-# Certificate Management in SmartProxy v18+
-
-## Overview
-
-SmartProxy v18+ introduces a simplified certificate management system using the new `SmartCertManager` class. This replaces the previous `Port80Handler` and multiple certificate-related modules with a unified, route-based approach.
-
-## Key Changes from Previous Versions
-
-- **No backward compatibility**: This is a clean break from the legacy certificate system
-- **No separate Port80Handler**: ACME challenges are now handled as regular SmartProxy routes
-- **Unified route-based configuration**: Certificates are configured directly in route definitions
-- **Direct integration with @push.rocks/smartacme**: Leverages SmartAcme's built-in capabilities
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Route-Level Certificate Configuration
-
-Certificates are now configured at the route level using the `tls` property:
-
-```typescript
-const route: IRouteConfig = {
-  name: 'secure-website',
-  match: {
-    ports: 443,
-    domains: ['example.com', 'www.example.com']
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-    tls: {
-      mode: 'terminate',
-      certificate: 'auto',  // Use ACME (Let's Encrypt)
-      acme: {
-        email: 'admin@example.com',
-        useProduction: true,
-        renewBeforeDays: 30
-      }
-    }
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Static Certificate Configuration
-
-For manually managed certificates:
-
-```typescript
-const route: IRouteConfig = {
-  name: 'api-endpoint',
-  match: {
-    ports: 443,
-    domains: 'api.example.com'
-  },
-  action: {
-    type: 'forward',
-    target: { host: 'localhost', port: 9000 },
-    tls: {
-      mode: 'terminate',
-      certificate: {
-        certFile: './certs/api.crt',
-        keyFile: './certs/api.key',
-        ca: '...' // Optional CA chain
-      }
-    }
-  }
-};
-```
-
-## TLS Modes
-
-SmartProxy supports three TLS modes:
-
-1. **terminate**: Decrypt TLS at the proxy and forward plain HTTP
-2. **passthrough**: Pass encrypted TLS traffic directly to the backend
-3. **terminate-and-reencrypt**: Decrypt at proxy, then re-encrypt to backend
-
-## Certificate Storage
-
-Certificates are stored in the `./certs` directory by default:
-
-```
-./certs/
-├── route-name/
-│   ├── cert.pem
-│   ├── key.pem
-│   ├── ca.pem (if available)
-│   └── meta.json
-```
-
-## ACME Integration
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. SmartProxy creates a high-priority route for ACME challenges
-2. When ACME server makes requests to `/.well-known/acme-challenge/*`, SmartProxy handles them automatically
-3. Certificates are obtained and stored locally
-4. Automatic renewal checks every 12 hours
-
-### Configuration Options
-
-```typescript
-export interface IRouteAcme {
-  email: string;                    // Contact email for ACME account
-  useProduction?: boolean;          // Use production servers (default: false)
-  challengePort?: number;           // Port for HTTP-01 challenges (default: 80)
-  renewBeforeDays?: number;         // Days before expiry to renew (default: 30)
-}
-```
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Manual Certificate Operations
-
-```typescript
-// Get certificate status
-const status = proxy.getCertificateStatus('route-name');
-console.log(status);
-// {
-//   domain: 'example.com',
-//   status: 'valid',
-//   source: 'acme',
-//   expiryDate: Date,
-//   issueDate: Date
-// }
-
-// Force certificate renewal
-await proxy.renewCertificate('route-name');
-
-// Manually provision a certificate
-await proxy.provisionCertificate('route-name');
-```
-
-### Events
-
-SmartProxy emits certificate-related events:
-
-```typescript
-proxy.on('certificate:issued', (event) => {
-  console.log(`New certificate for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-
-proxy.on('certificate:renewed', (event) => {
-  console.log(`Certificate renewed for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-
-proxy.on('certificate:expiring', (event) => {
-  console.log(`Certificate expiring soon for ${event.domain}`);
-});
-```
-
