-# Certificate Management in SmartProxy v19+
-
-## Overview
-
-SmartProxy v19+ enhances certificate management with support for both global and route-level ACME configuration. This guide covers the updated certificate management system, which now supports flexible configuration hierarchies.
-
-## Key Changes from Previous Versions
-
-### v19.0.0 Changes
-- **Global ACME configuration**: Set default ACME settings for all routes with `certificate: 'auto'`
-- **Configuration hierarchy**: Top-level ACME settings serve as defaults, route-level settings override
-- **Better error messages**: Clear guidance when ACME configuration is missing
-- **Improved validation**: Configuration validation warns about common issues
-
-### v18.0.0 Changes (from v17)
-- **No backward compatibility**: Clean break from the legacy certificate system
-- **No separate Port80Handler**: ACME challenges handled as regular SmartProxy routes
-- **Unified route-based configuration**: Certificates configured directly in route definitions
-- **Direct integration with @push.rocks/smartacme**: Leverages SmartAcme's built-in capabilities
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Global ACME Configuration (New in v19+)
-
-Set default ACME settings at the top level that apply to all routes with `certificate: 'auto'`:
-
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  // Global ACME defaults
-  acme: {
-    email: 'ssl@example.com',         // Required for Let's Encrypt
-    useProduction: false,             // Use staging by default
-    port: 80,                         // Port for HTTP-01 challenges
-    renewThresholdDays: 30,           // Renew 30 days before expiry
-    certificateStore: './certs',      // Certificate storage directory
-    autoRenew: true,                  // Enable automatic renewal
-    renewCheckIntervalHours: 24       // Check for renewals daily
-  },
-  
-  routes: [
-    // Routes using certificate: 'auto' will inherit global settings
-    {
-      name: 'website',
-      match: { ports: 443, domains: 'example.com' },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-        tls: {
-          mode: 'terminate',
-          certificate: 'auto'  // Uses global ACME 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
-});
-```
-
-## Dynamic Route Updates
-
-When routes are updated dynamically using `updateRoutes()`, SmartProxy maintains certificate management continuity:
-
-```typescript
-// Update routes with new domains
-await proxy.updateRoutes([
-  {
-    name: 'new-domain',
-    match: { ports: 443, domains: 'newsite.example.com' },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto'  // Will use global ACME config
-      }
-    }
-  }
-]);
-```
-
-### Important Notes on Route Updates
-
-1. **Certificate Manager Recreation**: When routes are updated, the certificate manager is recreated to reflect the new configuration
-2. **ACME Callbacks Preserved**: The ACME route update callback is automatically preserved during route updates
-3. **Existing Certificates**: Certificates already provisioned are retained in the certificate store
-4. **New Route Certificates**: New routes with `certificate: 'auto'` will trigger certificate provisioning
-
-### ACME Challenge Route Lifecycle
-
-SmartProxy v19.2.3+ implements an improved challenge route lifecycle to prevent port conflicts:
-
-1. **Single Challenge Route**: The ACME challenge route on port 80 is added once during initialization, not per certificate
-2. **Persistent During Provisioning**: The challenge route remains active throughout the entire certificate provisioning process
-3. **Concurrency Protection**: Certificate provisioning is serialized to prevent race conditions
-4. **Automatic Cleanup**: The challenge route is automatically removed when the certificate manager stops
-
-### Troubleshooting Port 80 Conflicts
-
-If you encounter "EADDRINUSE" errors on port 80:
-
-1. **Check Existing Services**: Ensure no other service is using port 80
-2. **Verify Configuration**: Confirm your ACME configuration specifies the correct port
-3. **Monitor Logs**: Check for "Challenge route already active" messages
-4. **Restart Clean**: If issues persist, restart SmartProxy to reset state
-
-### Route Update Best Practices
-
-1. **Batch Updates**: Update multiple routes in a single `updateRoutes()` call for efficiency
-2. **Monitor Certificate Status**: Check certificate status after route updates
-3. **Handle ACME Errors**: Implement error handling for certificate provisioning failures
-4. **Test Updates**: Test route updates in staging environment first
-5. **Check Port Availability**: Ensure port 80 is available before enabling ACME
-
-## 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**
-6. **Batch route updates when possible to minimize disruption**
-7. **Monitor certificate provisioning after route updates**

