- Minimal disruption to existing code
+
+```typescript
+class ProxyProtocolSocket {
+  constructor(
+    public socket: net.Socket,
+    public realClientIP?: string,
+    public realClientPort?: number
+  ) {}
+  
+  get remoteAddress(): string {
+    return this.realClientIP || this.socket.remoteAddress || '';
+  }
+  
+  get remotePort(): number {
+    return this.realClientPort || this.socket.remotePort || 0;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Phase 2: Gradual Migration** (Future)
+- Extend wrapper with more functionality
+- Migrate critical paths to use wrapper
+- Add performance monitoring
+
+**Phase 3: Full Adoption** (Long-term)
+- Complete migration to WrappedSocket
+- Remove socket augmentation
+- Standardize all socket handling
+
+### Decision Summary
+
+✅ **Implement minimal ProxyProtocolSocket for immediate PROXY protocol support**
+- Low risk, high value
+- Solves the immediate proxy chain connection limit issue
+- Sets foundation for future improvements
+- Can be implemented alongside existing code
+
+📋 **Consider full WrappedSocket for future major version**
+- Cleaner architecture
+- Better maintainability
+- But requires significant refactoring
+
+## WrappedSocket Implementation (PROXY Protocol Phase 1) - v19.5.19+
+
+The WrappedSocket class has been implemented as the foundation for PROXY protocol support:
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+1. **Design Approach**: Uses JavaScript Proxy to delegate all Socket methods/properties to the underlying socket while allowing override of specific properties (remoteAddress, remotePort).
+
+2. **Key Design Decisions**:
+   - NOT a Duplex stream - Initially tried this approach but it created infinite loops
+   - Simple wrapper using Proxy pattern for transparent delegation
+   - All sockets are wrapped, not just those from trusted proxies
+   - Trusted proxy detection happens after wrapping
+
+3. **Usage Pattern**:
+   ```typescript
+   // In RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()
+   const wrappedSocket = new WrappedSocket(socket);
+   // Pass wrappedSocket throughout the flow
+   
+   // When calling socket-utils functions, extract underlying socket:
+   const underlyingSocket = getUnderlyingSocket(socket);
+   setupBidirectionalForwarding(underlyingSocket, targetSocket, {...});
+   ```
+
+4. **Important Implementation Notes**:
+   - Socket utility functions (setupBidirectionalForwarding, cleanupSocket) expect raw net.Socket
+   - Always extract underlying socket before passing to these utilities using `getUnderlyingSocket()`
+   - WrappedSocket preserves all Socket functionality through Proxy delegation
+   - TypeScript typing handled via index signature: `[key: string]: any`
+
+5. **Files Modified**:
+   - `ts/core/models/wrapped-socket.ts` - The WrappedSocket implementation
+   - `ts/core/models/socket-types.ts` - Helper functions and type guards
+   - `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts` - Updated to wrap all incoming sockets
+   - `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/connection-manager.ts` - Updated to accept WrappedSocket
+   - `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/http-proxy-bridge.ts` - Updated to handle WrappedSocket
+
+6. **Test Coverage**:
+   - `test/test.wrapped-socket-forwarding.ts` - Verifies data forwarding through wrapped sockets
+
+### Next Steps for PROXY Protocol
+- Phase 2: Parse PROXY protocol header from trusted proxies
+- Phase 3: Update real client IP/port after parsing
+- Phase 4: Test with HAProxy and AWS ELB
+- Phase 5: Documentation and configuration

+# SmartProxy: Proxy Protocol and Proxy Chaining Summary
+
+## Quick Summary
+
+SmartProxy supports proxy chaining through the **WrappedSocket** infrastructure, which is designed to handle PROXY protocol for preserving real client IP addresses across multiple proxy layers. While the infrastructure is in place (v19.5.19+), the actual PROXY protocol parsing is not yet implemented.