-## Migration from Previous Versions
-
-### Before (v17 and earlier)
-
-```typescript
-// Old approach with Port80Handler
-const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
-  port: 443,
-  acme: {
-    enabled: true,
-    accountEmail: 'admin@example.com',
-    // ... other ACME options
-  }
-});
-
-// Certificate provisioning was automatic or via certProvisionFunction
-```
-
-### After (v18+)
-
-```typescript
-// New approach with route-based configuration
-const smartproxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto',
-        acme: {
-          email: 'admin@example.com',
-          useProduction: true
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-});
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Certificate not provisioning**: Ensure port 80 is accessible for ACME challenges
-2. **ACME rate limits**: Use staging environment for testing
-3. **Permission errors**: Ensure the certificate directory is writable
-
-### Debug Mode
-
-Enable detailed logging to troubleshoot certificate issues:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  enableDetailedLogging: true,
-  // ... other options
-});
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always test with staging ACME servers first**
-2. **Set up monitoring for certificate expiration**
-3. **Use meaningful route names for easier certificate management**
-4. **Store static certificates securely with appropriate permissions**
-5. **Implement certificate status monitoring in production**

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

+## 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

+### ACME/Let's Encrypt Configuration
+
+SmartProxy supports automatic certificate provisioning and renewal with Let's Encrypt. ACME can be configured globally or per-route.
+
+#### Global ACME Configuration
+Set default ACME settings for all routes with `certificate: 'auto'`:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // Global ACME configuration
+  acme: {
+    email: 'ssl@example.com',         // Required - Let's Encrypt account email
+    useProduction: false,             // Use staging (false) or production (true)
+    renewThresholdDays: 30,           // Renew certificates 30 days before expiry

+    certificateStore: './certs',      // Directory to store certificates
+    autoRenew: true,                  // Enable automatic renewal
+    renewCheckIntervalHours: 24       // Check for renewals every 24 hours
+  },
+  
+  routes: [
+    // This route will use the global ACME settings
+    {
+      name: 'website',
+      match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },

+          certificate: 'auto'  // Uses global ACME configuration
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});

+
+#### Route-Specific ACME Configuration
+Override global settings for specific routes:
+
+```typescript

+# SmartProxy Simplification Plan: Unify Action Types
+
+## Summary
+Complete removal of 'redirect', 'block', and 'static' action types, leaving only 'forward' and 'socket-handler'. All old code will be deleted entirely - no migration paths or backwards compatibility. Socket handlers will be enhanced to receive IRouteContext as a second parameter.
+
+## Goal
+Create a dramatically simpler SmartProxy with only two action types, where everything is either proxied (forward) or handled by custom code (socket-handler).
+
+## Current State
+```typescript
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block' | 'static' | 'socket-handler';
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+## Target State
+```typescript
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'socket-handler';
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+## Benefits
+1. **Simpler API** - Only two action types to understand
+2. **Unified handling** - Everything is either forwarding or custom socket handling
+3. **More flexible** - Socket handlers can do anything the old types did and more
+4. **Less code** - Remove specialized handlers and their dependencies
+5. **Context aware** - Socket handlers get access to route context (domain, port, clientIp, etc.)