-# Port 80 ACME Management in SmartProxy
-
-## Overview
-
-SmartProxy correctly handles port management when both user routes and ACME challenges need to use the same port (typically port 80). This document explains how the system prevents port conflicts and EADDRINUSE errors.
-
-## Port Deduplication
-
-SmartProxy's PortManager implements automatic port deduplication:
-
-```typescript
-public async addPort(port: number): Promise<void> {
-  // Check if we're already listening on this port
-  if (this.servers.has(port)) {
-    console.log(`PortManager: Already listening on port ${port}`);
-    return;
-  }
-  
-  // Create server for this port...
-}
-```
-
-This means that when both a user route and ACME challenges are configured to use port 80, the port is only opened once and shared between both use cases.
-
-## ACME Challenge Route Flow
-
-1. **Initialization**: When SmartProxy starts and detects routes with `certificate: 'auto'`, it initializes the certificate manager
-2. **Challenge Route Creation**: The certificate manager creates a special challenge route on the configured ACME port (default 80)
-3. **Route Update**: The challenge route is added via `updateRoutes()`, which triggers port allocation
-4. **Deduplication**: If port 80 is already in use by a user route, the PortManager's deduplication prevents double allocation
-5. **Shared Access**: Both user routes and ACME challenges share the same port listener
-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-### Shared Port (Recommended)
-
-```typescript
-const settings = {
-  routes: [
-    {
-      name: 'web-traffic',
-      match: {
-        ports: [80]
-      },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        targetUrl: 'http://localhost:3000'
-      }
-    },
-    {
-      name: 'secure-traffic',
-      match: {
-        ports: [443]
-      },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        targetUrl: 'https://localhost:3001',
-        tls: {
-          mode: 'terminate',
-          certificate: 'auto'
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  ],
-  acme: {
-    email: 'your-email@example.com',
-    port: 80  // Same as user route - this is safe!
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Separate ACME Port
-
-```typescript
-const settings = {
-  routes: [
-    {
-      name: 'web-traffic',
-      match: {
-        ports: [80]
-      },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        targetUrl: 'http://localhost:3000'
-      }
-    }
-  ],
-  acme: {
-    email: 'your-email@example.com',
-    port: 8080  // Different port for ACME challenges
-  }
-};
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use Default Port 80**: Let ACME use port 80 (the default) even if you have user routes on that port
-2. **Priority Routing**: ACME challenge routes have high priority (1000) to ensure they take precedence
-3. **Path-Based Routing**: ACME routes only match `/.well-known/acme-challenge/*` paths, avoiding conflicts
-4. **Automatic Cleanup**: Challenge routes are automatically removed when not needed
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### EADDRINUSE Errors
-
-If you see EADDRINUSE errors, check:
-
-1. Is another process using the port?
-2. Are you running multiple SmartProxy instances?
-3. Is the previous instance still shutting down?
-
-### Certificate Provisioning Issues
-
-1. Ensure the ACME port is accessible from the internet
-2. Check that DNS is properly configured for your domains
-3. Verify email configuration in ACME settings
-
-## Technical Details
-
-The port deduplication is handled at multiple levels:
-
-1. **PortManager Level**: Checks if port is already active before creating new listener
-2. **RouteManager Level**: Tracks which ports are needed and updates accordingly
-3. **Certificate Manager Level**: Adds challenge route only when needed
-
-This multi-level approach ensures robust port management without conflicts.

-# 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.