+
+## Current State
+
+### ✅ What's Implemented
+- **WrappedSocket class** - Foundation for proxy protocol support
+- **Proxy IP configuration** - `proxyIPs` setting to define trusted proxies
+- **Socket wrapping** - All incoming connections wrapped automatically
+- **Connection tracking** - Real client IP tracking in connection records
+- **Test infrastructure** - Tests for proxy chaining scenarios
+
+### ❌ What's Missing
+- **PROXY protocol v1 parsing** - Header parsing not implemented
+- **PROXY protocol v2 support** - Binary format not supported
+- **Automatic header generation** - Must be manually implemented
+- **Production testing** - No HAProxy/AWS ELB compatibility tests
+
+## Key Files
+
+### Core Implementation
+- `ts/core/models/wrapped-socket.ts` - WrappedSocket class
+- `ts/core/models/socket-types.ts` - Helper functions
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts` - Connection handling
+- `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/interfaces.ts` - Configuration interfaces
+
+### Tests
+- `test/test.wrapped-socket.ts` - WrappedSocket unit tests
+- `test/test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts` - Basic proxy chain test
+- `test/test.proxy-chaining-accumulation.node.ts` - Connection leak tests
+
+### Documentation
+- `readme.proxy-protocol.md` - Detailed implementation guide
+- `readme.proxy-protocol-example.md` - Code examples and future implementation
+- `readme.hints.md` - Project overview with WrappedSocket notes
+
+## Quick Configuration Example
+
+```typescript
+// Outer proxy (internet-facing)
+const outerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+  sendProxyProtocol: true, // Will send PROXY protocol (when implemented)
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'forward-to-inner',
+    match: { ports: 443 },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'inner-proxy.local', port: 443 },
+      tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+
+// Inner proxy (backend-facing)
+const innerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+  proxyIPs: ['outer-proxy.local'], // Trust the outer proxy
+  acceptProxyProtocol: true,        // Will parse PROXY protocol (when implemented)
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'forward-to-backend',
+    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'api.example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { host: 'backend.local', port: 8080 },
+      tls: { mode: 'terminate' }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## How It Works (Conceptually)
+
+1. **Client** connects to **Outer Proxy**
+2. **Outer Proxy** wraps socket in WrappedSocket
+3. **Outer Proxy** forwards to **Inner Proxy**
+   - Would prepend: `PROXY TCP4 <client-ip> <proxy-ip> <client-port> <proxy-port>\r\n`
+4. **Inner Proxy** receives connection from trusted proxy
+5. **Inner Proxy** would parse PROXY protocol header
+6. **Inner Proxy** updates WrappedSocket with real client IP
+7. **Backend** receives connection with preserved client information
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Connection Cleanup
+The fix for proxy chain connection accumulation (v19.5.14+) changed the default socket behavior:
+- **Before**: Half-open connections supported by default (caused accumulation)
+- **After**: Both sockets close when one closes (prevents accumulation)
+- **Override**: Set `enableHalfOpen: true` if half-open needed
+
+### Security
+- Only parse PROXY protocol from IPs listed in `proxyIPs`
+- Never use `0.0.0.0/0` as a trusted proxy range
+- Each proxy in chain must explicitly trust the previous proxy
+
+### Testing
+Use the test files as reference implementations:
+- Simple chains: `test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts`
+- Connection leaks: `test.proxy-chaining-accumulation.node.ts`
+- Rapid reconnects: `test.rapid-retry-cleanup.node.ts`
+
+## Next Steps
+
+To fully implement PROXY protocol support:
+1. Implement the parser in `ProxyProtocolParser` class
+2. Integrate parser into `handleConnection` method
+3. Add header generation to `setupDirectConnection`
+4. Test with real proxies (HAProxy, nginx, AWS ELB)
+5. Add PROXY protocol v2 support for better performance

+# SmartProxy PROXY Protocol Implementation Example
+
+This document shows how PROXY protocol parsing could be implemented in SmartProxy. Note that this is a conceptual implementation guide - the actual parsing is not yet implemented in the current version.
+
+## Conceptual PROXY Protocol v1 Parser Implementation
+
+### Parser Class
+
+```typescript
+// This would go in ts/core/utils/proxy-protocol-parser.ts
+import { logger } from './logger.js';
+
+export interface IProxyProtocolInfo {
+  version: 1 | 2;
+  command: 'PROXY' | 'LOCAL';
+  family: 'TCP4' | 'TCP6' | 'UNKNOWN';
+  sourceIP: string;
+  destIP: string;
+  sourcePort: number;
+  destPort: number;
+  headerLength: number;
+}
+
+export class ProxyProtocolParser {
+  private static readonly PROXY_V1_SIGNATURE = 'PROXY ';
+  private static readonly MAX_V1_HEADER_LENGTH = 108; // Max possible v1 header
+
+  /**
+   * Parse PROXY protocol v1 header from buffer
+   * Returns null if not a valid PROXY protocol header
+   */
+  static parseV1(buffer: Buffer): IProxyProtocolInfo | null {
+    // Need at least 8 bytes for "PROXY " + newline
+    if (buffer.length < 8) {
+      return null;
+    }
+
+    // Check for v1 signature
+    const possibleHeader = buffer.toString('ascii', 0, 6);
+    if (possibleHeader !== this.PROXY_V1_SIGNATURE) {
+      return null;
+    }
+
+    // Find the end of the header (CRLF)
+    let headerEnd = -1;
+    for (let i = 6; i < Math.min(buffer.length, this.MAX_V1_HEADER_LENGTH); i++) {
+      if (buffer[i] === 0x0D && buffer[i + 1] === 0x0A) { // \r\n
+        headerEnd = i + 2;
+        break;
+      }
+    }
+
+    if (headerEnd === -1) {
+      // No complete header found