+6. **Clean codebase** - No legacy code or migration paths
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Code to Remove
+
+### 1.1 Action Type Handlers
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleRedirectAction()`
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleBlockAction()`
+- `RouteConnectionHandler.handleStaticAction()`
+
+### 1.2 Handler Classes
+- `RedirectHandler` class (http-proxy/handlers/)
+- `StaticHandler` class (http-proxy/handlers/)
+
+### 1.3 Type Definitions
+- 'redirect', 'block', 'static' from TRouteActionType
+- IRouteRedirect interface
+- IRouteStatic interface
+- Related properties in IRouteAction
+
+### 1.4 Helper Functions
+- `createStaticFileRoute()`
+- Any other helpers that create redirect/block/static routes
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Create Predefined Socket Handlers
+
+### 2.1 Block Handler
+```typescript
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // ... existing handlers
+  
+  /**
+   * Block connection immediately
+   */
+  block: (message?: string) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    // Can use context for logging or custom messages
+    const finalMessage = message || `Connection blocked from ${context.clientIp}`;
+    if (finalMessage) {
+      socket.write(finalMessage);
+    }
+    socket.end();
+  },
+  
+  /**
+   * HTTP block response
+   */
+  httpBlock: (statusCode: number = 403, message?: string) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    // Can customize message based on context
+    const defaultMessage = `Access forbidden for ${context.domain || context.clientIp}`;
+    const finalMessage = message || defaultMessage;
+    
+    const response = [
+      `HTTP/1.1 ${statusCode} ${finalMessage}`,
+      'Content-Type: text/plain',
+      `Content-Length: ${finalMessage.length}`,
+      'Connection: close',
+      '',
+      finalMessage
+    ].join('\r\n');
+    
+    socket.write(response);
+    socket.end();
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2.2 Redirect Handler
+```typescript
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // ... existing handlers
+  
+  /**
+   * HTTP redirect handler
+   */
+  httpRedirect: (locationTemplate: string, statusCode: number = 301) => (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    let buffer = '';
+    
+    socket.once('data', (data) => {
+      buffer += data.toString();
+      
+      // Parse HTTP request
+      const lines = buffer.split('\r\n');
+      const requestLine = lines[0];
+      const [method, path] = requestLine.split(' ');
+      
+      // Use domain from context (more reliable than Host header)
+      const domain = context.domain || 'localhost';
+      const port = context.port;
+      
+      // Replace placeholders in location using context
+      let finalLocation = locationTemplate
+        .replace('{domain}', domain)
+        .replace('{port}', String(port))
+        .replace('{path}', path)
+        .replace('{clientIp}', context.clientIp);
+      
+      const message = `Redirecting to ${finalLocation}`;
+      const response = [
+        `HTTP/1.1 ${statusCode} ${statusCode === 301 ? 'Moved Permanently' : 'Found'}`,
+        `Location: ${finalLocation}`,
+        'Content-Type: text/plain',
+        `Content-Length: ${message.length}`,
+        'Connection: close',
+        '',
+        message
+      ].join('\r\n');
+      
+      socket.write(response);
+      socket.end();
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### 2.3 Benefits of Context in Socket Handlers
+With routeContext as a second parameter, socket handlers can:
+- Access client IP for logging or rate limiting
+- Use domain information for multi-tenant handling
+- Check if connection is TLS and what version
+- Access route name/ID for metrics
+- Build more intelligent responses based on context
+
+Example advanced handler:
+```typescript
+const rateLimitHandler = (maxRequests: number) => {
+  const ipCounts = new Map<string, number>();
+  
+  return (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+    const count = (ipCounts.get(context.clientIp) || 0) + 1;
+    ipCounts.set(context.clientIp, count);
+    
+    if (count > maxRequests) {
+      socket.write(`Rate limit exceeded for ${context.clientIp}\n`);
+      socket.end();
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // Process request...
