21.1.5

- Created ts/detection module for unified protocol detection
- Implemented TLS and HTTP detectors with fragmentation support
- Moved TLS detection logic from existing code to centralized module
- Updated RouteConnectionHandler to use ProtocolDetector for both TLS and HTTP
- Refactored ACME HTTP parsing to use detection module
- Added comprehensive tests for detection functionality
- Eliminated duplicate protocol detection code across codebase

This centralizes all non-destructive protocol detection into a single module,
improving code organization and reducing duplication between ACME and routing.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-08-19 - 21.1.5 - fix(core)
+Prepare patch release: documentation, tests and stability fixes (metrics, ACME, connection cleanup)
+
+- Byte counting and throughput: per-route and per-IP throughput trackers with per-second sampling; removed double-counting and improved sampling buffers for accurate rates
+- HttpProxy and forwarding: Ensure metricsCollector.recordBytes() is called in forwarding paths so throughput is recorded reliably
+- ACME / Certificate Manager: support for custom certProvisionFunction with configurable fallback to ACME (http01) and improved challenge route lifecycle
+- Connection lifecycle and cleanup: improved lifecycle component timer/listener cleanup, better cleanup queue batching and zombie/half-zombie detection
+- Various utilities and stability improvements: enhanced IP utils, path/domain matching improvements, safer socket handling and more robust fragment/ClientHello handling
+- Tests and docs: many test files and readme.hints.md updated with byte-counting audit, connection cleanup and ACME guidance
+
+## 2025-08-14 - 21.1.4 - fix(security)
+Critical security and stability fixes
+
+- Fixed critical socket.emit override vulnerability that was breaking TLS connections
+- Implemented comprehensive socket cleanup with new socket tracker utility
+- Improved code organization by extracting RouteOrchestrator from SmartProxy
+- Fixed IPv6 loopback detection for proper IPv6 support
+- Added memory bounds to prevent unbounded collection growth
+- Fixed certificate manager race conditions with proper synchronization
+- Unreferenced long-lived timers to prevent process hanging

+- Restored proper TLS detector implementation with ClientHello parsing
+- Fixed imports to use new protocols module locations
+- Added missing detectWithContext method for fragmented detection
+- Fixed method names to match BufferAccumulator interface
+- Removed unused import readUInt24BE
+
+## 2025-07-21 - 21.1.0 - feat(protocols)
+Refactor protocol utilities into centralized protocols module
+
+- Moved TLS utilities from `ts/tls/` to `ts/protocols/tls/`
+- Created centralized protocol modules for HTTP, WebSocket, Proxy, and TLS
+- Core utilities now delegate to protocol modules for parsing and utilities
+- Maintains backward compatibility through re-exports in original locations
+- Improves code organization and separation of concerns
+
+## 2025-07-22 - 21.0.0 - BREAKING_CHANGE(forwarding)
+Remove legacy forwarding module
+
+- Removed the `forwarding` namespace export from main index
+- Removed TForwardingType and all forwarding handlers
+- Consolidated route helper functions into route-helpers.ts
+- All functionality is now available through the route-based system
+- MIGRATION: Replace `import { forwarding } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy'` with direct imports of route helpers
+
+## 2025-07-21 - 20.0.2 - fix(docs)
+Update documentation to improve clarity
+
+- Enhanced readme with clearer breaking change warning for v20.0.0
+- Fixed example email address from ssl@bleu.de to ssl@example.com
+- Added load balancing and failover features to feature list
+- Improved documentation structure and examples
+
+## 2025-07-20 - 20.0.1 - BREAKING_CHANGE(routing)

+
+- Enhanced cleanup logic to prevent connection accumulation under rapid retry scenarios
+- Improved matching for wildcard domains and path parameters in the route configuration
+- Minor refactoring in async utilities and internal socket handling for better performance
+- Updated test suites and documentation for clearer configuration examples
+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.3 - fix(smartproxy)
+Fix route security configuration location and improve ACME timing tests and socket mock implementations
+
+- Move route security from action.security to the top-level route.security to correctly enforce IP allow/block lists (addresses failing in test.route-security.ts)
+- Update readme.problems.md to document the routing security configuration issue with proper instructions
+- Adjust certificate metadata in certs/static-route/meta.json with updated timestamps
+- Update test.acme-timing.ts to export default tap.start() instead of tap.start() to ensure proper parsing
+- Improve socket simulation and event handling mocks in test.http-fix-verification.ts and test.http-forwarding-fix.ts to more reliably mimic net.Socket behavior
+- Minor adjustments in multiple test files to ensure proper port binding, race condition handling and route lookups (e.g. getRoutesForPort implementation)
+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.2 - fix(test)
+Fix ACME challenge route creation and HTTP request parsing in tests
+
+- Replaced the legacy ACME email 'test@example.com' with 'test@acmetest.local' to avoid forbidden domain issues.
