feat(protocols): refactor protocol utilities into centralized protocols module

- 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.

+# 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.

-# PROXY Protocol Implementation Plan
+# SmartProxy Enhanced Routing Plan
 
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Implementation Order
+## Goal
+Implement enhanced routing structure with multiple targets per route, sub-matching capabilities, and target-specific overrides to enable more elegant and DRY configurations.
 
-**Phase 1 (ProxyProtocolSocket/WrappedSocket) MUST be completed first!**
+## Key Changes
 
-The ProxyProtocolSocket class is the foundation that enables all PROXY protocol functionality. No protocol parsing or integration can happen until this wrapper class is fully implemented and tested.
+### 1. Update Route Target Interface
+- Add `match` property to `IRouteTarget` for sub-matching within routes
+- Add target-specific override properties (tls, websocket, loadBalancing, etc.)
+- Add priority field for controlling match order
 
-1. **FIRST**: Implement ProxyProtocolSocket (the WrappedSocket)
-2. **THEN**: Add PROXY protocol parser
-3. **THEN**: Integrate with connection handlers
-4. **FINALLY**: Add security and validation
-
-## Overview
-Implement PROXY protocol support in SmartProxy to preserve client IP information through proxy chains, solving the connection limit accumulation issue where inner proxies see all connections as coming from the outer proxy's IP.
-
-## Problem Statement
-- In proxy chains, the inner proxy sees all connections from the outer proxy's IP
-- This causes the inner proxy to hit per-IP connection limits (default: 100)
-- Results in connection rejections while outer proxy accumulates connections
-
-## Solution Design
-
-### 1. Core Features
-
-#### 1.1 PROXY Protocol Parsing
-- Support PROXY protocol v1 (text format) initially
-- Parse incoming PROXY headers to extract:
-  - Real client IP address
-  - Real client port
-  - Proxy IP address
-  - Proxy port
-  - Protocol (TCP4/TCP6)
-
-#### 1.2 PROXY Protocol Generation
-- Add ability to send PROXY protocol headers when forwarding connections
-- Configurable per route or target
-
-#### 1.3 Trusted Proxy IPs
-- New `proxyIPs` array in SmartProxy options
-- Auto-enable PROXY protocol acceptance for connections from these IPs
-- Reject PROXY protocol from untrusted sources (security)
-
-### 2. Configuration Schema
-
-```typescript
-interface ISmartProxyOptions {
-  // ... existing options
-  
-  // List of trusted proxy IPs that can send PROXY protocol
-  proxyIPs?: string[];
-  
-  // Global option to accept PROXY protocol (defaults based on proxyIPs)
-  acceptProxyProtocol?: boolean;
-  
-  // Global option to send PROXY protocol to all targets
-  sendProxyProtocol?: boolean;
-}
-
-interface IRouteAction {
-  // ... existing options
-  
-  // Send PROXY protocol to this specific target
-  sendProxyProtocol?: boolean;
-}
-```
+### 2. Update Route Action Interface
+- Remove singular `target` property
+- Use only `targets` array (single target = array with one element)
+- Maintain backwards compatibility during migration
 
 ### 3. Implementation Steps
 
-#### IMPORTANT: Phase 1 Must Be Completed First
-The `ProxyProtocolSocket` (WrappedSocket) is the foundation for all PROXY protocol functionality. This wrapper class must be implemented and integrated BEFORE any PROXY protocol parsing can begin.
+#### Phase 1: Type Updates
+- [x] Update `IRouteTarget` interface in `route-types.ts`
+  - Add `match?: ITargetMatch` property
+  - Add override properties (tls, websocket, etc.)
+  - Add `priority?: number` field
+- [x] Create `ITargetMatch` interface for sub-matching criteria
+- [x] Update `IRouteAction` to use only `targets: IRouteTarget[]`
 
-#### Phase 1: ProxyProtocolSocket (WrappedSocket) Foundation - ✅ COMPLETED (v19.5.19)
-This phase creates the socket wrapper infrastructure that all subsequent phases depend on.
+#### Phase 2: Route Resolution Logic
+- [x] Update route matching logic to handle multiple targets
+- [x] Implement target sub-matching algorithm:
+  1. Sort targets by priority (highest first)
+  2. For each target with a match property, check if request matches
+  3. Use first matching target, or fallback to target without match
+- [x] Ensure target-specific settings override route-level settings
 