+  };
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Update Helper Functions
+
+### 3.1 Update createHttpToHttpsRedirect
+```typescript
+export function createHttpToHttpsRedirect(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  httpsPort: number = 443,
+  options: Partial<IRouteConfig> = {}
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options.name || `HTTP to HTTPS Redirect for ${Array.isArray(domains) ? domains.join(', ') : domains}`,
+    match: {
+      ports: options.match?.ports || 80,
+      domains
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect(`https://{domain}:${httpsPort}{path}`, 301)
+    },
+    ...options
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Update createSocketHandlerRoute
+```typescript
+export function createSocketHandlerRoute(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  ports: TPortRange,
+  handler: TSocketHandler,
+  options: { name?: string; priority?: number; path?: string } = {}
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options.name || 'socket-handler-route',
+    priority: options.priority !== undefined ? options.priority : 50,
+    match: {
+      domains,
+      ports,
+      ...(options.path && { path: options.path })
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: handler
+    }
+  };
+}
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Core Implementation Changes
+
+### 4.1 Update Route Connection Handler
+```typescript
+// Remove these methods:
+// - handleRedirectAction()
+// - handleBlockAction()  
+// - handleStaticAction()
+
+// Update switch statement to only have:
+switch (route.action.type) {
+  case 'forward':
+    return this.handleForwardAction(socket, record, route, initialChunk);
+    
+  case 'socket-handler':
+    this.handleSocketHandlerAction(socket, record, route, initialChunk);
+    return;
+    
+  default:
+    logger.log('error', `Unknown action type '${(route.action as any).type}'`);
+    socket.end();
+    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, 'unknown_action');
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 Update Socket Handler to Pass Context
+```typescript
+private async handleSocketHandlerAction(
+  socket: plugins.net.Socket,
+  record: IConnectionRecord,
+  route: IRouteConfig,
+  initialChunk?: Buffer
+): Promise<void> {
+  const connectionId = record.id;
+  
+  // Create route context for the handler
+  const routeContext = this.createRouteContext({
+    connectionId: record.id,
+    port: record.localPort,
+    domain: record.lockedDomain,
+    clientIp: record.remoteIP,
+    serverIp: socket.localAddress || '',
+    isTls: record.isTLS || false,
+    tlsVersion: record.tlsVersion,
+    routeName: route.name,
+    routeId: route.id,
+  });
+  
+  try {
+    // Call the handler with socket AND context
+    const result = route.action.socketHandler(socket, routeContext);
+    
+    // Rest of implementation stays the same...
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Error handling...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4.3 Clean Up Imports and Exports
+- Remove imports of deleted handler classes
+- Update index.ts files to remove exports
+- Clean up any unused imports
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Test Updates
+
+### 5.1 Remove Old Tests
+- Delete tests for redirect action type
+- Delete tests for block action type
+- Delete tests for static action type
+
+### 5.2 Add New Socket Handler Tests
+- Test block socket handler with context
+- Test HTTP redirect socket handler with context
+- Test that context is properly passed to all handlers
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Documentation Updates
+
+### 6.1 Update README.md
+- Remove documentation for redirect, block, static action types
+- Document the two remaining action types: forward and socket-handler
+- Add examples using socket handlers with context
+
+### 6.2 Update Type Documentation
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Route action types
+ * - 'forward': Proxy the connection to a target host:port
+ * - 'socket-handler': Pass the socket to a custom handler function
+ */
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'socket-handler';
+
+/**
+ * Socket handler function
+ * @param socket - The incoming socket connection
+ * @param context - Route context with connection information
+ */
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+### 6.3 Example Documentation
+```typescript
+// Example: Block connections from specific IPs
+const ipBlocker = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+  if (context.clientIp.startsWith('192.168.')) {
+    socket.write('Internal IPs not allowed\n');
+    socket.end();
+    return;
+  }
+  // Forward to backend...
+};
+
+// Example: Domain-based routing
+const domainRouter = (socket: net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => {
+  const backend = context.domain === 'api.example.com' ? 'api-server' : 'web-server';
+  // Forward to appropriate backend...
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Update TSocketHandler type** (15 minutes)
+   - Add IRouteContext as second parameter
+   - Update type definition in route-types.ts
+
+2. **Update socket handler implementation** (30 minutes)

+   - Delete RedirectHandler and StaticHandler classes
+   - Remove imports and exports
+
+5. **Update route connection handler** (30 minutes)

+
+**Total estimated time: ~5 hours**
+
+---
+
+## Considerations
+
+### Benefits
+- **Dramatically simpler API** - Only 2 action types instead of 5
+- **Consistent handling model** - Everything is either forwarding or custom handling
+- **More powerful** - Socket handlers with context can do much more than old static types
+- **Less code to maintain** - Removing hundreds of lines of specialized handler code
+- **Better extensibility** - Easy to add new socket handlers for any use case
+- **Context awareness** - All handlers get full connection context
+
+### Trade-offs
+- Static file serving removed (users should use nginx/apache behind proxy)
+- HTTP-specific logic (redirects) now in socket handlers (but more flexible)
+- Slightly more verbose configuration for simple blocks/redirects
+
+### Why This Approach
+1. **Simplicity wins** - Two concepts are easier to understand than five
+2. **Power through context** - Socket handlers with context are more capable
+3. **Clean break** - No migration paths means cleaner code
+4. **Future proof** - Easy to add new handlers without changing core
+
+---
+
+## Code Examples: Before and After
+
+### Block Action
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+{
+  action: { type: 'block' }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.block()
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### HTTP Redirect
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'redirect',
+    redirect: {
+      to: 'https://{domain}:443{path}',
+      status: 301
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+// AFTER
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect('https://{domain}:443{path}', 301)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Handler with Context
+```typescript
+// NEW CAPABILITY - Access to full context
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: (socket, context) => {
+      console.log(`Connection from ${context.clientIp} to ${context.domain}:${context.port}`);
+      // Custom handling based on context...