+- Mocked the CertificateManager in test/test.acme-route-creation to simulate immediate ACME challenge route addition.
+- Adjusted updateRoutes callback to capture and verify challenge route creation.
+- Enhanced the HTTP request parsing in socket handler by capturing and asserting parsed request details (method, path, headers).
+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.1 - fix(socket-handler)
+Fix socket handler race condition by differentiating between async and sync handlers. Now, async socket handlers complete their setup before initial data is emitted, ensuring that no data is lost. Documentation and tests have been updated to reflect this change.
+
+- Added detailed explanation in readme.hints.md about the race condition issue, root cause, and solution implementation.
+- Provided a code snippet that checks if the socket handler returns a Promise and waits for its resolution before emitting initial data.
+- Updated tests (test.socket-handler-race.ts, test.socket-handler.simple.ts, test.socket-handler.ts) to verify correct behavior of async handlers.
+
+## 2025-05-28 - 19.5.0 - feat(socket-handler)
+Add socket-handler support for custom socket handling in SmartProxy
+
+- Introduce new action type 'socket-handler' in IRouteAction to allow users to provide a custom socket handler function.
+- Update the RouteConnectionHandler to detect 'socket-handler' actions and invoke the handler with the raw socket, giving full control to the user.
+- Provide optional context (such as route configuration, client IP, and port) to the socket handler if needed.
+- Add helper functions in route-helpers for creating socket handler routes and common patterns like echo, proxy, and line-based protocols.
+- Include a detailed implementation plan and usage examples in readme.plan.md.
+
 ## 2025-05-28 - 19.4.3 - fix(smartproxy)
 Improve port binding intelligence and ACME challenge route management; update route configuration tests and dependency versions.

+# SmartProxy Byte Counting Audit Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After a comprehensive audit of the SmartProxy codebase, I can confirm that **byte counting is implemented correctly** with no instances of double counting. Each byte transferred through the proxy is counted exactly once in each direction.
+
+## Byte Counting Implementation
+
+### 1. Core Tracking Mechanisms
+
+SmartProxy uses two complementary tracking systems:
+
+1. **Connection Records** (`IConnectionRecord`):
+   - `bytesReceived`: Total bytes received from client
+   - `bytesSent`: Total bytes sent to client
+
+2. **MetricsCollector**:
+   - Global throughput tracking via `ThroughputTracker`
+   - Per-connection byte tracking for route/IP metrics
+   - Called via `recordBytes(connectionId, bytesIn, bytesOut)`
+
+### 2. Where Bytes Are Counted
+
+Bytes are counted in only two files:
+
+#### a) `route-connection-handler.ts`
+- **Line 351**: TLS alert bytes when no SNI is provided
+- **Lines 1286-1301**: Data forwarding callbacks in `setupBidirectionalForwarding()`
+
+#### b) `http-proxy-bridge.ts`  
+- **Line 127**: Initial TLS chunk for HttpProxy connections
+- **Lines 142-154**: Data forwarding callbacks in `setupBidirectionalForwarding()`
+
+## Connection Flow Analysis
+
+### 1. Direct TCP Connection (No TLS)
+
+```
+Client → SmartProxy → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection arrives at `RouteConnectionHandler.handleConnection()`
+2. For non-TLS ports, immediately routes via `routeConnection()`
+3. `setupDirectConnection()` creates target connection
+4. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` handles all data transfer:
+   - `onClientData`: `bytesReceived += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(chunk.length, 0)`
+   - `onServerData`: `bytesSent += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(0, chunk.length)`
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 2. TLS Passthrough Connection
+
+```
+Client (TLS) → SmartProxy → Target Server (TLS)
+```
+
+1. Connection waits for initial data to detect TLS
+2. TLS handshake detected, SNI extracted