-1. **Create WrappedSocket class** in `ts/core/models/wrapped-socket.ts` ✅
-   - Used JavaScript Proxy pattern instead of EventEmitter (avoids infinite loops)
-   - Properties for real client IP and port
-   - Transparent getters that return real or socket IP/port
-   - All socket methods/properties delegated via Proxy
+#### Phase 3: Code Migration
+- [x] Find all occurrences of `action.target` and update to use `action.targets`
+- [x] Update route helpers and utilities
+- [x] Update certificate manager to handle multiple targets
+- [x] Update connection handlers
 
-2. **Implement core wrapper functionality** ✅
-   - Constructor accepts regular socket + optional metadata
-   - `remoteAddress` getter returns real IP or falls back to socket IP
-   - `remotePort` getter returns real port or falls back to socket port
-   - `isFromTrustedProxy` property to check if it has real client info
-   - `setProxyInfo()` method to update real client details
+#### Phase 4: Testing
+- [x] Update existing tests to use new format
+- [ ] Add tests for multi-target scenarios
+- [ ] Add tests for sub-matching logic
+- [ ] Add tests for setting overrides
 
-3. **Update ConnectionManager to handle wrapped sockets** ✅
-   - Accept either `net.Socket` or `WrappedSocket`
-   - Created `getUnderlyingSocket()` helper for socket utilities
-   - All socket utility functions extract underlying socket
+#### Phase 5: Documentation
+- [ ] Update type documentation
+- [ ] Add examples of new routing patterns
+- [ ] Document migration path for existing configs
 
-4. **Integration completed** ✅
-   - All incoming sockets wrapped in RouteConnectionHandler
-   - Socket forwarding verified working with wrapped sockets
-   - Type safety maintained with index signature
-
-**Deliverables**: ✅ Working WrappedSocket that can wrap any socket and provide transparent access to client info.
-
-#### Phase 2: PROXY Protocol Parser - ✅ COMPLETED (v19.5.21)
-Only after WrappedSocket is working can we add protocol parsing.
-
-1. ✅ Created `ProxyProtocolParser` class in `ts/core/utils/proxy-protocol.ts`
-2. ✅ Implemented v1 text format parsing with full validation
-3. ✅ Added comprehensive error handling and IP validation
-4. ✅ Integrated parser to work WITH WrappedSocket in RouteConnectionHandler
-
-**Deliverables**: ✅ Working PROXY protocol v1 parser that validates headers, extracts client info, and handles both TCP4 and TCP6 protocols.
-
-#### Phase 3: Connection Handler Integration - ✅ COMPLETED (v19.5.21)
-1. ✅ Modify `RouteConnectionHandler` to create WrappedSocket for all connections
-2. ✅ Check if connection is from trusted proxy IP
-3. ✅ If trusted, attempt to parse PROXY protocol header
-4. ✅ Update wrapped socket with real client info
-5. ✅ Continue normal connection handling with wrapped socket
-
-**Deliverables**: ✅ RouteConnectionHandler now parses PROXY protocol from trusted proxies and updates connection records with real client info.
-
-#### Phase 4: Outbound PROXY Protocol - ✅ COMPLETED (v19.5.21)
-1. ✅ Add PROXY header generation in `setupDirectConnection`
-2. ✅ Make it configurable per route via `sendProxyProtocol` option
-3. ✅ Send header immediately after TCP connection
-4. ✅ Added remotePort tracking to connection records
-
-**Deliverables**: ✅ SmartProxy can now send PROXY protocol headers to backend servers when configured, preserving client IP through proxy chains.
-
-#### Phase 5: Security & Validation - FINAL PHASE
-1. Validate PROXY headers strictly
-2. Reject malformed headers
-3. Only accept from trusted IPs
-4. Add rate limiting for PROXY protocol parsing
-
-### 4. Design Decision: Socket Wrapper Architecture
-
-#### Option A: Minimal Single Socket Wrapper
-- **Scope**: Wraps individual sockets with metadata
-- **Use Case**: PROXY protocol support with minimal refactoring
-- **Pros**: Simple, low risk, easy migration
-- **Cons**: Still need separate connection management
-
-#### Option B: Comprehensive Connection Wrapper
-- **Scope**: Manages socket pairs (incoming + outgoing) with all utilities
-- **Use Case**: Complete connection lifecycle management
-- **Pros**: 
-  - Encapsulates all socket utilities (forwarding, cleanup, backpressure)
-  - Single object represents entire connection
-  - Cleaner API for connection handling
-- **Cons**: 
-  - Major architectural change
-  - Higher implementation risk
-  - More complex migration
-
-#### Recommendation
-Start with **Option A** (ProxyProtocolSocket) for immediate PROXY protocol support, then evaluate Option B based on:
-- Performance impact of additional abstraction
-- Code simplification benefits
-- Team comfort with architectural change
-
-### 5. Code Implementation Details
-
-#### 5.1 ProxyProtocolSocket (WrappedSocket) - PHASE 1 IMPLEMENTATION
-This is the foundational wrapper class that MUST be implemented first. It wraps a regular socket and provides transparent access to the real client IP/port.
+## Example Configurations
 