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Implementation Tasks
+
+### Step 1: Update TSocketHandler Type (15 minutes)
+- [x] Open `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`
+- [x] Find line 14: `export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket) => void | Promise<void>;`
+- [x] Import IRouteContext at top of file: `import type { IRouteContext } from '../../../core/models/route-context.js';`
+- [x] Update TSocketHandler to: `export type TSocketHandler = (socket: plugins.net.Socket, context: IRouteContext) => void | Promise<void>;`
+- [x] Save file
+
+### Step 2: Update Socket Handler Implementation (30 minutes)
+- [x] Open `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts`
+- [x] Find `handleSocketHandlerAction` method (around line 790)
+- [x] Add route context creation after line 809:
+  ```typescript
+  // Create route context for the handler
+  const routeContext = this.createRouteContext({
+    connectionId: record.id,
+    port: record.localPort,
+    domain: record.lockedDomain,
+    clientIp: record.remoteIP,
+    serverIp: socket.localAddress || '',
+    isTls: record.isTLS || false,
+    tlsVersion: record.tlsVersion,
+    routeName: route.name,
+    routeId: route.id,

+# SmartProxy Module Problems
+
+Based on test analysis, the following potential issues have been identified in the SmartProxy module:
+
+## 1. HttpProxy Route Configuration Issue
+**Location**: `ts/proxies/http-proxy/http-proxy.ts:380`
+**Problem**: The HttpProxy is trying to read the 'type' property of an undefined object when updating route configurations.
+**Evidence**: `test.http-forwarding-fix.ts` fails with:
+```
+TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'type')
+    at HttpProxy.updateRouteConfigs (/mnt/data/lossless/push.rocks/smartproxy/ts/proxies/http-proxy/http-proxy.ts:380:24)
+```
+**Impact**: Routes with `useHttpProxy` configuration may not work properly.
+
+## 2. Connection Forwarding Issues
+**Problem**: Basic TCP forwarding appears to not be working correctly after the simplification to just 'forward' and 'socket-handler' action types.
+**Evidence**: Multiple forwarding tests timeout waiting for data to be forwarded:
+- `test.forwarding-fix-verification.ts` - times out waiting for forwarded data
+- `test.connection-forwarding.ts` - times out on SNI-based forwarding
+**Impact**: The 'forward' action type may not be properly forwarding connections to target servers.
+
+## 3. Missing Certificate Manager Methods
+**Problem**: Tests expect `provisionAllCertificates` method on certificate manager but it may not exist or may not be properly initialized.
+**Evidence**: Multiple tests fail with "this.certManager.provisionAllCertificates is not a function"
+**Impact**: Certificate provisioning may not work as expected.
+
+## 4. Route Update Mechanism
+**Problem**: The route update mechanism may have issues preserving certificate manager callbacks and other state.
+**Evidence**: Tests specifically designed to verify callback preservation after route updates.
+**Impact**: Dynamic route updates might break certificate management functionality.
+
+## 5. Route-Specific Security Not Fully Implemented
+**Problem**: While the route definitions support security configurations (ipAllowList, ipBlockList, authentication), these are not being enforced at the route level.
