+# Memory Leaks Fixed in SmartProxy
+
+## Summary of Issues Found and Fixed
+
+### 1. MetricsCollector - Request Timestamps Array
+**Issue**: The `requestTimestamps` array could grow to 10,000 entries before cleanup, causing unnecessary memory usage.
+**Fix**: Reduced threshold to 5,000 and more aggressive cleanup when exceeded.
+
+### 2. RouteConnectionHandler - Unused Route Context Cache
+**Issue**: Declared `routeContextCache` Map that was never used but could be confusing.
+**Fix**: Removed the unused cache and added documentation explaining why caching wasn't implemented.
+
+### 3. FunctionCache - Uncleaned Interval Timer
+**Issue**: The cache cleanup interval was never cleared, preventing proper garbage collection.
+**Fix**: Added `destroy()` method to properly clear the interval timer.
+
+### 4. HttpProxy/RequestHandler - Uncleaned Rate Limit Cleanup Timer
+**Issue**: The RequestHandler creates a setInterval for rate limit cleanup that's never cleared.
+**Status**: Needs fix - add destroy method and call it from HttpProxy.stop()
+
+## Memory Leak Test
+
+A comprehensive memory leak test was created at `test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts` that:
+- Tests with 1000 requests to same routes
+- Tests with 1000 requests to different routes (cache growth)
+- Tests rapid 10,000 requests (timestamp array growth)
+- Monitors memory usage throughout
+- Verifies specific data structures don't grow unbounded
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. Always use `unref()` on intervals that shouldn't keep the process alive
+2. Always provide cleanup/destroy methods for classes that create timers
+3. Implement size limits on all caches and Maps
+4. Consider using WeakMap for caches where appropriate
+5. Run memory leak tests regularly, especially after adding new features
+
+## Running the Memory Leak Test
+
+```bash
+# Run with garbage collection exposed for accurate measurements
+node --expose-gc test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts
+```
+
+The test will monitor memory usage and fail if memory growth exceeds acceptable thresholds.

+
+## Quick Fix for SNI Passthrough WebSocket Disconnections
+
+If your WebSocket connections are disconnecting every 30 seconds in SNI passthrough mode, here's the immediate solution:
+
+### Option 1: Extended Keep-Alive Treatment (Recommended)
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // Extend timeout for keep-alive connections
+  keepAliveTreatment: 'extended',
+  keepAliveInactivityMultiplier: 10, // 10x the base timeout
+  inactivityTimeout: 14400000, // 4 hours base (40 hours with multiplier)
+  
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'websocket-passthrough',
+      match: { 
+        ports: 443, 
+        domains: ['ws.example.com', 'wss.example.com'] 
+      },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'backend', port: 443 },
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Option 2: Immortal Connections (Never Timeout)
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // Never timeout keep-alive connections
+  keepAliveTreatment: 'immortal',
+  
+  routes: [
+    // ... same as above
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Option 3: Per-Route Security Settings
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'websocket-passthrough',
+      match: { 
+        ports: 443, 
+        domains: ['ws.example.com'] 
+      },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'backend', port: 443 },
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' }
+      },
+      security: {
+        // Disable connection limits for this route
+        maxConnections: 0, // 0 = unlimited
+        maxConnectionsPerIP: 0 // 0 = unlimited
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Understanding the Issue
+
+### Why Connections Drop at 30 Seconds
+
+1. **WebSocket Heartbeat**: The HTTP proxy's WebSocket handler sends ping frames every 30 seconds
+2. **SNI Passthrough**: In passthrough mode, traffic is encrypted end-to-end
+3. **Can't Inject Pings**: The proxy can't inject ping frames into encrypted traffic
+4. **No Pong Response**: Client doesn't respond to pings that were never sent
+5. **Connection Terminated**: After 30 seconds, connection is marked inactive and closed
+
+### Why Grace Periods Were Too Short
+
+- Half-zombie detection: 30 seconds (now 5 minutes for TLS)
