@push.rocks/smartproxy

A proxy for handling high workloads of proxying.

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartproxy, run the following command in your project's root directory:

npm install @push.rocks/smartproxy --save

This will add @push.rocks/smartproxy to your project's dependencies.

Usage

@push.rocks/smartproxy is a versatile package for setting up and handling proxies with various capabilities such as SSL redirection, port proxying, and creating network proxies with complex routing rules. Below is a comprehensive guide on using its features.

Setting Up a Network Proxy

Create a network proxy to route incoming HTTPS requests to different local servers based on the hostname.

import { NetworkProxy } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

// Instantiate the NetworkProxy with desired options
const myNetworkProxy = new NetworkProxy({ port: 443 });

// Define your reverse proxy configurations
const proxyConfigs = [
  {
    destinationIp: '127.0.0.1',
    destinationPort: '3000',
    hostName: 'example.com',
    privateKey: `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
PRIVATE_KEY_CONTENT
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----`,
    publicKey: `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
CERTIFICATE_CONTENT
-----END CERTIFICATE-----`,
  },
  // Add more reverse proxy configurations here
];

// Start the network proxy
await myNetworkProxy.start();

// Update proxy configurations dynamically
await myNetworkProxy.updateProxyConfigs(proxyConfigs);

// Optionally, add default headers to all responses
await myNetworkProxy.addDefaultHeaders({
  'X-Powered-By': 'smartproxy',
});

Port Proxying

You can also set up a port proxy to forward traffic from one port to another, which is useful for dynamic port forwarding scenarios.

import { PortProxy } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

// Create a PortProxy to forward traffic from port 5000 to port 3000
const myPortProxy = new PortProxy(5000, 3000);

// Start the port proxy
await myPortProxy.start();

// To stop the port proxy, simply call
await myPortProxy.stop();

Enabling SSL Redirection

Easily redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS using the SslRedirect class. This is particularly useful when ensuring all traffic uses encryption.

import { SslRedirect } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

// Instantiate the SslRedirect on port 80 (HTTP)
const mySslRedirect = new SslRedirect(80);

// Start listening and redirecting to HTTPS
await mySslRedirect.start();

// To stop the redirection, use
await mySslRedirect.stop();

Advanced Usage

The package integrates seamlessly with TypeScript, allowing for advanced use cases, such as implementing custom routing logic, authentication mechanisms, and handling WebSocket connections through the network proxy.

For a more advanced setup involving WebSocket proxying and dynamic configuration reloading, refer to the network proxy example provided above. The WebSocket support demonstrates how seamless it is to work with real-time applications.

Remember, when dealing with certificates and private keys for HTTPS configurations, always secure your keys and store them appropriately.

@push.rocks/smartproxy provides a solid foundation for handling high workloads and complex proxying requirements with ease, whether you're implementing SSL redirections, port forwarding, or extensive routing and WebSocket support in your network.