+3. Route matched, `setupDirectConnection()` called
+4. Initial chunk stored in `pendingData` (NOT counted yet)
+5. On target connect, `pendingData` written to target (still not counted)
+6. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` counts ALL bytes including initial chunk
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 3. TLS Termination via HttpProxy
+
+```
+Client (TLS) → SmartProxy → HttpProxy (localhost) → Target Server
+```
+
+1. TLS connection detected with `tls.mode = "terminate"`
+2. `forwardToHttpProxy()` called:
+   - Initial chunk: `bytesReceived += chunk.length` + `recordBytes(chunk.length, 0)`
+3. Proxy connection created to HttpProxy on localhost
+4. `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` handles subsequent data
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 4. HTTP Connection via HttpProxy
+
+```
+Client (HTTP) → SmartProxy → HttpProxy (localhost) → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection on configured HTTP port (`useHttpProxy` ports)
+2. Same flow as TLS termination
+3. All byte counting identical to TLS termination
+
+**Result**: ✅ Each byte counted exactly once
+
+### 5. NFTables Forwarding
+
+```
+Client → [Kernel NFTables] → Target Server
+```
+
+1. Connection detected, route matched with `forwardingEngine: 'nftables'`
+2. Connection marked as `usingNetworkProxy = true`
+3. NO application-level forwarding (kernel handles packet routing)
+4. NO byte counting in application layer
+
+**Result**: ✅ No counting (correct - kernel handles everything)
+
+## Special Cases
+
+### PROXY Protocol
+- PROXY protocol headers sent to backend servers are NOT counted in client metrics
+- Only actual client data is counted
+- **Correct behavior**: Protocol overhead is not client data
+
+### TLS Alerts
+- TLS alerts (e.g., for missing SNI) are counted as sent bytes
+- **Correct behavior**: Alerts are actual data sent to the client
+
+### Initial Chunks
+- **Direct connections**: Stored in `pendingData`, counted when forwarded
+- **HttpProxy connections**: Counted immediately upon receipt
+- **Both approaches**: Count each byte exactly once
+
+## Verification Methodology
+
+1. **Code Analysis**: Searched for all instances of:
+   - `bytesReceived +=` and `bytesSent +=`
+   - `recordBytes()` calls
+   - Data forwarding implementations
+
+2. **Flow Tracing**: Followed data path for each connection type from entry to exit
+
+3. **Handler Review**: Examined all forwarding handlers to ensure no additional counting
+
+## Findings
+
+### ✅ No Double Counting Detected
+
+- Each byte is counted exactly once in the direction it flows
+- Connection records and metrics are updated consistently
+- No overlapping or duplicate counting logic found
+
+### Areas of Excellence
+
+1. **Centralized Counting**: All byte counting happens in just two files
+2. **Consistent Pattern**: Uses `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` with callbacks
+3. **Clear Separation**: Forwarding handlers don't interfere with proxy metrics
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Debug Logging**: Add optional debug logging to verify byte counts in production:
+   ```typescript
+   if (settings.debugByteCount) {
+     logger.log('debug', `Bytes counted: ${connectionId} +${bytes} (total: ${record.bytesReceived})`);
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Unit Tests**: Create specific tests to ensure byte counting accuracy:
+   - Test initial chunk handling
+   - Test PROXY protocol overhead exclusion
+   - Test HttpProxy forwarding accuracy
+
+3. **Protocol Overhead Tracking**: Consider separately tracking:
+   - PROXY protocol headers
+   - TLS handshake bytes
+   - HTTP headers vs body
+
+4. **NFTables Documentation**: Clearly document that NFTables-forwarded connections are not included in application metrics
+
+## Conclusion
+
+SmartProxy's byte counting implementation is **robust and accurate**. The design ensures that each byte is counted exactly once, with clear separation between connection tracking and metrics collection. No remediation is required.

