Hello..
I started working on implementing a simple forwarding proxy module. Its similiar to Squid and Nginx, but it wont intercept the packets as of now (just do forwarding)
-
Listen on some ports, configured in the configuartion file.
-
Accept the connection and create a new connection to the original server address, using the proxy machine address(May be tproxy functionality can be supported in Future)
-
Using C++11 standard in order to get comfortable.
-
Completely written in C++
-
Using epoll -- Aynchronous system call.
-
Big project -- May take some time and would like to do it incrementally. STAY Tuned!!!
