16.0.4

- Renamed port proxy and SNI handler source files to classes.pp.portproxy.js and classes.pp.snihandler.js respectively
- Updated import paths in index.ts and test files (e.g. in test.ts and test.router.ts) to reference the new file names
- This refactor improves code organization but breaks direct imports from the old paths

+# SmartProxy Port Handling
+
+This document covers all the port handling capabilities in SmartProxy, including port range specification, dynamic port mapping, and runtime port management.
+
+## Port Range Syntax
+
+SmartProxy offers flexible port range specification through the `TPortRange` type, which can be defined in three different ways:
+
+### 1. Single Port
+
+```typescript
+// Match a single port
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: 443
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Array of Specific Ports
+
+```typescript
+// Match multiple specific ports
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [80, 443, 8080]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Port Range
+
+```typescript
+// Match a range of ports
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Mixed Port Specifications
+
+You can combine different port specification methods in a single rule:
+
+```typescript
+// Match both specific ports and port ranges
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: [80, 443, { from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Port Forwarding Options
+
+SmartProxy offers several ways to handle port forwarding from source to target:
+
+### 1. Static Port Forwarding
+
+Forward to a fixed target port:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 8080
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Preserve Source Port
+
+Forward to the same port on the target:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Dynamic Port Mapping
+
+Use a function to determine the target port based on connection context:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        // Calculate port based on request details
+        return 8000 + (context.port % 100);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Port Selection Context
+
+When using dynamic port mapping functions, you have access to a rich context object that provides details about the connection:
+
+```typescript
+interface IRouteContext {
+  // Connection information
+  port: number;          // The matched incoming port
+  domain?: string;       // The domain from SNI or Host header
+  clientIp: string;      // The client's IP address
+  serverIp: string;      // The server's IP address
+  path?: string;         // URL path (for HTTP connections)
+  query?: string;        // Query string (for HTTP connections)
+  headers?: Record<string, string>; // HTTP headers (for HTTP connections)
+
+  // TLS information
+  isTls: boolean;        // Whether the connection is TLS
+  tlsVersion?: string;   // TLS version if applicable
+
+  // Route information
+  routeName?: string;    // The name of the matched route
+  routeId?: string;      // The ID of the matched route
+
+  // Additional properties
+  timestamp: number;     // The request timestamp
+  connectionId: string;  // Unique connection identifier
+}
+```
+
+## Common Port Mapping Patterns
+
+### 1. Port Offset Mapping
+
+Forward traffic to target ports with a fixed offset:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => context.port + 1000
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Domain-Based Port Mapping
+
+Forward to different backend ports based on the domain:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        switch (context.domain) {
+          case 'api.example.com': return 8001;
+          case 'admin.example.com': return 8002;
+          case 'staging.example.com': return 8003;
+          default: return 8000;
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Load Balancing with Hash-Based Distribution
+
+Distribute connections across a port range using a deterministic hash function:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: (context) => {
+        // Simple hash function to ensure consistent mapping
+        const hostname = context.domain || '';
+        const hash = hostname.split('').reduce((a, b) => a + b.charCodeAt(0), 0);
+        return 8000 + (hash % 10); // Map to ports 8000-8009
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## IPv6-Mapped IPv4 Compatibility
+
+SmartProxy automatically handles IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses for optimal compatibility. When a connection from an IPv4 address (e.g., `192.168.1.1`) arrives as an IPv6-mapped address (`::ffff:192.168.1.1`), the system normalizes these addresses for consistent matching.
+
+This is particularly important when:
+
+1. Matching client IP restrictions in route configurations
+2. Preserving source IP for outgoing connections
+3. Tracking connections and rate limits
+
+No special configuration is needed - the system handles this normalization automatically.
+
+## Dynamic Port Management
+
+SmartProxy allows for runtime port configuration changes without requiring a restart.
+
+### Adding and Removing Ports
+
+```typescript
+// Get the SmartProxy instance
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({ /* config */ });
+
+// Add a new listening port
+await proxy.addListeningPort(8081);
+
+// Remove a listening port
+await proxy.removeListeningPort(8082);
+```
+
+### Runtime Route Updates
+
+```typescript
+// Get current routes
+const currentRoutes = proxy.getRoutes();
+
+// Add new route for the new port
+const newRoute = {
+  name: 'New Dynamic Route',
+  match: {
+    ports: 8081,
+    domains: ['dynamic.example.com']
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 9000
+    }
+  }
+};
+
+// Update the route configuration
+await proxy.updateRoutes([...currentRoutes, newRoute]);
+
+// Remove routes for a specific port
+const routesWithout8082 = currentRoutes.filter(route => {
+  const ports = proxy.routeManager.expandPortRange(route.match.ports);
+  return !ports.includes(8082);
+});
+await proxy.updateRoutes(routesWithout8082);
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Port Range Expansion
+
+When using large port ranges, SmartProxy uses internal caching to optimize performance. For example, a range like `{ from: 1000, to: 2000 }` is expanded only once and then cached for future use.