+- Stuck connection detection: 60 seconds (now 5 minutes for TLS)
+- These were too aggressive for encrypted long-lived connections
+
+## Long-Term Solution
+
+The fix involves:
+
+1. **Detecting SNI Passthrough**: Skip WebSocket heartbeat for passthrough connections
+2. **Longer Grace Periods**: 5-minute grace for encrypted connections
+3. **TCP Keep-Alive**: Rely on OS-level TCP keep-alive instead
+4. **Route-Aware Timeouts**: Different timeout strategies per route type
+
+## TCP Keep-Alive Configuration
+
+For best results, also configure TCP keep-alive at the OS level:
+
+### Linux
+```bash
+# /etc/sysctl.conf
+net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 600    # Start probes after 10 minutes
+net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 60    # Probe every minute
+net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 9    # Drop after 9 failed probes
+```
+
+### Node.js Socket Options
+The proxy already enables TCP keep-alive on sockets:
+- Keep-alive is enabled by default
+- Initial delay can be configured via `keepAliveInitialDelay`
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Check your connections:
+
+```typescript
+const stats = proxy.getStats();
+console.log('Active connections:', stats.getActiveConnections());
+console.log('Connections by route:', stats.getConnectionsByRoute());
+
+// Monitor long-lived connections
+setInterval(() => {
+  const connections = proxy.connectionManager.getConnections();
+  for (const [id, conn] of connections) {
+    const age = Date.now() - conn.incomingStartTime;
+    if (age > 300000) { // 5+ minutes
+      console.log(`Long-lived connection: ${id}, age: ${age}ms, route: ${conn.routeName}`);
+    }
+  }
+}, 60000);
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Immediate Fix**: Use `keepAliveTreatment: 'extended'` or `'immortal'`
+- **Applied Fix**: Increased grace periods for TLS connections to 5 minutes
+- **Best Practice**: Use SNI passthrough for WebSocket when you need end-to-end encryption
+- **Alternative**: Use TLS termination if you need application-level WebSocket features

+# WebSocket Keep-Alive Fix for SNI Passthrough
+
+## Problem
+
+WebSocket connections in SNI passthrough mode are being disconnected every 30 seconds due to:
+
+1. **WebSocket Heartbeat**: The HTTP proxy's WebSocket handler performs heartbeat checks every 30 seconds using ping/pong frames. In SNI passthrough mode, these frames can't be injected into the encrypted stream, causing connections to be marked as inactive and terminated.
+
+2. **Half-Zombie Detection**: The connection manager's aggressive cleanup gives only 30 seconds grace period for connections where one socket is destroyed.
+
+## Solution
+
+For SNI passthrough connections:
+1. Disable WebSocket-specific heartbeat checking (they're handled as raw TCP)
+2. Rely on TCP keepalive settings instead
+3. Increase grace period for encrypted connections
+
+## Current Settings
+
+- Default inactivity timeout: 4 hours (14400000 ms)
+- Keep-alive multiplier for extended mode: 6x (24 hours)
+- WebSocket heartbeat interval: 30 seconds (problem!)
+- Half-zombie grace period: 30 seconds (too aggressive)
+
+## Recommended Configuration
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  // Increase grace period for connection cleanup
+  inactivityTimeout: 14400000, // 4 hours default
+  keepAliveTreatment: 'extended', // or 'immortal' for no timeout
+  keepAliveInactivityMultiplier: 10, // 40 hours for keepalive connections
+  
+  // For routes with WebSocket over SNI passthrough
+  routes: [
+    {
+      name: 'websocket-passthrough',
+      match: { ports: 443, domains: 'ws.example.com' },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'backend', port: 443 },
+        tls: { mode: 'passthrough' },
+        // No WebSocket-specific config needed for passthrough
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Temporary Workaround
+
+Until a fix is implemented, you can:
+
+1. Use `keepAliveTreatment: 'immortal'` to disable timeout-based cleanup
+2. Increase the half-zombie grace period
+3. Use TCP keepalive at the OS level
+
+## Proper Fix Implementation
+
+1. Detect when a connection is SNI passthrough
+2. Skip WebSocket heartbeat for passthrough connections 
+3. Increase grace period for encrypted connections
+4. Rely on TCP keepalive instead of application-level ping/pong