-# SmartProxy Project Hints
+# SmartProxy Development Hints
 
-## Project Overview
+## Byte Tracking and Metrics
-- Package: `@push.rocks/smartproxy` – high-performance proxy supporting HTTP(S), TCP, WebSocket, and ACME integration.
-- Written in TypeScript, compiled output in `dist_ts/`, uses ESM with NodeNext resolution.
 
-## Important: ACME Configuration in v19.0.0
+### Throughput Drift Issue (Fixed)
-- **Breaking Change**: ACME configuration must be placed within individual route TLS settings, not at the top level
-- Route-level ACME config is the ONLY way to enable SmartAcme initialization
-- SmartCertManager requires email in route config for certificate acquisition
-- Top-level ACME configuration is ignored in v19.0.0
 
-## Repository Structure
+**Problem**: Throughput numbers were gradually increasing over time for long-lived connections.
-- `ts/` – TypeScript source files:
-  - `index.ts` exports main modules.
-  - `plugins.ts` centralizes native and third-party imports.
-  - Subdirectories: `networkproxy/`, `nftablesproxy/`, `port80handler/`, `redirect/`, `smartproxy/`.
-  - Key classes: `ProxyRouter` (`classes.router.ts`), `SmartProxy` (`classes.smartproxy.ts`), plus handlers/managers.
-- `dist_ts/` – transpiled `.js` and `.d.ts` files mirroring `ts/` structure.
-- `test/` – test suites in TypeScript:
-  - `test.router.ts` – routing logic (hostname matching, wildcards, path parameters, config management).
-  - `test.smartproxy.ts` – proxy behavior tests (TCP forwarding, SNI handling, concurrency, chaining, timeouts).
-  - `test/helpers/` – utilities (e.g., certificates).
-- `assets/certs/` – placeholder certificates for ACME and TLS.
 
-## Development Setup
+**Root Cause**: The `byRoute()` and `byIP()` methods were dividing cumulative total bytes (since connection start) by the window duration, causing rates to appear higher as connections aged:
-- Requires `pnpm` (v10+).
+- Hour 1: 1GB total / 60s = 17 MB/s ✓
-- Install dependencies: `pnpm install`.
+- Hour 2: 2GB total / 60s = 34 MB/s ✗ (appears doubled!)
-- Build: `pnpm build` (runs `tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany`).
+- Hour 3: 3GB total / 60s = 50 MB/s ✗ (keeps rising!)
-- Test: `pnpm test` (runs `tstest test/`).
-- Format: `pnpm format` (runs `gitzone format`).
 
-## Testing Framework
+**Solution**: Implemented dedicated ThroughputTracker instances for each route and IP address:
-- Uses `@push.rocks/tapbundle` (`tap`, `expect`, `expactAsync`).
+- Each route and IP gets its own throughput tracker with per-second sampling
-- Test files: must start with `test.` and use `.ts` extension.
+- Samples are taken every second and stored in a circular buffer
-- Run specific tests via `tsx`, e.g., `tsx test/test.router.ts`.
+- Rate calculations use actual samples within the requested window
+- Default window is now 1 second for real-time accuracy
 
-## Coding Conventions
+### What Gets Counted (Network Interface Throughput)
-- Import modules via `plugins.ts`:
+
-  ```ts
+The byte tracking is designed to match network interface throughput (what Unifi/network monitoring tools show):
-  import * as plugins from './plugins.ts';
+
-  const server = new plugins.http.Server();
+**Counted bytes include:**
+- All application data
+- TLS handshakes and protocol overhead
+- TLS record headers and encryption padding
+- HTTP headers and protocol data
+- WebSocket frames and protocol overhead
+- TLS alerts sent to clients
+
+**NOT counted:**
+- PROXY protocol headers (sent to backend, not client)
+- TCP/IP headers (handled by OS, not visible at application layer)
+
+**Byte direction:**
+- `bytesReceived`: All bytes received FROM the client on the incoming connection
+- `bytesSent`: All bytes sent TO the client on the incoming connection
+- Backend connections are separate and not mixed with client metrics
+
+### Double Counting Issue (Fixed)
+
+**Problem**: Initial data chunks were being counted twice in the byte tracking:
+1. Once when stored in `pendingData` in `setupDirectConnection()`
+2. Again when the data flowed through bidirectional forwarding
+
+**Solution**: Removed the byte counting when storing initial chunks. Bytes are now only counted when they actually flow through the `setupBidirectionalForwarding()` callbacks.