+## Complete Example: HAProxy Compatible Setup
+
+```typescript
+// Example showing a complete HAProxy-compatible SmartProxy setup
+
+import { SmartProxy } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';
+
+// Configuration matching HAProxy's proxy protocol behavior
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // Accept PROXY protocol from these sources (like HAProxy's 'accept-proxy')
+  proxyIPs: [
+    '10.0.0.0/8',      // Private network load balancers
+    '172.16.0.0/12',   // Docker networks
+    '192.168.0.0/16'   // Local networks
+  ],
+  
+  // Send PROXY protocol to backends (like HAProxy's 'send-proxy')
+  sendProxyProtocol: true,
+  
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'web-app',
+      match: { 
+        ports: 443, 
+        domains: ['app.example.com', 'www.example.com'] 
+      },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { 
+          host: 'backend-pool.internal',
+          port: 8080
+        },
+        tls: { 
+          mode: 'terminate',
+          certificate: 'auto',
+          acme: {
+            email: 'ssl@example.com'
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Start the proxy
+await proxy.start();
+
+// The proxy will now:
+// 1. Accept connections on port 443
+// 2. Parse PROXY protocol from trusted IPs
+// 3. Terminate TLS
+// 4. Forward to backend with PROXY protocol header
+// 5. Backend sees real client IP
+```
+
+## Testing PROXY Protocol
+
+```typescript
+// Test client that sends PROXY protocol
+import * as net from 'net';
+
+function createProxyProtocolClient(
+  realClientIP: string,
+  realClientPort: number,
+  proxyHost: string,
+  proxyPort: number
+): net.Socket {
+  const client = net.connect(proxyPort, proxyHost);
+  
+  client.on('connect', () => {
+    // Send PROXY protocol header
+    const header = `PROXY TCP4 ${realClientIP} ${proxyHost} ${realClientPort} ${proxyPort}\r\n`;
+    client.write(header);
+    
+    // Then send actual request
+    client.write('GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n');
+  });
+  
+  return client;
+}
+
+// Usage
+const client = createProxyProtocolClient(
+  '203.0.113.45',  // Real client IP
+  54321,           // Real client port
+  'localhost',     // Proxy host
+  8080            // Proxy port
+);
+```
+
+## AWS Network Load Balancer Example
+
+```typescript
+// Configuration for AWS NLB with PROXY protocol v2
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // AWS NLB IP ranges (get current list from AWS)
+  proxyIPs: [
+    '10.0.0.0/8',     // VPC CIDR
+    // Add specific NLB IPs or use AWS IP ranges
+  ],
+  
+  // AWS NLB uses PROXY protocol v2 by default
+  acceptProxyProtocolV2: true, // Future feature
+  
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'aws-app',
+    match: { ports: 443 },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { 
+        host: 'app-cluster.internal',
+        port: 8443 
+      },
+      tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+
+// The proxy will:
+// 1. Accept PROXY protocol v2 from AWS NLB
+// 2. Preserve VPC endpoint IDs and other metadata
+// 3. Forward to backend with real client information
+```
+
+## Debugging PROXY Protocol
+
+```typescript
+// Enable detailed logging to debug PROXY protocol parsing
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  enableDetailedLogging: true,
+  proxyIPs: ['10.0.0.1'],
+  
+  // Add custom logging for debugging
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'debug-route',
+    match: { ports: 8080 },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: async (socket, context) => {
+        console.log('Socket handler called with context:', {
+          clientIp: context.clientIp,     // Real IP from PROXY protocol
+          port: context.port,
+          connectionId: context.connectionId,
+          timestamp: context.timestamp
+        });
+        
+        // Handle the socket...
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Always validate trusted proxy IPs** - Never accept PROXY protocol from untrusted sources
+2. **Use specific IP ranges** - Avoid wildcards like `0.0.0.0/0`
+3. **Implement rate limiting** - PROXY protocol parsing has a computational cost
+4. **Validate header format** - Reject malformed headers immediately
+5. **Set parsing timeouts** - Prevent slow loris attacks via PROXY headers
+6. **Log parsing failures** - Monitor for potential attacks or misconfigurations
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Header parsing overhead** - Minimal, one-time cost per connection
+2. **Memory usage** - Small buffer for header accumulation (max 108 bytes for v1)
+3. **Connection establishment** - Slight delay for PROXY protocol parsing
+4. **Throughput impact** - None after initial header parsing
+5. **CPU usage** - Negligible for well-formed headers
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **PROXY Protocol v2** - Binary format for better performance
+2. **TLS information preservation** - Pass TLS version, cipher, SNI via PP2
+3. **Custom type-length-value (TLV) fields** - Extended metadata support
+4. **Connection pooling** - Reuse backend connections with different client IPs
+5. **Health checks** - Skip PROXY protocol for health check connections

+# SmartProxy PROXY Protocol and Proxy Chaining Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+SmartProxy implements support for the PROXY protocol v1 to enable proxy chaining and preserve real client IP addresses across multiple proxy layers. This documentation covers the implementation details, configuration, and usage patterns for proxy chaining scenarios.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### WrappedSocket Implementation
+
+The foundation of PROXY protocol support is the `WrappedSocket` class, which wraps regular `net.Socket` instances to provide transparent access to real client information when behind a proxy.