-## Overview
+## Implementation Plan: Socket Handler Function Support (Simplified) ✅ COMPLETED
 
-Refactor the proxy architecture to provide clearer separation of concerns between HTTP/HTTPS traffic handling and low-level connection routing.
+### Overview
+Add support for custom socket handler functions with the simplest possible API - just pass a function that receives the socket.
 
-## Current Architecture Problems
+### User Experience Goal
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [{
+    name: 'my-custom-protocol',
+    match: { ports: 9000, domains: 'custom.example.com' },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: (socket) => {
+        // User has full control of the socket
+        socket.write('Welcome!\n');
+        socket.on('data', (data) => {
+          socket.write(`Echo: ${data}`);
+        });
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+});
+```
 
-1. NetworkProxy name doesn't clearly indicate it handles HTTP/HTTPS
-2. HTTP parsing logic is duplicated in RouteConnectionHandler
-3. Redirect and static route handling is embedded in SmartProxy
-4. Unclear separation between TCP routing and HTTP processing
+That's it. Simple and powerful.
 
-## Proposed Architecture
+---
 
-### HttpProxy (renamed from NetworkProxy)
-**Purpose**: Handle all HTTP/HTTPS traffic with TLS termination
+## Phase 1: Minimal Type Changes
 
-**Responsibilities**:
-- TLS termination for HTTPS
-- HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocol handling
-- HTTP request/response parsing
-- HTTP to HTTPS redirects
-- ACME challenge handling
-- Static route handlers
-- WebSocket protocol upgrades
-- Connection pooling for backend servers
-- Certificate management (ACME and static)
+### 1.1 Add Socket Handler Action Type
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts`
 
-### SmartProxy
-**Purpose**: Low-level connection router and port manager
+```typescript
+// Update action type
+export type TRouteActionType = 'forward' | 'redirect' | 'block' | 'static' | 'socket-handler';
 
-**Responsibilities**:
-- Port management (listen on multiple ports)
-- Route-based connection routing
-- TLS passthrough (SNI-based routing)
-- NFTables integration
-- Delegate HTTP/HTTPS connections to HttpProxy
-- Raw TCP proxying
-- Connection lifecycle management
+// Add simple socket handler type
+export type TSocketHandler = (socket: net.Socket) => void | Promise<void>;
 
-## Implementation Plan
+// Extend IRouteAction
+export interface IRouteAction {
+  // ... existing properties
+  
+  // Socket handler function (when type is 'socket-handler')
+  socketHandler?: TSocketHandler;
+}
+```
 
-### Phase 1: Rename and Reorganize NetworkProxy ✅
+---
 
-1. **Rename NetworkProxy to HttpProxy**
-   - Renamed directory from `network-proxy` to `http-proxy`
-   - Updated all imports and references
+## Phase 2: Simple Implementation
 
-2. **Update class and file names**
-   - Renamed `network-proxy.ts` to `http-proxy.ts`
-   - Updated `NetworkProxy` class to `HttpProxy` class
-   - Updated all type definitions and interfaces
+### 2.1 Update Route Connection Handler
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts`
 
-3. **Update exports**
-   - Updated exports in `ts/index.ts`
-   - Fixed imports across the codebase
+In the `handleConnection` method, add handling for socket-handler:
 
-### Phase 2: Extract HTTP Logic from SmartProxy ✅
+```typescript
+// After route matching...
+if (matchedRoute) {
+  const action = matchedRoute.action;
+  
+  if (action.type === 'socket-handler') {
+    if (!action.socketHandler) {
+      logger.error('socket-handler action missing socketHandler function');
+      socket.destroy();
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    try {
+      // Simply call the handler with the socket
+      const result = action.socketHandler(socket);
+      
+      // If it returns a promise, handle errors
+      if (result instanceof Promise) {
+        result.catch(error => {
+          logger.error('Socket handler error:', error);
+          if (!socket.destroyed) {
+            socket.destroy();
+          }
+        });
+      }
+    } catch (error) {
+      logger.error('Socket handler error:', error);
+      if (!socket.destroyed) {
+        socket.destroy();
+      }
+    }
+    
+    return; // Done - user has control now
+  }
+  
+  // ... rest of existing action handling
+}
+```
 