+
+### Port Range Validation
+
+The system automatically validates port ranges to ensure:
+
+1. Port numbers are within the valid range (1-65535)
+2. The "from" value is not greater than the "to" value in range specifications
+3. Port ranges do not contain duplicate entries
+
+Invalid port ranges will be logged as warnings and skipped during configuration.
+
+## Configuration Recipes
+
+### Global Port Range
+
+Listen on a large range of ports and forward to the same ports on a backend:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'Global port range forwarding',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }]
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'backend.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Domain-Specific Port Ranges
+
+Different port ranges for different domain groups:
+
+```typescript
+[
+  {
+    name: 'API port range',
+    match: {
+      ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'api.backend.example.com',
+        port: 'preserve'
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Admin port range',
+    match: {
+      ports: [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'admin.backend.example.com',
+        port: 'preserve'
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Mixed Internal/External Port Forwarding
+
+Forward specific high-numbered ports to standard ports on internal servers:
+
+```typescript
+[
+  {
+    name: 'Web server forwarding',
+    match: {
+      ports: [8080, 8443]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'web.internal',
+        port: (context) => context.port === 8080 ? 80 : 443
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Database forwarding',
+    match: {
+      ports: [15432]
+    },
+    action: {
+      type: 'forward',
+      target: {
+        host: 'db.internal',
+        port: 5432
+      }
+    }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+## Debugging Port Configurations
+
+When troubleshooting port forwarding issues, enable detailed logging:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  routes: [ /* your routes */ ],
+  enableDetailedLogging: true
+});
+```
+
+This will log:
+- Port configuration during startup
+- Port matching decisions during routing
+- Dynamic port function results
+- Connection details including source and target ports
+
+## Port Security Considerations
+
+### Restricting Ports
+
+For security, you may want to restrict which ports can be accessed by specific clients:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'Restricted port range',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 9000 }],
+    clientIp: ['10.0.0.0/8'] // Only internal network can access these ports
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'internal.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting by Port
+
+Apply different rate limits for different port ranges:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'API ports with rate limiting',
+  match: {
+    ports: [{ from: 8000, to: 8100 }]
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: 'api.example.com',
+      port: 'preserve'
+    },
+    security: {
+      rateLimit: {
+        enabled: true,
+        maxRequests: 100,
+        window: 60 // 60 seconds
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Specific Port Ranges**: Instead of large ranges (e.g., 1-65535), use specific ranges for specific purposes
+
+2. **Prioritize Routes**: When multiple routes could match, use the `priority` field to ensure the most specific route is matched first
+
+3. **Name Your Routes**: Use descriptive names to make debugging easier, especially when using port ranges
+
+4. **Use Preserve Port Where Possible**: Using `port: 'preserve'` is more efficient and easier to maintain than creating multiple specific mappings
+
+5. **Limit Dynamic Port Functions**: While powerful, complex port functions can be harder to debug; prefer simple map or math-based functions
+
+6. **Use Port Variables**: For complex setups, define your port ranges as variables for easier maintenance:
+
+```typescript
+const API_PORTS = [{ from: 8000, to: 8099 }];
+const ADMIN_PORTS = [{ from: 9000, to: 9099 }];
+
+const routes = [
+  {
+    name: 'API Routes',
+    match: { ports: API_PORTS, /* ... */ },
+    // ...
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'Admin Routes',
+    match: { ports: ADMIN_PORTS, /* ... */ },
+    // ...
+  }
+];
+```

+# SmartProxy Project Hints
+
+## Project Overview
+- 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.
+
+## Repository Structure
+- `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
+- Requires `pnpm` (v10+).
+- Install dependencies: `pnpm install`.
+- Build: `pnpm build` (runs `tsbuild --web --allowimplicitany`).
+- Test: `pnpm test` (runs `tstest test/`).
+- Format: `pnpm format` (runs `gitzone format`).
+
+## Testing Framework
+- Uses `@push.rocks/tapbundle` (`tap`, `expect`, `expactAsync`).
+- Test files: must start with `test.` and use `.ts` extension.
+- Run specific tests via `tsx`, e.g., `tsx test/test.router.ts`.