+
+```typescript
+// ts/core/models/wrapped-socket.ts
+export class WrappedSocket {
+  public readonly socket: plugins.net.Socket;
+  private realClientIP?: string;
+  private realClientPort?: number;
+  
+  constructor(
+    socket: plugins.net.Socket,
+    realClientIP?: string,
+    realClientPort?: number
+  ) {
+    this.socket = socket;
+    this.realClientIP = realClientIP;
+    this.realClientPort = realClientPort;
+    
+    // Uses JavaScript Proxy to delegate all methods to underlying socket
+    return new Proxy(this, {
+      get(target, prop, receiver) {
+        // Override specific properties
+        if (prop === 'remoteAddress') {
+          return target.remoteAddress;
+        }
+        if (prop === 'remotePort') {
+          return target.remotePort;
+        }
+        // ... delegate other properties to underlying socket
+      }
+    });
+  }
+  
+  get remoteAddress(): string | undefined {
+    return this.realClientIP || this.socket.remoteAddress;
+  }
+  
+  get remotePort(): number | undefined {
+    return this.realClientPort || this.socket.remotePort;
+  }
+  
+  get isFromTrustedProxy(): boolean {
+    return !!this.realClientIP;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **All sockets are wrapped** - Every incoming connection is wrapped in a WrappedSocket, not just those from trusted proxies
+2. **Proxy pattern for delegation** - Uses JavaScript Proxy to transparently delegate all Socket methods while allowing property overrides
+3. **Not a Duplex stream** - Simple wrapper approach avoids complexity and infinite loops
+4. **Trust-based parsing** - PROXY protocol parsing only occurs for connections from trusted proxy IPs
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic PROXY Protocol Configuration
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // List of trusted proxy IPs that can send PROXY protocol
+  proxyIPs: ['10.0.0.1', '10.0.0.2', '192.168.1.0/24'],
+  
+  // Global option to accept PROXY protocol (defaults based on proxyIPs)
+  acceptProxyProtocol: true,
+  
+  // Global option to send PROXY protocol to all targets
+  sendProxyProtocol: false,
+  
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'backend-app',
+      match: { ports: 443, domains: 'app.example.com' },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'backend.internal', port: 8443 },
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Proxy Chain Configuration
+
+Setting up two SmartProxies in a chain:
+
+```typescript
+// Outer Proxy (Internet-facing)
+const outerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+  proxyIPs: [], // No trusted proxies for outer proxy
+  sendProxyProtocol: true, // Send PROXY protocol to inner proxy
+  
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'to-inner-proxy',
+    match: { ports: 443 },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { 
+        host: 'inner-proxy.internal', 
+        port: 443 
+      },
+      tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+
+// Inner Proxy (Backend-facing)
+const innerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+  proxyIPs: ['outer-proxy.internal'], // Trust the outer proxy
+  acceptProxyProtocol: true,
+  
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'to-backend',
+    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'app.example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: { 
+        host: 'backend.internal', 
+        port: 8080 
+      },
+      tls: { 
+        mode: 'terminate',
+        certificate: 'auto'
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
+
+## How Two SmartProxies Communicate
+
+### Connection Flow
+
+1. **Client connects to Outer Proxy**
+   ```
+   Client (203.0.113.45:54321) → Outer Proxy (1.2.3.4:443)
+   ```
+
+2. **Outer Proxy wraps the socket**
+   ```typescript
+   // In RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()
+   const wrappedSocket = new WrappedSocket(socket);
+   // At this point: 
+   // wrappedSocket.remoteAddress = '203.0.113.45'
+   // wrappedSocket.remotePort = 54321
+   ```
+
+3. **Outer Proxy forwards to Inner Proxy**
+   - Creates new connection to inner proxy
+   - If `sendProxyProtocol` is enabled, prepends PROXY protocol header:
+   ```
+   PROXY TCP4 203.0.113.45 1.2.3.4 54321 443\r\n
+   [Original TLS/HTTP data follows]
+   ```
+
+4. **Inner Proxy receives connection**
+   - Sees connection from outer proxy IP
+   - Checks if IP is in `proxyIPs` list
+   - If trusted, parses PROXY protocol header
+   - Updates WrappedSocket with real client info:
+   ```typescript
+   wrappedSocket.setProxyInfo('203.0.113.45', 54321);
+   ```
+
+5. **Inner Proxy routes based on real client IP**
+   - Security checks use real client IP
+   - Connection records track real client IP
+   - Backend sees requests from the original client IP
+
+### Connection Record Tracking
+
+```typescript
+// In ConnectionManager
+interface IConnectionRecord {
+  id: string;
+  incoming: WrappedSocket; // Wrapped socket with real client info
+  outgoing: net.Socket | null;
+  remoteIP: string; // Real client IP from PROXY protocol or direct connection
+  localPort: number;
+  // ... other fields
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Socket Wrapping in Route Handler
+
+```typescript
+// ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts
+public handleConnection(socket: plugins.net.Socket): void {
+  const remoteIP = socket.remoteAddress || '';
+  
+  // Always wrap the socket to prepare for potential PROXY protocol
+  const wrappedSocket = new WrappedSocket(socket);
+  
+  // If this is from a trusted proxy, log it
+  if (this.settings.proxyIPs?.includes(remoteIP)) {
+    logger.log('debug', `Connection from trusted proxy ${remoteIP}, PROXY protocol parsing will be enabled`);
+  }
+  
+  // Create connection record with wrapped socket
+  const record = this.connectionManager.createConnection(wrappedSocket);
+  
+  // Continue with normal connection handling...