+### Before (Current)
 ```typescript
-// ts/core/models/proxy-protocol-socket.ts
-import { EventEmitter } from 'events';
-import * as plugins from '../../../plugins.js';
-
-/**
- * ProxyProtocolSocket wraps a regular net.Socket to provide transparent access
- * to the real client IP and port when behind a proxy using PROXY protocol.
- * 
- * This is the FOUNDATION for all PROXY protocol support and must be implemented
- * before any protocol parsing can occur.
- */
-export class ProxyProtocolSocket extends EventEmitter {
-  private realClientIP?: string;
-  private realClientPort?: number;
-  
-  constructor(
-    public readonly socket: plugins.net.Socket,
-    realClientIP?: string,
-    realClientPort?: number
-  ) {
-    super();
-    this.realClientIP = realClientIP;
-    this.realClientPort = realClientPort;
-    
-    // Forward all socket events
-    this.forwardSocketEvents();
-  }
-  
-  /**
-   * Returns the real client IP if available, otherwise the socket's remote address
-   */
-  get remoteAddress(): string | undefined {
-    return this.realClientIP || this.socket.remoteAddress;
-  }
-  
-  /**
-   * Returns the real client port if available, otherwise the socket's remote port
-   */
-  get remotePort(): number | undefined {
-    return this.realClientPort || this.socket.remotePort;
-  }
-  
-  /**
-   * Indicates if this connection came through a trusted proxy
-   */
-  get isFromTrustedProxy(): boolean {
-    return !!this.realClientIP;
-  }
-  
-  /**
-   * Updates the real client information (called after parsing PROXY protocol)
-   */
-  setProxyInfo(ip: string, port: number): void {
-    this.realClientIP = ip;
-    this.realClientPort = port;
-  }
-  
-  // Pass-through all socket methods
-  write(data: any, encoding?: any, callback?: any): boolean {
-    return this.socket.write(data, encoding, callback);
-  }
-  
-  end(data?: any, encoding?: any, callback?: any): this {
-    this.socket.end(data, encoding, callback);
-    return this;
-  }
-  
-  destroy(error?: Error): this {
-    this.socket.destroy(error);
-    return this;
-  }
-  
-  // ... implement all other socket methods as pass-through
-  
-  /**
-   * Forward all events from the underlying socket
-   */
-  private forwardSocketEvents(): void {
-    const events = ['data', 'end', 'close', 'error', 'drain', 'timeout'];
-    events.forEach(event => {
-      this.socket.on(event, (...args) => {
-        this.emit(event, ...args);
-      });
-    });
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**KEY POINT**: This wrapper must be fully functional and tested BEFORE moving to Phase 2.
-
-#### 4.2 ProxyProtocolParser (new file)
-```typescript
-// ts/core/utils/proxy-protocol.ts
-export class ProxyProtocolParser {
-  static readonly PROXY_V1_SIGNATURE = 'PROXY ';
-  
-  static parse(chunk: Buffer): IProxyInfo | null {
-    // Implementation
-  }
-  
-  static generate(info: IProxyInfo): Buffer {
-    // Implementation
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### 4.3 Connection Handler Updates
-```typescript
-// In handleConnection method
-let wrappedSocket: ProxyProtocolSocket | plugins.net.Socket = socket;
-
-// Wrap socket if from trusted proxy
-if (this.settings.proxyIPs?.includes(socket.remoteAddress)) {
-  wrappedSocket = new ProxyProtocolSocket(socket);
-}
-
-// Create connection record with wrapped socket
-const record = this.connectionManager.createConnection(wrappedSocket);
-
-// In handleInitialData method
-if (wrappedSocket instanceof ProxyProtocolSocket) {
-  const proxyInfo = await this.checkForProxyProtocol(chunk);
-  if (proxyInfo) {
-    wrappedSocket.setProxyInfo(proxyInfo.sourceIP, proxyInfo.sourcePort);
-    // Continue with remaining data after PROXY header
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### 4.4 Security Manager Updates
-- Accept socket or ProxyProtocolSocket
-- Use `socket.remoteAddress` getter for real client IP
-- Transparent handling of both socket types
-
-### 5. Configuration Examples
-
-#### Basic Setup (IMPLEMENTED ✅)
-```typescript
-// Outer proxy - sends PROXY protocol
-const outerProxy = new SmartProxy({
-  routes: [{
-    name: 'to-inner-proxy',
-    match: { ports: 443 },
+// Need separate routes for different ports/paths
+[
+  {
+    match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [80] },
     action: {
       type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: '195.201.98.232', port: 443 },
-      sendProxyProtocol: true  // Enable for this route
+      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8080 },
+      tls: { mode: 'terminate' }
     }
-  }]
-});
-
-// Inner proxy - accepts PROXY protocol from outer proxy
-const innerProxy = new SmartProxy({
-  proxyIPs: ['212.95.99.130'],  // Outer proxy IP
-  acceptProxyProtocol: true,     // Optional - defaults to true when proxyIPs is set
-  routes: [{
-    name: 'to-backend',
-    match: { ports: 443 },
+  },
+  {
+    match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [443] },
     action: {
       type: 'forward',
-      target: { host: '192.168.5.247', port: 443 }
+      target: { host: 'backend', port: 8081 },
+      tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
     }
-  }]
-});
+  }
+]
 ```
 