+
+### HttpProxy Metrics (Fixed)
+
+**Problem**: HttpProxy forwarding was updating connection record byte counts but not calling `metricsCollector.recordBytes()`, resulting in missing throughput data.
+
+**Solution**: Added `metricsCollector.recordBytes()` calls to the HttpProxy bidirectional forwarding callbacks.
+
+### Metrics Architecture
+
+The metrics system has multiple layers:
+1. **Connection Records** (`record.bytesReceived/bytesSent`): Track total bytes per connection
+2. **Global ThroughputTracker**: Accumulates bytes between samples for overall rate calculations
+3. **Per-Route ThroughputTrackers**: Dedicated tracker for each route with per-second sampling
+4. **Per-IP ThroughputTrackers**: Dedicated tracker for each IP with per-second sampling
+5. **connectionByteTrackers**: Track cumulative bytes and metadata for active connections
+
+Key features:
+- All throughput trackers sample every second (1Hz)
+- Each tracker maintains a circular buffer of samples (default: 1 hour retention)
+- Rate calculations are accurate for any requested window (default: 1 second)
+- All byte counting happens exactly once at the data flow point
+- Unused route/IP trackers are automatically cleaned up when connections close
+
+### Understanding "High" Byte Counts
+
+If byte counts seem high compared to actual application data, remember:
+- TLS handshakes can be 1-5KB depending on cipher suites and certificates
+- Each TLS record has 5 bytes of header overhead
+- TLS encryption adds 16-48 bytes of padding/MAC per record
+- HTTP/2 has additional framing overhead
+- WebSocket has frame headers (2-14 bytes per message)
+
+This overhead is real network traffic and should be counted for accurate throughput metrics.
+
+### Byte Counting Paths
+
+There are two mutually exclusive paths for connections:
+
+1. **Direct forwarding** (route-connection-handler.ts):
+   - Used for TCP passthrough, TLS passthrough, and direct connections
+   - Bytes counted in `setupBidirectionalForwarding` callbacks
+   - Initial chunk NOT counted separately (flows through bidirectional forwarding)
+
+2. **HttpProxy forwarding** (http-proxy-bridge.ts):
+   - Used for TLS termination (terminate, terminate-and-reencrypt)
+   - Initial chunk counted when written to proxy
+   - All subsequent bytes counted in `setupBidirectionalForwarding` callbacks
+   - This is the ONLY counting point for these connections
+
+### Byte Counting Audit (2025-01-06)
+
+A comprehensive audit was performed to verify byte counting accuracy:
+
+**Audit Results:**
+- ✅ No double counting detected in any connection flow
+- ✅ Each byte counted exactly once in each direction
+- ✅ Connection records and metrics updated consistently
+- ✅ PROXY protocol headers correctly excluded from client metrics
+- ✅ NFTables forwarded connections correctly not counted (kernel handles)
+
+**Key Implementation Points:**
+- All byte counting happens in only 2 files: `route-connection-handler.ts` and `http-proxy-bridge.ts`
+- Both use the same pattern: increment `record.bytesReceived/Sent` AND call `metricsCollector.recordBytes()`
+- Initial chunks handled correctly: stored but not counted until forwarded
+- TLS alerts counted as sent bytes (correct - they are sent to client)
+
+For full audit details, see `readme.byte-counting-audit.md`
+
+## Connection Cleanup
+
+### Zombie Connection Detection
+
+The connection manager performs comprehensive zombie detection every 10 seconds:
+- **Full zombies**: Both incoming and outgoing sockets destroyed but connection not cleaned up
+- **Half zombies**: One socket destroyed, grace period expired (5 minutes for TLS, 30 seconds for non-TLS)
+- **Stuck connections**: Data received but none sent back after threshold (5 minutes for TLS, 60 seconds for non-TLS)
+
+### Cleanup Queue
+
+Connections are cleaned up through a batched queue system:
+- Batch size: 100 connections
+- Processing triggered immediately when batch size reached
+- Otherwise processed after 100ms delay
+- Prevents overwhelming the system during mass disconnections
+
+## Keep-Alive Handling
+
+Keep-alive connections receive special treatment based on `keepAliveTreatment` setting:
+- **standard**: Normal timeout applies
+- **extended**: Timeout multiplied by `keepAliveInactivityMultiplier` (default 6x)
+- **immortal**: No timeout, connections persist indefinitely
+
+## PROXY Protocol
+
+The system supports both receiving and sending PROXY protocol:
+- **Receiving**: Automatically detected from trusted proxy IPs (configured in `proxyIPs`)
+- **Sending**: Enabled per-route or globally via `sendProxyProtocol` setting