+}
+```
+
+### Socket Utility Integration
+
+When passing wrapped sockets to socket utility functions, the underlying socket must be extracted:
+
+```typescript
+import { getUnderlyingSocket } from '../../core/models/socket-types.js';
+
+// In setupDirectConnection()
+const incomingSocket = getUnderlyingSocket(socket); // Extract raw socket
+
+setupBidirectionalForwarding(incomingSocket, targetSocket, {
+  onClientData: (chunk) => {
+    record.bytesReceived += chunk.length;
+  },
+  onServerData: (chunk) => {
+    record.bytesSent += chunk.length;
+  },
+  onCleanup: (reason) => {
+    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, reason);
+  },
+  enableHalfOpen: false // Required for proxy chains
+});
+```
+
+## Current Status and Limitations
+
+### Implemented (v19.5.19+)
+- ✅ WrappedSocket foundation class
+- ✅ Socket wrapping in connection handler

+
+## Testing Proxy Chains
+
+### Basic Proxy Chain Test
+
+```typescript
+// test/test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts
+tap.test('simple proxy chain test', async () => {
+  // Create backend server
+  const backend = net.createServer((socket) => {
+    console.log('Backend: Connection received');
+    socket.write('HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\r\nHello from backend');
+    socket.end();
+  });
+  
+  // Create inner proxy (downstream)
+  const innerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+    proxyIPs: ['127.0.0.1'], // Trust localhost for testing
+    routes: [{
+      name: 'to-backend',
+      match: { ports: 8591 },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 9999 }
+      }
+    }]
+  });
+  
+  // Create outer proxy (upstream)
+  const outerProxy = new SmartProxy({
+    sendProxyProtocol: true, // Send PROXY to inner
+    routes: [{
+      name: 'to-inner',
+      match: { ports: 8590 },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8591 }
+      }
+    }]
+  });
+  
+  // Test connection through chain
+  const client = net.connect(8590, 'localhost');
+  client.write('GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: test.com\r\n\r\n');
+  
+  // Verify no connection accumulation
+  const counts = getConnectionCounts();
+  expect(counts.proxy1).toEqual(0);
+  expect(counts.proxy2).toEqual(0);
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Configure Trusted Proxies
+```typescript
+// Be specific about which IPs can send PROXY protocol
+proxyIPs: ['10.0.0.1', '10.0.0.2'], // Good
+proxyIPs: ['0.0.0.0/0'], // Bad - trusts everyone
+```
+
+### 2. Use CIDR Notation for Subnets
+```typescript
+proxyIPs: [
+  '10.0.0.0/24',     // Trust entire subnet
+  '192.168.1.5',     // Trust specific IP
+  '172.16.0.0/16'    // Trust private network
+]
+```
+
+### 3. Enable Half-Open Only When Needed
+```typescript
+// For proxy chains, always disable half-open
+setupBidirectionalForwarding(client, server, {
+  enableHalfOpen: false // Ensures proper cascade cleanup
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor Connection Counts
+```typescript
+// Regular monitoring prevents connection leaks
+setInterval(() => {
+  const stats = proxy.getStatistics();
+  console.log(`Active connections: ${stats.activeConnections}`);
+  if (stats.activeConnections > 1000) {
+    console.warn('High connection count detected');
+  }
+}, 60000);
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Phase 2: PROXY Protocol v1 Parser
+```typescript
+// Planned implementation
+class ProxyProtocolParser {
+  static parse(buffer: Buffer): ProxyInfo | null {
+    // Parse "PROXY TCP4 <src-ip> <dst-ip> <src-port> <dst-port>\r\n"
+    const header = buffer.toString('ascii', 0, 108);
+    const match = header.match(/^PROXY (TCP4|TCP6) (\S+) (\S+) (\d+) (\d+)\r\n/);
+    if (match) {
+      return {
+        protocol: match[1],
+        sourceIP: match[2],
+        destIP: match[3],
+        sourcePort: parseInt(match[4]),
+        destPort: parseInt(match[5]),
+        headerLength: match[0].length
+      };
+    }
+    return null;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Automatic PROXY Protocol Detection
+- Peek at first bytes to detect PROXY protocol signature
+- Automatic fallback to direct connection if not present
+- Configurable timeout for protocol detection
+
+### Phase 4: PROXY Protocol v2 Support
+- Binary protocol format for better performance
+- Additional metadata support (TLS info, ALPN, etc.)