-### 6. Testing Plan
-
-#### Unit Tests
-- PROXY protocol v1 parsing (valid/invalid formats)
-- Header generation
-- Trusted IP validation
-- Connection record updates
-
-#### Integration Tests
-- Single proxy with PROXY protocol
-- Proxy chain with PROXY protocol
-- Security: reject from untrusted IPs
-- Performance: minimal overhead
-- Compatibility: works with TLS passthrough
-
-#### Test Scenarios
-1. **Connection limit test**: Verify inner proxy sees real client IPs
-2. **Security test**: Ensure PROXY protocol rejected from untrusted sources
-3. **Compatibility test**: Verify no impact on non-PROXY connections
-4. **Performance test**: Measure overhead of PROXY protocol parsing
-
-### 7. Security Considerations
-
-1. **IP Spoofing Prevention**
-   - Only accept PROXY protocol from explicitly trusted IPs
-   - Validate all header fields
-   - Reject malformed headers immediately
-
-2. **Resource Protection**
-   - Limit PROXY header size (107 bytes for v1)
-   - Timeout for incomplete headers
-   - Rate limit connection attempts
-
-3. **Logging**
-   - Log all PROXY protocol acceptance/rejection
-   - Include real client IP in all connection logs
-
-### 8. Rollout Strategy
-
-1. **Phase 1**: Deploy parser and acceptance (backward compatible)
-2. **Phase 2**: Enable between controlled proxy pairs
-3. **Phase 3**: Monitor for issues and performance impact
-4. **Phase 4**: Expand to all proxy chains
-
-### 9. Success Metrics
-
-- Inner proxy connection distribution matches outer proxy
-- No more connection limit rejections in proxy chains
-- Accurate client IP logging throughout the chain
-- No performance degradation (<1ms added latency)
-
-### 10. Future Enhancements
-
-- PROXY protocol v2 (binary format) support
-- TLV extensions for additional metadata
-- AWS VPC endpoint ID support
-- Custom metadata fields
-
-## WrappedSocket Class Design
-
-### Overview
-A WrappedSocket class has been evaluated and recommended to provide cleaner PROXY protocol integration and better socket management architecture.
-
-### Rationale for WrappedSocket
-
-#### Current Challenges
-- Sockets handled directly as `net.Socket` instances throughout codebase
-- Metadata tracked separately in `IConnectionRecord` objects
-- Socket augmentation via TypeScript module augmentation for TLS properties
-- PROXY protocol would require modifying socket handling in multiple places
-
-#### Benefits
-1. **Clean PROXY Protocol Integration** - Parse and store real client IP/port without modifying existing socket handling
-2. **Better Encapsulation** - Bundle socket + metadata + behavior together
-3. **Type Safety** - No more module augmentation needed
-4. **Future Extensibility** - Easy to add compression, metrics, etc.
-5. **Simplified Testing** - Easier to mock and test socket behavior
-
-### Implementation Strategy
-
-#### Phase 1: Minimal ProxyProtocolSocket (Immediate)
-Create a minimal wrapper for PROXY protocol support:
-
+### After (Enhanced)
 ```typescript
-class ProxyProtocolSocket {
-  constructor(
-    public socket: net.Socket,
-    public realClientIP?: string,
-    public realClientPort?: number
-  ) {}
-  
-  get remoteAddress(): string {
-    return this.realClientIP || this.socket.remoteAddress || '';
+// Single route with multiple targets
+{
+  match: { domains: ['api.example.com'], ports: [80, 443] },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    targets: [
+      {
+        match: { ports: [80] },
+        host: 'backend',
+        port: 8080,
+        tls: { mode: 'terminate' }
+      },
+      {
+        match: { ports: [443] },
+        host: 'backend',
+        port: 8081,
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
       }
-  
-  get remotePort(): number {
-    return this.realClientPort || this.socket.remotePort || 0;
-  }
-  
-  get isFromTrustedProxy(): boolean {
-    return !!this.realClientIP;
+    ]
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Integration points:
-- Use in `RouteConnectionHandler` when receiving from trusted proxy IPs
