sniproxy8

Transparent session based tls and http proxy

Usage

sniproxy [-c config] [-f] [-n file-descriptor-limit] [-V]

Overview

Proxies incoming HTTP and TLS connections based on the hostname contained in the initial request of the TCP session. This enables HTTPS name-based virtual hosting to separate backend servers without installing the private key on the proxy machine.

Options

-c config

Specify configuration file to use. The default is /etc/sniproxy.conf.

-f

Do not daemonize, and run in foreground.

-n file-descriptor-limit

Specify the maximum file descriptor resource limit. SNIProxy will attempt to set the maximum file descriptor limit to the value specified.

-V

Print the version of SNIProxy and exit.