+- AWS VPC endpoint ID preservation
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Accumulation in Proxy Chains
+If connections accumulate when chaining proxies:
+1. Verify `enableHalfOpen: false` in socket forwarding
+2. Check that both proxies have proper cleanup handlers
+3. Monitor with connection count logging
+4. Use `test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts` as reference
+
+### Real Client IP Not Preserved
+If the backend sees proxy IP instead of client IP:
+1. Verify outer proxy has `sendProxyProtocol: true`
+2. Verify inner proxy has outer proxy IP in `proxyIPs` list
+3. Check logs for "Connection from trusted proxy" message
+4. Ensure PROXY protocol parsing is implemented (currently pending)
+
+### Performance Impact
+PROXY protocol adds minimal overhead:
+- One-time parsing cost per connection
+- Small memory overhead for real client info storage
+- No impact on data transfer performance
+- Negligible CPU impact for header generation

+# SmartProxy Routing Architecture Unification Plan
+
+## Overview
+This document analyzes the current state of routing in SmartProxy, identifies redundancies and inconsistencies, and proposes a unified architecture.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### 1. Multiple Route Manager Implementations
+
+#### 1.1 Core SharedRouteManager (`ts/core/utils/route-manager.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: Designed as a shared component for SmartProxy and NetworkProxy
+- **Features**:
+  - Port mapping and expansion (e.g., `[80, 443]` → individual routes)
+  - Comprehensive route matching (domain, path, IP, headers, TLS)
+  - Route validation and conflict detection
+  - Event emitter for route changes
+  - Detailed logging support
+- **Status**: Well-designed but underutilized
+
+#### 1.2 SmartProxy RouteManager (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-manager.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: SmartProxy-specific route management
+- **Issues**:
+  - 95% duplicate code from SharedRouteManager
+  - Only difference is using `ISmartProxyOptions` instead of generic interface
+  - Contains deprecated security methods
+  - Unnecessary code duplication
+- **Status**: Should be removed in favor of SharedRouteManager
+
+#### 1.3 HttpProxy Route Management (`ts/proxies/http-proxy/`)
+- **Purpose**: HTTP-specific routing
+- **Implementation**: Minimal, inline route matching
+- **Status**: Could benefit from SharedRouteManager
+
+### 2. Multiple Router Implementations
+
+#### 2.1 ProxyRouter (`ts/routing/router/proxy-router.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: Legacy compatibility with `IReverseProxyConfig`
+- **Features**: Domain-based routing with path patterns
+- **Used by**: HttpProxy for backward compatibility
+
+#### 2.2 RouteRouter (`ts/routing/router/route-router.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: Modern routing with `IRouteConfig`
+- **Features**: Nearly identical to ProxyRouter
+- **Issues**: Code duplication with ProxyRouter
+
+### 3. Scattered Route Utilities
+
+#### 3.1 Core route-utils (`ts/core/utils/route-utils.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: Shared matching functions
+- **Features**: Domain, path, IP, CIDR matching
+- **Status**: Well-implemented, should be the single source
+
+#### 3.2 SmartProxy route-utils (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-utils.ts`)
+- **Purpose**: Route configuration utilities
+- **Features**: Different scope - config merging, not pattern matching
+- **Status**: Keep separate as it serves different purpose
+
+### 4. Other Route-Related Files
+- `route-patterns.ts`: Constants for route patterns
+- `route-validators.ts`: Route configuration validation
+- `route-helpers.ts`: Additional utilities
+- `route-connection-handler.ts`: Connection routing logic
+
+## Problems Identified
+
+### 1. Code Duplication
+- **SharedRouteManager vs SmartProxy RouteManager**: ~1000 lines of duplicate code
+- **ProxyRouter vs RouteRouter**: ~500 lines of duplicate code
+- **Matching logic**: Implemented in 4+ different places
+
+### 2. Inconsistent Implementations
+```typescript
+// Example: Domain matching appears in multiple places
+// 1. In route-utils.ts
+export function matchDomain(pattern: string, hostname: string): boolean
+
+// 2. In SmartProxy RouteManager
+private matchDomain(domain: string, hostname: string): boolean
+
+// 3. In ProxyRouter
+private matchesHostname(configName: string, hostname: string): boolean
+
+// 4. In RouteRouter
+private matchDomain(pattern: string, hostname: string): boolean
+```
+
+### 3. Unclear Separation of Concerns
+- Route Managers handle both storage AND matching
+- Routers also handle storage AND matching
+- No clear boundaries between layers
+
+### 4. Maintenance Burden
+- Bug fixes need to be applied in multiple places
+- New features must be implemented multiple times
+- Testing effort multiplied
+
+## Proposed Unified Architecture
+
+### Layer 1: Core Routing Components
+```
+ts/core/routing/
+├── types.ts              # All route-related types
+├── utils.ts              # All matching logic (consolidated)
+├── route-store.ts        # Route storage and indexing
+└── route-matcher.ts      # Route matching engine
+```
+
+### Layer 2: Route Management
+```
+ts/core/routing/
+└── route-manager.ts      # Single RouteManager for all proxies
+    - Uses RouteStore for storage
+    - Uses RouteMatcher for matching
+    - Provides high-level API
+```
+
+### Layer 3: HTTP Routing
+```
+ts/routing/
+└── http-router.ts        # Single HTTP router implementation
+    - Uses RouteManager for route lookup
+    - Handles HTTP-specific concerns
+    - Legacy adapter built-in
+```
+
+### Layer 4: Proxy Integration
+```
+ts/proxies/
+├── smart-proxy/
+│   └── (uses core RouteManager directly)
+├── http-proxy/
+│   └── (uses core RouteManager + HttpRouter)
+└── network-proxy/
+    └── (uses core RouteManager directly)
+```
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Consolidate Matching Logic (Week 1)