-1. **Create HTTP handler modules in HttpProxy**
-   - Created handlers directory with:
-     - `redirect-handler.ts` - HTTP redirect logic
-     - `static-handler.ts` - Static/ACME route handling
-     - `index.ts` - Module exports
+---
 
-2. **Move HTTP parsing from RouteConnectionHandler**
-   - Updated `handleRedirectAction` to delegate to `RedirectHandler`
-   - Updated `handleStaticAction` to delegate to `StaticHandler`
-   - Removed duplicated HTTP parsing logic
+## Phase 3: Optional Context (If Needed)
 
-3. **Clean up references and naming**
-   - Updated all NetworkProxy references to HttpProxy
-   - Renamed config properties: `useNetworkProxy` → `useHttpProxy`
-   - Renamed config properties: `networkProxyPort` → `httpProxyPort`
-   - Fixed HttpProxyBridge methods and references
+If users need more info, we can optionally pass a minimal context as a second parameter:
 
-### Phase 3: Simplify SmartProxy
+```typescript
+export type TSocketHandler = (
+  socket: net.Socket, 
+  context?: {
+    route: IRouteConfig;
+    clientIp: string;
+    localPort: number;
+  }
+) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
 
-1. **Update RouteConnectionHandler**
-   - Remove embedded HTTP parsing
-   - Delegate HTTP routes to HttpProxy
-   - Focus on connection routing only
+Usage:
+```typescript
+socketHandler: (socket, context) => {
+  console.log(`Connection from ${context.clientIp} to port ${context.localPort}`);
+  // Handle socket...
+}
+```
 
-2. **Simplified route handling**
-   ```typescript
-   // Simplified handleRedirectAction
-   private handleRedirectAction(socket, record, route) {
-     // Delegate to HttpProxy
-     this.httpProxy.handleRedirect(socket, route);
-   }
-   
-   // Simplified handleStaticAction
-   private handleStaticAction(socket, record, route) {
-     // Delegate to HttpProxy
-     this.httpProxy.handleStatic(socket, route);
-   }
-   ```
+---
 
-3. **Update NetworkProxyBridge**
-   - Rename to HttpProxyBridge
-   - Update integration points
+## Phase 4: Helper Utilities (Optional)
 
-### Phase 4: Consolidate HTTP Utilities ✅
+### 4.1 Common Patterns
+**File:** `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts`
 
-1. **Move HTTP types to http-proxy**
-   - Created consolidated `http-types.ts` in `ts/proxies/http-proxy/models/`
-   - Includes HTTP status codes, error classes, and interfaces
-   - Added helper functions like `getStatusText()`
+```typescript
+// Simple helper to create socket handler routes
+export function createSocketHandlerRoute(
+  domains: string | string[],
+  ports: TPortRange,
+  handler: TSocketHandler,
+  options?: { name?: string; priority?: number }
+): IRouteConfig {
+  return {
+    name: options?.name || 'socket-handler-route',
+    priority: options?.priority || 50,
+    match: { domains, ports },
+    action: {
+      type: 'socket-handler',
+      socketHandler: handler
+    }
+  };
+}
 
-2. **Clean up ts/http directory**
-   - Kept only router functionality
-   - Replaced local HTTP types with re-exports from HttpProxy
-   - Updated imports throughout the codebase to use consolidated types
+// Pre-built handlers for common cases
+export const SocketHandlers = {
+  // Simple echo server
+  echo: (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    socket.on('data', data => socket.write(data));
+  },
+  
+  // TCP proxy
+  proxy: (targetHost: string, targetPort: number) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    const target = net.connect(targetPort, targetHost);
+    socket.pipe(target);
+    target.pipe(socket);
+    socket.on('close', () => target.destroy());
+    target.on('close', () => socket.destroy());
+  },
+  
+  // Line-based protocol
+  lineProtocol: (handler: (line: string, socket: net.Socket) => void) => (socket: net.Socket) => {
+    let buffer = '';
+    socket.on('data', (data) => {
+      buffer += data.toString();
+      const lines = buffer.split('\n');
+      buffer = lines.pop() || '';
+      lines.forEach(line => handler(line, socket));
+    });
+  }
+};
+```
 