+- Real client IP is preserved and used for all connection tracking and security checks
+
+## Metrics and Throughput Calculation
+
+The metrics system tracks throughput using per-second sampling:
+
+1. **Byte Recording**: Bytes are recorded as data flows through connections
+2. **Sampling**: Every second, accumulated bytes are stored as a sample
+3. **Rate Calculation**: Throughput is calculated by summing bytes over a time window
+4. **Per-Route/IP Tracking**: Separate ThroughputTracker instances for each route and IP
+
+Key implementation details:
+- Bytes are recorded in the bidirectional forwarding callbacks
+- The instant() method returns throughput over the last 1 second
+- The recent() method returns throughput over the last 10 seconds
+- Custom windows can be specified for different averaging periods
+
+### Throughput Spikes Issue
+
+There's a fundamental difference between application-layer and network-layer throughput:
+
+**Application Layer (what we measure)**:
+- Bytes are recorded when delivered to/from the application
+- Large chunks can arrive "instantly" due to kernel/Node.js buffering
+- Shows spikes when buffers are flushed (e.g., 20MB in 1 second = 160 Mbit/s)
+
+**Network Layer (what Unifi shows)**:
+- Actual packet flow through the network interface
+- Limited by physical network speed (e.g., 20 Mbit/s)
+- Data transfers over time, not in bursts
+
+The spikes occur because:
+1. Data flows over network at 20 Mbit/s (takes 8 seconds for 20MB)
+2. Kernel/Node.js buffers this incoming data
+3. When buffer is flushed, application receives large chunk at once
+4. We record entire chunk in current second, creating artificial spike
+
+**Potential Solutions**:
+1. Use longer window for "instant" measurements (e.g., 5 seconds instead of 1)
+2. Track socket write backpressure to estimate actual network flow
+3. Implement bandwidth estimation based on connection duration
+4. Accept that application-layer != network-layer throughput
+
+## Connection Limiting
+
+### Per-IP Connection Limits
+- SmartProxy tracks connections per IP address in the SecurityManager
+- Default limit is 100 connections per IP (configurable via `maxConnectionsPerIP`)
+- Connection rate limiting is also enforced (default 300 connections/minute per IP)
+- HttpProxy has been enhanced to also enforce per-IP limits when forwarding from SmartProxy
+
+### Route-Level Connection Limits
+- Routes can define `security.maxConnections` to limit connections per route
+- ConnectionManager tracks connections by route ID using a separate Map
+- Limits are enforced in RouteConnectionHandler before forwarding
+- Connection is tracked when route is matched: `trackConnectionByRoute(routeId, connectionId)`
+
+### HttpProxy Integration
+- When SmartProxy forwards to HttpProxy for TLS termination, it sends a `CLIENT_IP:<ip>\r\n` header
+- HttpProxy parses this header to track the real client IP, not the localhost IP
+- This ensures per-IP limits are enforced even for forwarded connections
+- The header is parsed in the connection handler before any data processing
+
+### Memory Optimization
+- Periodic cleanup runs every 60 seconds to remove:
+  - IPs with no active connections
+  - Expired rate limit timestamps (older than 1 minute)
+- Prevents memory accumulation from many unique IPs over time
+- Cleanup is automatic and runs in background with `unref()` to not keep process alive
+
+### Connection Cleanup Queue
+- Cleanup queue processes connections in batches to prevent overwhelming the system
+- Race condition prevention using `isProcessingCleanup` flag
+- Try-finally block ensures flag is always reset even if errors occur
+- New connections added during processing are queued for next batch
+
+### Important Implementation Notes
+- Always use `NodeJS.Timeout` type instead of `NodeJS.Timer` for interval/timeout references
+- IPv4/IPv6 normalization is handled (e.g., `::ffff:127.0.0.1` and `127.0.0.1` are treated as the same IP)
+- Connection limits are checked before route matching to prevent DoS attacks
+- SharedSecurityManager supports checking route-level limits via optional parameter
+
+## Log Deduplication
+
+To reduce log spam during high-traffic scenarios or attacks, SmartProxy implements log deduplication for repetitive events:
+
+### How It Works
+- Similar log events are batched and aggregated over a 5-second window
+- Instead of logging each event individually, a summary is emitted
+- Events are grouped by type and deduplicated by key (e.g., IP address, reason)
+
+### Deduplicated Event Types
+1. **Connection Rejections** (`connection-rejected`):
+   - Groups by rejection reason (global-limit, route-limit, etc.)