-- Update `ConnectionManager` to accept wrapped sockets
-- Modify security checks to use `socket.remoteAddress` getter
-
-#### Phase 2: Connection-Aware WrappedSocket (Alternative Design)
-A more comprehensive design that manages both sides of a connection:
-
+### Advanced Example
 ```typescript
-// Option A: Single Socket Wrapper (simpler)
-class WrappedSocket extends EventEmitter {
-  private socket: net.Socket;
-  private connectionId: string;
-  private metadata: ISocketMetadata;
-  
-  constructor(socket: net.Socket, metadata?: Partial<ISocketMetadata>) {
-    super();
-    this.socket = socket;
-    this.connectionId = this.generateId();
-    this.metadata = { ...defaultMetadata, ...metadata };
-    this.setupHandlers();
+{
+  match: { domains: ['app.example.com'], ports: [443] },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    tls: { mode: 'terminate', certificate: 'auto' }, // Route-level default
+    websocket: { enabled: true }, // Route-level default
+    targets: [
+      {
+        match: { path: '/api/v2/*' },
+        host: 'api-v2',
+        port: 8082,
+        priority: 10
+      },
+      {
+        match: { path: '/api/*', headers: { 'X-Version': 'v1' } },
+        host: 'api-v1',
+        port: 8081,
+        priority: 5
+      },
+      {
+        match: { path: '/ws/*' },
+        host: 'websocket-server',
+        port: 8090,
+        websocket: { 
+          enabled: true,
+          rewritePath: '/'  // Strip /ws prefix
         }
-  
-  // ... single socket management
-}
-
-// Option B: Connection Pair Wrapper (comprehensive)
-class WrappedConnection extends EventEmitter {
-  private connectionId: string;
-  private incoming: WrappedSocket;
-  private outgoing?: WrappedSocket;
-  private forwardingActive: boolean = false;
-  
-  constructor(incomingSocket: net.Socket) {
-    super();
-    this.connectionId = this.generateId();
-    this.incoming = new WrappedSocket(incomingSocket);
+      },
+      {
+        // Default target (no match property)
+        host: 'web-backend',
+        port: 8080
       }
-  
-  // Connect to backend and set up forwarding
-  async connectToBackend(target: ITarget): Promise<void> {
-    const outgoingSocket = await this.createOutgoingConnection(target);
-    this.outgoing = new WrappedSocket(outgoingSocket);
-    await this.setupBidirectionalForwarding();
-  }
-  
-  // Built-in forwarding logic from socket-utils
-  private async setupBidirectionalForwarding(): Promise<void> {
-    if (!this.outgoing) throw new Error('No outgoing socket');
-    
-    // Handle data forwarding with backpressure
-    this.incoming.on('data', (chunk) => {
-      this.outgoing!.write(chunk, () => {
-        // Handle backpressure
-      });
-    });
-    
-    this.outgoing.on('data', (chunk) => {
-      this.incoming.write(chunk, () => {
-        // Handle backpressure
-      });
-    });
-    
-    // Handle connection lifecycle
-    const cleanup = (reason: string) => {
-      this.forwardingActive = false;
-      this.incoming.destroy();
-      this.outgoing?.destroy();
-      this.emit('closed', reason);
-    };
-    
-    this.incoming.once('close', () => cleanup('incoming_closed'));
-    this.outgoing.once('close', () => cleanup('outgoing_closed'));
-    
-    this.forwardingActive = true;
-  }
-  
-  // PROXY protocol support
-  async handleProxyProtocol(trustedProxies: string[]): Promise<boolean> {
-    if (trustedProxies.includes(this.incoming.socket.remoteAddress)) {
-      const parsed = await this.incoming.parseProxyProtocol();
-      if (parsed && this.outgoing) {
-        // Forward PROXY protocol to backend if configured
-        await this.outgoing.sendProxyProtocol(this.incoming.realClientIP);
-      }
-      return parsed;
-    }
-    return false;
-  }
-  
-  // Consolidated metrics
-  getMetrics(): IConnectionMetrics {
-    return {
-      connectionId: this.connectionId,
-      duration: Date.now() - this.startTime,
-      incoming: this.incoming.getMetrics(),
