wsProxy
This is a websocket to tcp proxy, written in node.js. It is dynamic and will proxy to various tcp servers.
Installation
npm install wsproxy -g
Usage
wsproxy [-p PORT] [-t THREADS (# of threads to spawn)] [-s ENABLE_SSL] [-k KEY_FILE] [-c CERT_FILE]
Client usage
When connecting to this websocket you will give it an IP:PORT uri, for example:
ws://websocket.example.com:5999/127.0.0.1:6900
- You can edit allowed.js to only allow proxy to certain IP:PORT
- Note: if you pass in the
-a
or --allow
option when starting the wsproxy
this file will be ignored.
- We will soon release a version, with better standards for this.
Writing modules for wsProxy guidelines
- Simply require and extend current files from the
/src
folder, once done, require them on wsProxy /index.js
. - BE CAREFUL, MODULES NEED TO BE LIGHTWEIGHT, LIMIT YOURSELF TO SIMPLE I/O OPERATIONS, DON'T BLOCK, AND CREATE LITTLE GARBAGE!
- Don't forget that node.js is single threaded, cpu intensive blocks of code will block the entire proxy!
- Don't create to much garbage, or the garbage collector will also block for extended periods of time, thus creating "lag" for the users.