+   - Example: "Rejected 150 connections (reasons: global-limit: 100, route-limit: 50)"
+
+2. **IP Rejections** (`ip-rejected`):
+   - Groups by IP address
+   - Shows top offenders with rejection counts and reasons
+   - Example: "Rejected 500 connections from 10 IPs (top offenders: 192.168.1.100 (200x, rate-limit), ...)"
+
+3. **Connection Cleanups** (`connection-cleanup`):
+   - Groups by cleanup reason (normal, timeout, error, zombie, etc.)
+   - Example: "Cleaned up 250 connections (reasons: normal: 200, timeout: 30, error: 20)"
+
+4. **IP Tracking Cleanup** (`ip-cleanup`):
+   - Summarizes periodic IP cleanup operations
+   - Example: "IP tracking cleanup: removed 50 entries across 5 cleanup cycles"
+
+### Configuration
+- Default flush interval: 5 seconds
+- Maximum batch size: 100 events (triggers immediate flush)
+- Global periodic flush: Every 10 seconds (ensures logs are emitted regularly)
+- Process exit handling: Logs are flushed on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+
+### Benefits
+- Reduces log volume during attacks or high traffic
+- Provides better overview of patterns (e.g., which IPs are attacking)
+- Improves log readability and analysis
+- Prevents log storage overflow
+- Maintains detailed information in aggregated form
+
+### Log Output Examples
+
+Instead of hundreds of individual logs:
 ```
-- Reference plugins with full path: `plugins.acme`, `plugins.smartdelay`, `plugins.minimatch`, etc.
+Connection rejected
-- Path patterns support globs (`*`) and parameters (`:param`) in `ProxyRouter`.
+Connection rejected
-- Wildcard hostname matching leverages `minimatch` patterns.
+Connection rejected
-
+... (repeated 500 times)
-## Key Components
-- **ProxyRouter**
-  - Methods: `routeReq`, `routeReqWithDetails`.
-  - Hostname matching: case-insensitive, strips port, supports exact, wildcard, TLD, complex patterns.
-  - Path routing: exact, wildcard, parameter extraction (`pathParams`), returns `pathMatch` and `pathRemainder`.
-  - Config API: `setNewProxyConfigs`, `addProxyConfig`, `removeProxyConfig`, `getHostnames`, `getProxyConfigs`.
-- **SmartProxy**
-  - Manages one or more `net.Server` instances to forward TCP streams.
-  - Options: `preserveSourceIP`, `defaultAllowedIPs`, `globalPortRanges`, `sniEnabled`.
-  - DomainConfigManager: round-robin selection for multiple target IPs.
-  - Graceful shutdown in `stop()`, ensures no lingering servers or sockets.
-
-## Notable Points
-- **TSConfig**: `module: NodeNext`, `verbatimModuleSyntax`, allows `.js` extension imports in TS.
-- Mermaid diagrams and architecture flows in `readme.md` illustrate component interactions and protocol flows.
-- CLI entrypoint (`cli.js`) supports command-line usage (ACME, proxy controls).
-- ACME and certificate handling via `Port80Handler` and `helpers.certificates.ts`.