+
+## Coding Conventions
+- Import modules via `plugins.ts`:
+  ```ts
+  import * as plugins from './plugins.ts';
+  const server = new plugins.http.Server();
+  ```
+- Reference plugins with full path: `plugins.acme`, `plugins.smartdelay`, `plugins.minimatch`, etc.
+- Path patterns support globs (`*`) and parameters (`:param`) in `ProxyRouter`.
+- Wildcard hostname matching leverages `minimatch` patterns.
+
+## 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`.
+
+## TODOs / Considerations
+- Ensure import extensions in source match build outputs (`.ts` vs `.js`).
+- Update `plugins.ts` when adding new dependencies.
+- Maintain test coverage for new routing or proxy features.
+- Keep `ts/` and `dist_ts/` in sync after refactors.

+# SmartProxy Configuration Troubleshooting
+
+## IPv6/IPv4 Mapping Issue
+
+### Problem Identified
+The SmartProxy is failing to match connections for wildcard domains (like `*.lossless.digital`) when IP restrictions are in place. After extensive debugging, the root cause has been identified:
+
+When a connection comes in from an IPv4 address (e.g., `212.95.99.130`), the Node.js server receives it as an IPv6-mapped IPv4 address with the format `::ffff:212.95.99.130`. However, the route configuration is expecting the exact string `212.95.99.130`, causing a mismatch.
+
+From the debug logs:
+```
+[DEBUG] Route rejected: clientIp mismatch. Request: ::ffff:212.95.99.130, Route patterns: ["212.95.99.130"]
+```
+
+### Solution
+
+To fix this issue, update the route configurations to include both formats of the IP address. Here's how to modify the affected route:
+
+```typescript
+// Wildcard domain route for *.lossless.digital
+{
+  match: {
+    ports: 443,
+    domains: ['*.lossless.digital'],
+    clientIp: ['212.95.99.130', '::ffff:212.95.99.130'],  // Include both formats
+  },
+  action: {
+    type: 'forward',
+    target: {
+      host: '212.95.99.130',
+      port: 443
+    },
+    tls: {
+      mode: 'passthrough'
+    },
+    security: {
+      allowedIps: ['212.95.99.130', '::ffff:212.95.99.130']  // Include both formats
+    }
+  },
+  name: 'Wildcard lossless.digital route (IP restricted)'
+}
+```
+
+### Alternative Long-Term Fix
+
+A more robust solution would be to modify the SmartProxy codebase to automatically handle IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses by normalizing them before comparison. This would involve:
+
+1. Modifying the `matchIpPattern` function in `route-manager.ts` to normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses:
+
+```typescript
+private matchIpPattern(pattern: string, ip: string): boolean {
+  // Normalize IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses
+  const normalizedIp = ip.startsWith('::ffff:') ? ip.substring(7) : ip;
+  const normalizedPattern = pattern.startsWith('::ffff:') ? pattern.substring(7) : pattern;
+  
+  // Handle exact match with normalized addresses
+  if (normalizedPattern === normalizedIp) {
+    return true;
+  }
+  
+  // Rest of the existing function...
+}
+```
+
+2. Making similar modifications to other IP-related functions in the codebase.
+
+## Wild Card Domain Matching Issue
+
+### Explanation
+
+The wildcard domain matching in SmartProxy works as follows:
+
+1. When a pattern like `*.lossless.digital` is specified, it's converted to a regex: `/^.*\.lossless\.digital$/i`
+2. This correctly matches any subdomain like `my.lossless.digital`, `api.lossless.digital`, etc.
+3. However, it does NOT match the apex domain `lossless.digital` (without a subdomain)
+
+If you need to match both the apex domain and subdomains, use a list:
+```typescript
+domains: ['lossless.digital', '*.lossless.digital']
+```
+
+## Debugging SmartProxy
+
+To debug routing issues in SmartProxy:
+
+1. Add detailed logging to the `route-manager.js` file in the `dist_ts` directory:
+   - `findMatchingRoute` method - to see what criteria are being checked
+   - `matchRouteDomain` method - to see domain matching logic
+   - `matchDomain` method - to see pattern matching
+   - `matchIpPattern` method - to see IP matching logic
+
+2. Run the proxy with debugging enabled:
+   ```
+   pnpm run startNew
+   ```
+
+3. Monitor the logs for detailed information about the routing process and identify where matches are failing.
+
+## Priority and Route Order
+
+Remember that routes are evaluated in priority order (higher priority first). If multiple routes could match the same request, ensure that the more specific routes have higher priority.
+
+When routes have the same priority (or none specified), they're evaluated in the order they're defined in the configuration.