-### Phase 5: Update Tests and Documentation ✅
+---
 
-1. **Update test files**
-   - Renamed NetworkProxy references to HttpProxy
-   - Renamed test files to match new naming
-   - Updated imports and references throughout tests
-   - Fixed certificate manager method names
+## Usage Examples
 
-2. **Update documentation**
-   - Updated README to reflect HttpProxy naming
-   - Updated architecture descriptions
-   - Updated usage examples
-   - Fixed all API documentation references
+### Example 1: Custom Protocol
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-protocol',
+  match: { ports: 9000 },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: (socket) => {
+      socket.write('READY\n');
+      socket.on('data', (data) => {
+        const cmd = data.toString().trim();
+        if (cmd === 'PING') socket.write('PONG\n');
+        else if (cmd === 'QUIT') socket.end();
+        else socket.write('ERROR: Unknown command\n');
+      });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-## Migration Steps
+### Example 2: Simple TCP Proxy
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'tcp-proxy',
+  match: { ports: 8080, domains: 'proxy.example.com' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.proxy('backend.local', 3000)
+  }
+}
+```
 
-1. Create feature branch: `refactor/http-proxy-consolidation`

-3. Phase 2: Extract HTTP logic (2 days)
-4. Phase 3: Simplify SmartProxy (1 day)
-5. Phase 4: Consolidate utilities (1 day)
-6. Phase 5: Update tests/docs (1 day)
-7. Integration testing (1 day)
-8. Code review and merge
+### Example 3: WebSocket with Custom Auth
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'custom-websocket',
+  match: { ports: [80, 443], path: '/ws' },
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: async (socket) => {
+      // Read HTTP headers
+      const headers = await readHttpHeaders(socket);
+      
+      // Custom auth check
+      if (!headers.authorization || !validateToken(headers.authorization)) {
+        socket.write('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\r\n\r\n');
+        socket.end();
+        return;
+      }
+      
+      // Proceed with WebSocket upgrade
+      const ws = new WebSocket(socket, headers);
+      // ... handle WebSocket
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-## Benefits
+---
 
-1. **Clear Separation**: HTTP/HTTPS handling is clearly separated from TCP routing
-2. **Better Naming**: HttpProxy clearly indicates its purpose
-3. **No Duplication**: HTTP parsing logic exists in one place
-4. **Maintainability**: Easier to modify HTTP handling without affecting routing
-5. **Testability**: Each component has a single responsibility
-6. **Performance**: Optimized paths for different traffic types
+## Benefits of This Approach
 
-## Future Enhancements
+1. **Dead Simple API**: Just pass a function that gets the socket
+2. **No New Classes**: No ForwardingHandler subclass needed
+3. **Minimal Changes**: Only touches type definitions and one handler method
+4. **Full Power**: Users have complete control over the socket
+5. **Backward Compatible**: No changes to existing functionality
+6. **Easy to Test**: Just test the socket handler functions directly
 
-After this refactoring, we can more easily add:
+---
 
-1. HTTP/3 (QUIC) support in HttpProxy
-2. Advanced HTTP features (compression, caching)
-3. HTTP middleware system
-4. Protocol-specific optimizations
-5. Better HTTP/2 multiplexing
+## Implementation Steps
 
-## Breaking Changes
+1. Add `'socket-handler'` to `TRouteActionType` (5 minutes)
+2. Add `socketHandler?: TSocketHandler` to `IRouteAction` (5 minutes)
+3. Add socket-handler case in `RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()` (15 minutes)
+4. Add helper functions (optional, 30 minutes)
+5. Write tests (2 hours)
+6. Update documentation (1 hour)
 