-      outgoing: this.outgoing?.getMetrics(),
-      totalBytes: this.getTotalBytes(),
-      state: this.getConnectionState()
-    };
+    ]
   }
 }
 ```
 
-#### Phase 3: Full Migration (Long-term)
-- Replace all `net.Socket` usage with `WrappedSocket`
-- Remove socket augmentation from `socket-augmentation.ts`
-- Update all socket utilities to work with wrapped sockets
-- Standardize socket handling across all components
+## Benefits
+1. **DRY Configuration**: No need to duplicate common settings across routes
+2. **Flexibility**: Different backends for different ports/paths within same domain
+3. **Clarity**: All routing for a domain in one place
+4. **Performance**: Single route lookup instead of multiple
+5. **Backwards Compatible**: Can migrate gradually
 
-### Integration with PROXY Protocol
-
-The WrappedSocket class integrates seamlessly with PROXY protocol:
-
-1. **Connection Acceptance**:
-   ```typescript
-   const wrappedSocket = new ProxyProtocolSocket(socket);
-   if (this.isFromTrustedProxy(socket.remoteAddress)) {
-     await wrappedSocket.parseProxyProtocol(this.settings.proxyIPs);
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. **Security Checks**:
-   ```typescript
-   // Automatically uses real client IP if available
-   const clientIP = wrappedSocket.remoteAddress;
-   if (!this.securityManager.isIPAllowed(clientIP)) {
-     wrappedSocket.destroy();
-   }
-   ```
-
-3. **Connection Records**:
-   ```typescript
-   const record = this.connectionManager.createConnection(wrappedSocket);
-   // ConnectionManager uses wrappedSocket.remoteAddress transparently
-   ```
-
-### Option B Example: How It Would Replace Current Architecture
-
-Instead of current approach with separate components:
-```typescript
-// Current: Multiple separate components
-const record = connectionManager.createConnection(socket);
-const { cleanupClient, cleanupServer } = createIndependentSocketHandlers(
-  clientSocket, serverSocket, onBothClosed
-);
-setupBidirectionalForwarding(clientSocket, serverSocket, handlers);
-```
-
-Option B would consolidate everything:
-```typescript
-// Option B: Single connection object
-const connection = new WrappedConnection(incomingSocket);
-await connection.handleProxyProtocol(trustedProxies);
-await connection.connectToBackend({ host: 'server', port: 443 });
-// Everything is handled internally - forwarding, cleanup, metrics
-
-connection.on('closed', (reason) => {
-  logger.log('Connection closed', connection.getMetrics());
-});
-```
-
-This would replace:
-- `IConnectionRecord` - absorbed into WrappedConnection
-- `socket-utils.ts` functions - methods on WrappedConnection
-- Separate incoming/outgoing tracking - unified in one object
-- Manual cleanup coordination - automatic lifecycle management
-
-Additional benefits with Option B:
-- **Connection Pooling Integration**: WrappedConnection could integrate with EnhancedConnectionPool for backend connections
-- **Unified Metrics**: Single point for all connection statistics
-- **Protocol Negotiation**: Handle PROXY, TLS, HTTP/2 upgrade in one place
-- **Resource Management**: Automatic cleanup with LifecycleComponent pattern
-
-### Migration Path
-
-1. **Week 1-2**: Implement minimal ProxyProtocolSocket (Option A)
-2. **Week 3-4**: Test with PROXY protocol implementation
-3. **Month 2**: Prototype WrappedConnection (Option B) if beneficial
-4. **Month 3-6**: Gradual migration if Option B proves valuable
-5. **Future**: Complete adoption in next major version
-
-### Success Criteria
-
-- PROXY protocol works transparently with wrapped sockets
-- No performance regression (<0.1% overhead)
-- Simplified code in connection handlers
-- Better TypeScript type safety
-- Easier to add new socket-level features
+## Migration Strategy
+1. Keep support for `target` temporarily with deprecation warning
+2. Auto-convert `target` to `targets: [target]` internally
+3. Update documentation with migration examples
+4. Remove `target` support in next major version