-
-## ACME/Certificate Configuration Example (v19.0.0)
-```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    name: 'example.com',
-    match: { domains: 'example.com', ports: 443 },
-    action: {
-      type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
-      tls: {
-        mode: 'terminate',
-        certificate: 'auto',
-        acme: {  // ACME config MUST be here, not at top level
-          email: 'ssl@example.com',
-          useProduction: false,
-          challengePort: 80
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-});
 ```
 
-## TODOs / Considerations
+You'll see:
-- Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
+```
-- Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
+[SUMMARY] Rejected 500 connections from 10 IPs in 5s (rate-limit: 350, per-ip-limit: 150) (top offenders: 192.168.1.100 (200x, rate-limit), 10.0.0.1 (150x, per-ip-limit))
-- Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
-- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.
-- Consider implementing top-level ACME config support for backward compatibility

-## 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
+Instead of:
-- `test/test.http-fix-unit.ts` - Unit tests verifying the fix
+```
-- Tests confirm that non-TLS connections on HttpProxy ports are properly forwarded
+Connection terminated: ::ffff:127.0.0.1 (client_closed). Active: 266
-- Tests verify that non-HttpProxy ports still use direct connections
+Connection terminated: ::ffff:127.0.0.1 (client_closed). Active: 265
+... (repeated 266 times)
+```
 
-### Configuration Example
+You'll see:
+```
+[SUMMARY] 266 HttpProxy connections terminated in 5s (reasons: client_closed: 266, activeConnections: 0)
+```
+
+### Rapid Event Handling
+- During attacks or high-volume scenarios, logs are flushed more frequently
+- If 50+ events occur within 1 second, immediate flush is triggered
+- Prevents memory buildup during flooding attacks
+- Maintains real-time visibility during incidents
+
+## Custom Certificate Provision Function
+
+The `certProvisionFunction` feature has been implemented to allow users to provide their own certificate generation logic.
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+1. **Type Definition**: The function must return `Promise<TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject>` where:
+   - `TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject = plugins.tsclass.network.ICert | 'http01'`
+   - Return `'http01'` to fallback to Let's Encrypt
+   - Return a certificate object for custom certificates
+
+2. **Certificate Manager Changes**:
+   - Added `certProvisionFunction` property to CertificateManager
+   - Modified `provisionAcmeCertificate()` to check custom function first
+   - Custom certificates are stored with source type 'custom'
+   - Expiry date extraction currently defaults to 90 days
+
+3. **Configuration Options**:
+   - `certProvisionFunction`: The custom provision function
+   - `certProvisionFallbackToAcme`: Whether to fallback to ACME on error (default: true)
+
+4. **Usage Example**:
 ```typescript
-const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+new SmartProxy({
-  useHttpProxy: [80], // Enable HttpProxy for port 80
+  certProvisionFunction: async (domain: string) => {
-  httpProxyPort: 8443,
+    if (domain === 'internal.example.com') {
-  acme: {
+      return {
-    email: 'ssl@example.com',
+        cert: customCert,
-    port: 80
+        key: customKey,
+        ca: customCA
+      } as unknown as TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject;
+    }
+    return 'http01'; // Use Let's Encrypt
   },
-  routes: [
+  certProvisionFallbackToAcme: true
-    // Your routes here
+})
-  ]
-});
 ```
 
-## ACME Certificate Provisioning Timing Fix (v19.3.9)
+5. **Testing Notes**:
+   - Type assertions through `unknown` are needed in tests due to strict interface typing
+   - Mock certificate objects work for testing but need proper type casting
+   - The actual certificate parsing for expiry dates would need a proper X.509 parser
 
-### Issue
+### Future Improvements
-Certificate provisioning would start before ports were listening, causing ACME HTTP-01 challenges to fail with connection refused errors.
 
-### Root Cause
+1. Implement proper certificate expiry date extraction using X.509 parsing
-SmartProxy initialization sequence:
+2. Add support for returning expiry date with custom certificates
-1. Certificate manager initialized → immediately starts provisioning
+3. Consider adding validation for custom certificate format
-2. Ports start listening (too late for ACME challenges)
+4. Add events/hooks for certificate provisioning lifecycle
-
-### 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.