-1. `NetworkProxy` class renamed to `HttpProxy`
-2. Import paths change from `network-proxy` to `http-proxy`
-3. Some type names may change for consistency
+**Total implementation time: ~4 hours** (vs 6 weeks for the complex version)
 
-## Rollback Plan
+---
 
-If issues arise:
-1. Git revert to previous commit
-2. Re-deploy previous version
-3. Document lessons learned
-4. Plan incremental changes
+## What We're NOT Doing
+
+- ❌ Creating new ForwardingHandler classes
+- ❌ Complex context objects with utils
+- ❌ HTTP request handling for socket handlers
+- ❌ Complex protocol detection mechanisms
+- ❌ Middleware patterns
+- ❌ Lifecycle hooks
+
+Keep it simple. The user just wants to handle a socket.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Users can define a route with `type: 'socket-handler'`
+- ✅ Users can provide a function that receives the socket
+- ✅ The function is called when a connection matches the route
+- ✅ Error handling prevents crashes
+- ✅ No performance impact on existing routes
+- ✅ Clean, simple API that's easy to understand
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Notes (Completed)
+
+### What Was Implemented
+1. **Type Definitions** - Added 'socket-handler' to TRouteActionType and TSocketHandler type
+2. **Route Handler** - Added socket-handler case in RouteConnectionHandler switch statement  
+3. **Error Handling** - Both sync and async errors are caught and logged
+4. **Initial Data Handling** - Initial chunks are re-emitted to handler's listeners
+5. **Helper Functions** - Added createSocketHandlerRoute and pre-built handlers (echo, proxy, etc.)
+6. **Full Test Coverage** - All test cases pass including async handlers and error handling
+
+### Key Implementation Details
+- Socket handlers require initial data from client to trigger routing (not TLS handshake)
+- The handler receives the raw socket after route matching
+- Both sync and async handlers are supported  
+- Errors in handlers terminate the connection gracefully
+- Helper utilities provide common patterns (echo server, TCP proxy, line protocol)
+
+### Usage Notes
+- Clients must send initial data to trigger the handler (even just a newline)
+- The socket is passed directly to the handler function
+- Handler has complete control over the socket lifecycle
+- No special context object needed - keeps it simple
+
+**Total implementation time: ~3 hours**

+# 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...
+};
+```
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 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...
+    }