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

-## Next Steps
-
-To fully implement PROXY protocol support:
-1. Implement the parser in `ProxyProtocolParser` class
-2. Integrate parser into `handleConnection` method
-3. Add header generation to `setupDirectConnection`
-4. Test with real proxies (HAProxy, nginx, AWS ELB)
-5. Add PROXY protocol v2 support for better performance

-# SmartProxy PROXY Protocol Implementation Example
-
-This document shows how PROXY protocol parsing could be implemented in SmartProxy. Note that this is a conceptual implementation guide - the actual parsing is not yet implemented in the current version.
-
-## Conceptual PROXY Protocol v1 Parser Implementation
-
-### Parser Class
-
-```typescript
-// This would go in ts/core/utils/proxy-protocol-parser.ts
-import { logger } from './logger.js';
-
-export interface IProxyProtocolInfo {
-  version: 1 | 2;
-  command: 'PROXY' | 'LOCAL';
-  family: 'TCP4' | 'TCP6' | 'UNKNOWN';
-  sourceIP: string;
-  destIP: string;
-  sourcePort: number;
-  destPort: number;
-  headerLength: number;
-}
-
-export class ProxyProtocolParser {
-  private static readonly PROXY_V1_SIGNATURE = 'PROXY ';
-  private static readonly MAX_V1_HEADER_LENGTH = 108; // Max possible v1 header
-
-  /**
-   * Parse PROXY protocol v1 header from buffer
-   * Returns null if not a valid PROXY protocol header
-   */
-  static parseV1(buffer: Buffer): IProxyProtocolInfo | null {
-    // Need at least 8 bytes for "PROXY " + newline