+**Evidence**: 
+- SecurityManager has methods like `isIPAuthorized` for route-specific security
+- Route connection handler only checks global IP validation, not route-specific security rules
+- No evidence of route.action.security being checked when handling connections
+**Impact**: Route-specific security rules defined in configuration are not enforced, potentially allowing unauthorized access.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Route-specific IP allow/block lists are now enforced when a route is matched. Authentication is logged as not enforceable for non-terminated connections.
+**Additional Fix**: Removed security checks from route matching logic - security is now properly enforced AFTER a route is matched, not during matching.
+
+## 6. Security Property Location Consolidation
+**Problem**: Security was defined in two places - route.security and route.action.security - causing confusion.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Consolidated to only route.security. Removed action.security from types and updated all references.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Verify Forward Action Implementation**: Check that the 'forward' action type properly establishes bidirectional data flow between client and target server. ✅ FIXED - Basic forwarding now works correctly.
+
+2. **Fix HttpProxy Route Handling**: Ensure that route objects passed to HttpProxy.updateRouteConfigs have the expected structure with all required properties. ✅ FIXED - Routes now preserve their structure.
+
+3. **Review Certificate Manager API**: Ensure all expected methods exist and are properly documented.
+
+4. **Add Integration Tests**: Many unit tests are testing internal implementation details. Consider adding more integration tests that test the public API.
+
+5. **Implement Route-Specific Security**: Add security checks when a route is matched to enforce route-specific IP allow/block lists and authentication rules. ✅ FIXED - IP allow/block lists are now enforced at the route level.
+
+6. **Fix TLS Detection Logic**: The connection handler was treating all connections as TLS. This has been partially fixed but needs proper testing for all TLS modes.
+
+## 7. HTTP Domain Matching Issue
+**Problem**: Routes with domain restrictions fail to match HTTP connections because domain information is only available after HTTP headers are received, but route matching happens immediately upon connection.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.http-port8080-forwarding.ts` - "No route found for connection on port 8080" despite having a matching route
+- HTTP connections provide domain info via the Host header, which arrives after the initial TCP connection
+- Route matching in `handleInitialData` happens before HTTP headers are parsed
+**Impact**: HTTP routes with domain restrictions cannot be matched, forcing users to remove domain restrictions for HTTP routes.
+**Root Cause**: For non-TLS connections, SmartProxy attempts to match routes immediately, but the domain information needed for matching is only available after parsing HTTP headers.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Added skipDomainCheck parameter to route matching for HTTP proxy ports. When a port is configured with useHttpProxy and the connection is not TLS, domain validation is skipped at the initial route matching stage, allowing the HttpProxy to handle domain-based routing after headers are received.
+
+## 8. HttpProxy Plain HTTP Forwarding Issue
+**Problem**: HttpProxy is an HTTPS server but SmartProxy forwards plain HTTP connections to it via `useHttpProxy` configuration.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.http-port8080-forwarding.ts` - Connection immediately closed after forwarding to HttpProxy
+- HttpProxy is created with `http2.createSecureServer` expecting TLS connections
+- SmartProxy forwards raw HTTP data to HttpProxy's HTTPS port
+**Impact**: Plain HTTP connections cannot be handled by HttpProxy, despite `useHttpProxy` configuration suggesting this should work.
+**Root Cause**: Design mismatch - HttpProxy is designed for HTTPS/TLS termination, not plain HTTP forwarding.
+**Status**: Documented. The `useHttpProxy` configuration should only be used for ports that receive TLS connections requiring termination. For plain HTTP forwarding, use direct forwarding without HttpProxy.
+
+## 9. Route Security Configuration Location Issue
+**Problem**: Tests were placing security configuration in `route.action.security` instead of `route.security`.
+**Evidence**: 
+- `test.route-security.ts` - IP block list test failing because security was in wrong location
+- IRouteConfig interface defines security at route level, not inside action
+**Impact**: Security rules defined in action.security were ignored, causing tests to fail.
+**Status**: ✅ FIXED - Updated tests to place security configuration at the correct location (route.security).

-# 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.