+      ].join('\r\n');
+      
+      socket.write(response);
+      socket.end();
+    });
+  }
+  ```
+- [x] Save file
+
+### Step 9: Update Helper Functions (20 minutes)
+- [x] Still in `route-helpers.ts`
+- [x] Update `createHttpToHttpsRedirect` function (around line 109):
+  - Change the action to use socket handler:
+  ```typescript
+  action: {
+    type: 'socket-handler',
+    socketHandler: SocketHandlers.httpRedirect(`https://{domain}:${httpsPort}{path}`, 301)
+  }
+  ```
+- [x] Delete entire `createStaticFileRoute` function (lines 277-322)
+- [x] Save file
+
+### Step 10: Update Test Files (1.5 hours)
+#### 10.1 Update Socket Handler Tests
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler.ts`
+- [x] Update all handler functions to accept context parameter
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler.simple.ts`
+- [x] Update handler to accept context parameter
+- [x] Open `test/test.socket-handler-race.ts`
+- [x] Update handler to accept context parameter
+
+#### 10.2 Find and Update/Delete Redirect Tests
+- [x] Search for files containing `type: 'redirect'` in test directory
+- [x] For each file:
+  - [x] If it's a redirect-specific test, delete the file
+  - [x] If it's a mixed test, update redirect actions to use socket handlers
+- [x] Files to check:
+  - [x] `test/test.route-redirects.ts` - deleted entire file
+  - [x] `test/test.forwarding.ts` - update any redirect tests
+  - [x] `test/test.forwarding.examples.ts` - update any redirect tests
+  - [x] `test/test.route-config.ts` - update any redirect tests
+
+#### 10.3 Find and Update/Delete Block Tests  
+- [x] Search for files containing `type: 'block'` in test directory
+- [x] Update or delete as appropriate
+
+#### 10.4 Find and Delete Static Tests
+- [x] Search for files containing `type: 'static'` in test directory
+- [x] Delete static-specific test files
+- [x] Remove static tests from mixed test files
+
+### Step 11: Clean Up Imports and Exports (20 minutes)
+- [x] Open `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/index.ts`
+- [x] Ensure route-helpers.ts is exported
+- [x] Remove any exports of deleted functions
+- [x] Open `ts/index.ts`
+- [x] Remove any exports of deleted types/interfaces
+- [x] Search for any remaining imports of RedirectHandler or StaticHandler
+- [x] Remove any found imports
+
+### Step 12: Documentation Updates (30 minutes)
+- [x] Update README.md:
+  - [x] Remove any mention of redirect, block, static action types
+  - [x] Add examples of socket handlers with context
+  - [x] Document the two action types: forward and socket-handler
+- [x] Update any JSDoc comments in modified files
+- [x] Add examples showing context usage
+
+### Step 13: Final Verification (15 minutes)
+- [x] Run build: `pnpm build`
+- [x] Fix any compilation errors
+- [x] Run tests: `pnpm test`
+- [x] Fix any failing tests
+- [x] Search codebase for any remaining references to:
+  - [x] 'redirect' action type
+  - [x] 'block' action type
+  - [x] 'static' action type
+  - [x] RedirectHandler
+  - [x] StaticHandler
+  - [x] IRouteRedirect
+  - [x] IRouteStatic
+
+### Step 14: Test New Functionality (30 minutes)
+- [x] Create test for block socket handler with context
+- [x] Create test for httpBlock socket handler with context
+- [x] Create test for httpRedirect socket handler with context
+- [x] Verify context is properly passed in all scenarios
+

+## Files to be Modified/Deleted
+
+### Files to Modify:
+1. `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/models/route-types.ts` - Update types
+2. `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts` - Remove handlers, update switch
+3. `ts/proxies/smart-proxy/utils/route-helpers.ts` - Update handlers, add new ones
+4. `ts/proxies/http-proxy/handlers/index.ts` - Remove exports
+5. Various test files - Update to use socket handlers
+
+### Files to Delete:
+1. `ts/proxies/http-proxy/handlers/redirect-handler.ts`
+2. `ts/proxies/http-proxy/handlers/static-handler.ts`
+3. `test/test.route-redirects.ts` (likely)
+4. Any static-specific test files
+
+### Test Files Requiring Updates (15 files found):
+- test/test.acme-http01-challenge.ts
+- test/test.logger-error-handling.ts
+- test/test.port80-management.node.ts
+- test/test.route-update-callback.node.ts
+- test/test.acme-state-manager.node.ts
+- test/test.acme-route-creation.ts
+- test/test.forwarding.ts
+- test/test.route-redirects.ts
+- test/test.forwarding.examples.ts
+- test/test.acme-simple.ts
+- test/test.acme-http-challenge.ts
+- test/test.certificate-provisioning.ts
+- test/test.route-config.ts
+- test/test.route-utils.ts
+- test/test.certificate-simple.ts
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+- ✅ Only 'forward' and 'socket-handler' action types remain
+- ✅ Socket handlers receive IRouteContext as second parameter
+- ✅ All old handler code completely removed
+- ✅ Redirect functionality works via context-aware socket handlers
+- ✅ Block functionality works via context-aware socket handlers  
+- ✅ All tests updated and passing
+- ✅ Documentation updated with new examples
+- ✅ No performance regression
+- ✅ Cleaner, simpler codebase