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

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

-// ts/proxies/smart-proxy/route-connection-handler.ts
-public handleConnection(socket: plugins.net.Socket): void {
-  const remoteIP = socket.remoteAddress || '';
-  
-  // Always wrap the socket to prepare for potential PROXY protocol
-  const wrappedSocket = new WrappedSocket(socket);
-  
-  // If this is from a trusted proxy, log it
-  if (this.settings.proxyIPs?.includes(remoteIP)) {
-    logger.log('debug', `Connection from trusted proxy ${remoteIP}, PROXY protocol parsing will be enabled`);
-  }
-  
-  // Create connection record with wrapped socket
-  const record = this.connectionManager.createConnection(wrappedSocket);
-  
-  // Continue with normal connection handling...
-}
-```
-
-### Socket Utility Integration
-
-When passing wrapped sockets to socket utility functions, the underlying socket must be extracted:
-
-```typescript
-import { getUnderlyingSocket } from '../../core/models/socket-types.js';
-
-// In setupDirectConnection()
-const incomingSocket = getUnderlyingSocket(socket); // Extract raw socket
-
-setupBidirectionalForwarding(incomingSocket, targetSocket, {
-  onClientData: (chunk) => {
-    record.bytesReceived += chunk.length;
-  },
-  onServerData: (chunk) => {
-    record.bytesSent += chunk.length;
-  },
-  onCleanup: (reason) => {
-    this.connectionManager.cleanupConnection(record, reason);
-  },
-  enableHalfOpen: false // Required for proxy chains
-});
-```
-
-## Current Status and Limitations
-
-### Implemented (v19.5.19+)
-- ✅ WrappedSocket foundation class
-- ✅ Socket wrapping in connection handler
-- ✅ Connection manager support for wrapped sockets
-- ✅ Socket utility integration helpers
-- ✅ Proxy IP configuration options
-
-### Not Yet Implemented
-- ❌ PROXY protocol v1 header parsing
-- ❌ PROXY protocol v2 binary format support
-- ❌ Automatic PROXY protocol header generation when forwarding
-- ❌ HAProxy compatibility testing
-- ❌ AWS ELB/NLB compatibility testing
-
-### Known Issues
-1. **No actual PROXY protocol parsing** - The infrastructure is in place but the protocol parsing is not yet implemented
-2. **Manual configuration required** - No automatic detection of PROXY protocol support
-3. **Limited to TCP connections** - WebSocket connections through proxy chains may not preserve client IPs
-
-## Testing Proxy Chains
-
-### Basic Proxy Chain Test
-
-```typescript
-// test/test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts
-tap.test('simple proxy chain test', async () => {
-  // Create backend server
-  const backend = net.createServer((socket) => {
-    console.log('Backend: Connection received');
-    socket.write('HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\r\nHello from backend');
-    socket.end();
-  });
-  
-  // Create inner proxy (downstream)
-  const innerProxy = new SmartProxy({
-    proxyIPs: ['127.0.0.1'], // Trust localhost for testing
-    routes: [{
-      name: 'to-backend',
-      match: { ports: 8591 },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 9999 }
-      }
-    }]
-  });
-  
-  // Create outer proxy (upstream)
-  const outerProxy = new SmartProxy({
-    sendProxyProtocol: true, // Send PROXY to inner
-    routes: [{
-      name: 'to-inner',
-      match: { ports: 8590 },
-      action: {
-        type: 'forward',
-        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8591 }
-      }
-    }]
-  });
-  
-  // Test connection through chain
-  const client = net.connect(8590, 'localhost');
-  client.write('GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: test.com\r\n\r\n');
-  
-  // Verify no connection accumulation
-  const counts = getConnectionCounts();
-  expect(counts.proxy1).toEqual(0);
-  expect(counts.proxy2).toEqual(0);
-});
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Always Configure Trusted Proxies
-```typescript
-// Be specific about which IPs can send PROXY protocol
-proxyIPs: ['10.0.0.1', '10.0.0.2'], // Good
-proxyIPs: ['0.0.0.0/0'], // Bad - trusts everyone
-```
-
-### 2. Use CIDR Notation for Subnets
-```typescript
-proxyIPs: [
-  '10.0.0.0/24',     // Trust entire subnet
-  '192.168.1.5',     // Trust specific IP
-  '172.16.0.0/16'    // Trust private network
-]
-```
-
-### 3. Enable Half-Open Only When Needed
-```typescript
-// For proxy chains, always disable half-open
-setupBidirectionalForwarding(client, server, {
-  enableHalfOpen: false // Ensures proper cascade cleanup
-});
-```
-
-### 4. Monitor Connection Counts
-```typescript
-// Regular monitoring prevents connection leaks
-setInterval(() => {
-  const stats = proxy.getStatistics();
-  console.log(`Active connections: ${stats.activeConnections}`);
-  if (stats.activeConnections > 1000) {
-    console.warn('High connection count detected');
-  }
-}, 60000);
-```
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-### Phase 2: PROXY Protocol v1 Parser
-```typescript
-// Planned implementation
-class ProxyProtocolParser {
-  static parse(buffer: Buffer): ProxyInfo | null {
-    // Parse "PROXY TCP4 <src-ip> <dst-ip> <src-port> <dst-port>\r\n"
-    const header = buffer.toString('ascii', 0, 108);
-    const match = header.match(/^PROXY (TCP4|TCP6) (\S+) (\S+) (\d+) (\d+)\r\n/);
-    if (match) {
-      return {
-        protocol: match[1],
-        sourceIP: match[2],
-        destIP: match[3],
-        sourcePort: parseInt(match[4]),
-        destPort: parseInt(match[5]),
-        headerLength: match[0].length
-      };
-    }
-    return null;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Phase 3: Automatic PROXY Protocol Detection
-- Peek at first bytes to detect PROXY protocol signature
-- Automatic fallback to direct connection if not present
-- Configurable timeout for protocol detection
-
-### Phase 4: PROXY Protocol v2 Support
-- Binary protocol format for better performance
-- Additional metadata support (TLS info, ALPN, etc.)
-- AWS VPC endpoint ID preservation
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Connection Accumulation in Proxy Chains
-If connections accumulate when chaining proxies:
-1. Verify `enableHalfOpen: false` in socket forwarding
-2. Check that both proxies have proper cleanup handlers
-3. Monitor with connection count logging
-4. Use `test.proxy-chain-simple.node.ts` as reference
-
-### Real Client IP Not Preserved
-If the backend sees proxy IP instead of client IP:
-1. Verify outer proxy has `sendProxyProtocol: true`
-2. Verify inner proxy has outer proxy IP in `proxyIPs` list
-3. Check logs for "Connection from trusted proxy" message
-4. Ensure PROXY protocol parsing is implemented (currently pending)
-
-### Performance Impact
-PROXY protocol adds minimal overhead:
-- One-time parsing cost per connection
-- Small memory overhead for real client info storage
-- No impact on data transfer performance
-- Negligible CPU impact for header generation

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