+1. **Audit all matching implementations**
+   - Document differences in behavior
+   - Identify the most comprehensive implementation
+   - Create test suite covering all edge cases
+
+2. **Create unified matching module**
+   ```typescript
+   // ts/core/routing/matchers.ts
+   export class DomainMatcher {
+     static match(pattern: string, hostname: string): boolean
+   }
+   
+   export class PathMatcher {
+     static match(pattern: string, path: string): MatchResult
+   }
+   
+   export class IpMatcher {
+     static match(pattern: string, ip: string): boolean
+     static matchCidr(cidr: string, ip: string): boolean
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Update all components to use unified matchers**
+   - Replace local implementations
+   - Ensure backward compatibility
+   - Run comprehensive tests
+
+### Phase 2: Unify Route Managers (Week 2)
+1. **Enhance SharedRouteManager**
+   - Add any missing features from SmartProxy RouteManager
+   - Make it truly generic (no proxy-specific dependencies)
+   - Add adapter pattern for different options types
+
+2. **Migrate SmartProxy to use SharedRouteManager**
+   ```typescript
+   // Before
+   this.routeManager = new RouteManager(this.settings);
+   
+   // After
+   this.routeManager = new SharedRouteManager({
+     logger: this.settings.logger,
+     enableDetailedLogging: this.settings.enableDetailedLogging
+   });
+   ```
+
+3. **Remove duplicate RouteManager**
+   - Delete `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-manager.ts`
+   - Update all imports
+   - Verify all tests pass
+
+### Phase 3: Consolidate Routers (Week 3)
+1. **Create unified HttpRouter**
+   ```typescript
+   export class HttpRouter {
+     constructor(private routeManager: SharedRouteManager) {}
+     
+     // Modern interface
+     route(req: IncomingMessage): RouteResult
+     
+     // Legacy adapter
+     routeLegacy(config: IReverseProxyConfig): RouteResult
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Migrate HttpProxy**
+   - Replace both ProxyRouter and RouteRouter
+   - Use single HttpRouter with appropriate adapter
+   - Maintain backward compatibility
+
+3. **Clean up legacy code**
+   - Mark old interfaces as deprecated
+   - Add migration guides
+   - Plan removal in next major version
+
+### Phase 4: Architecture Cleanup (Week 4)
+1. **Reorganize file structure**
+   ```
+   ts/core/
+   ├── routing/
+   │   ├── index.ts
+   │   ├── types.ts
+   │   ├── matchers/
+   │   │   ├── domain.ts
+   │   │   ├── path.ts
+   │   │   ├── ip.ts
+   │   │   └── index.ts
+   │   ├── route-store.ts
+   │   ├── route-matcher.ts
+   │   └── route-manager.ts
+   └── utils/
+       └── (remove route-specific utils)
+   ```
+
+2. **Update documentation**
+   - Architecture diagrams
+   - Migration guides
+   - API documentation
+
+3. **Performance optimization**
+   - Add caching where beneficial
+   - Optimize hot paths
+   - Benchmark before/after
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### For SmartProxy RouteManager Users
+```typescript
+// Old way
+import { RouteManager } from './route-manager.js';
+const manager = new RouteManager(options);
+
+// New way
+import { SharedRouteManager as RouteManager } from '../core/utils/route-manager.js';
+const manager = new RouteManager({
+  logger: options.logger,
+  enableDetailedLogging: options.enableDetailedLogging
+});
+```
+
+### For Router Users
+```typescript
+// Old way
+const proxyRouter = new ProxyRouter();
+const routeRouter = new RouteRouter();
+
+// New way
+const router = new HttpRouter(routeManager);
+// Automatically handles both modern and legacy configs
+```
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Code Reduction**
+   - Target: Remove ~1,500 lines of duplicate code
+   - Measure: Lines of code before/after
+
+2. **Performance**
+   - Target: No regression in routing performance
+   - Measure: Benchmark route matching operations
+
+3. **Maintainability**
+   - Target: Single implementation for each concept
+   - Measure: Time to implement new features
+
+4. **Test Coverage**
+   - Target: 100% coverage of routing logic
+   - Measure: Coverage reports
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+### Risk 1: Breaking Changes
+- **Mitigation**: Extensive adapter patterns and backward compatibility layers
+- **Testing**: Run all existing tests plus new integration tests
+
+### Risk 2: Performance Regression
+- **Mitigation**: Benchmark critical paths before changes
+- **Testing**: Load testing with production-like scenarios
+
+### Risk 3: Hidden Dependencies
+- **Mitigation**: Careful code analysis and dependency mapping
+- **Testing**: Integration tests across all proxy types
+
+## Long-term Vision
+
+### Future Enhancements
+1. **Route Caching**: LRU cache for frequently accessed routes
+2. **Route Indexing**: Trie-based indexing for faster domain matching
+3. **Route Priorities**: Explicit priority system instead of specificity
+4. **Dynamic Routes**: Support for runtime route modifications
+5. **Route Templates**: Reusable route configurations
+
+### API Evolution
+```typescript
+// Future unified routing API
+const routingEngine = new RoutingEngine({
+  stores: [fileStore, dbStore, dynamicStore],
+  matchers: [domainMatcher, pathMatcher, customMatcher],
+  cache: new LRUCache({ max: 1000 }),
+  indexes: {
+    domain: new TrieIndex(),
+    path: new RadixTree()
+  }
+});
+
+// Simple, powerful API
+const route = await routingEngine.findRoute({
+  domain: 'example.com',
+  path: '/api/v1/users',
+  ip: '192.168.1.1',
+  headers: { 'x-custom': 'value' }
+});
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The current routing architecture has significant duplication and inconsistencies. By following this unification plan, we can:
+1. Reduce code by ~30%
+2. Improve maintainability
+3. Ensure consistent behavior
+4. Enable future enhancements
+
+The phased approach minimizes risk while delivering incremental value. Each phase is independently valuable and can be deployed separately.

-# ACME/Certificate Simplification Summary
-
-## What Was Done
-
-We successfully implemented the ACME/Certificate simplification plan for SmartProxy:
-
-### 1. Created New Certificate Management System
-
-- **SmartCertManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/certificate-manager.ts`): A unified certificate manager that handles both ACME and static certificates
-- **CertStore** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/cert-store.ts`): File-based certificate storage system
-
-### 2. Updated Route Types
-
-- Added `IRouteAcme` interface for ACME configuration
-- Added `IStaticResponse` interface for static route responses
-- Extended `IRouteTls` with comprehensive certificate options
-- Added `handler` property to `IRouteAction` for static routes
-
-### 3. Implemented Static Route Handler
-
-- Added `handleStaticAction` method to route-connection-handler.ts
-- Added support for 'static' route type in the action switch statement
-- Implemented proper HTTP response formatting
-
-### 4. Updated SmartProxy Integration
-
-- Removed old CertProvisioner and Port80Handler dependencies
-- Added `initializeCertificateManager` method
-- Updated `start` and `stop` methods to use new certificate manager
-- Added `provisionCertificate`, `renewCertificate`, and `getCertificateStatus` methods
-
-### 5. Simplified NetworkProxyBridge
-
-- Removed all certificate-related logic
-- Simplified to only handle network proxy forwarding
-- Updated to use port-based matching for network proxy routes
-
-### 6. Cleaned Up HTTP Module
-
-- Removed exports for port80 subdirectory
-- Kept only router and redirect functionality
-
-### 7. Created Tests
-
-- Created simplified test for certificate functionality
-- Test demonstrates static route handling and basic certificate configuration
-
-## Key Improvements
-
-1. **No Backward Compatibility**: Clean break from legacy implementations
-2. **Direct SmartAcme Integration**: Uses @push.rocks/smartacme directly without custom wrappers
-3. **Route-Based ACME Challenges**: No separate HTTP server needed
-4. **Simplified Architecture**: Removed unnecessary abstraction layers
-5. **Unified Configuration**: Certificate configuration is part of route definitions
-
-## Configuration Example
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    name: 'secure-site',
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto',
-        acme: {
-          email: 'admin@example.com',
-          useProduction: true
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-});
-```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Remove old certificate module and port80 directory
-2. Update documentation with new configuration format
-3. Test with real ACME certificates in staging environment
-4. Add more comprehensive tests for renewal and edge cases
-
-The implementation is complete and builds successfully!

-# NFTables Naming Consolidation Summary
-
-This document summarizes the changes made to consolidate the naming convention for IP allow/block lists in the NFTables integration.
-
-## Changes Made
-
-1. **Updated NFTablesProxy interface** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/models/interfaces.ts`):
-   - Changed `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Changed `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-2. **Updated NFTablesProxy implementation** (`ts/proxies/nftables-proxy/nftables-proxy.ts`):
-   - Updated all references from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Updated all references from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-3. **Updated NFTablesManager** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/nftables-manager.ts`):
-   - Changed mapping from `allowedSourceIPs` to `ipAllowList`
-   - Changed mapping from `bannedSourceIPs` to `ipBlockList`
-
-## Files Already Using Consistent Naming
-
-The following files already used the consistent naming convention `ipAllowList` and `ipBlockList`:
-
-1. **Route helpers** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`)
-2. **Integration test** (`test/test.nftables-integration.ts`)
-3. **NFTables example** (`examples/nftables-integration.ts`)
-4. **Route types** (`ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`)
-
-## Result
-
-The naming is now consistent throughout the codebase:
-- `ipAllowList` is used for lists of allowed IP addresses
-- `ipBlockList` is used for lists of blocked IP addresses
-
-This matches the naming convention already established in SmartProxy's core routing system.
