Connections cannot be split if \fB-c\fP and \fB-k\fP are not given and the
site does not match any certificate loaded using \fB-t\fP, or if the connection
to the original server gives SSL/TLS errors. Specifically, this happens if the
site requests a client certificate. Passthrough with \fB-P\fP results in
uninterrupted service for the clients, while dropping is the more secure
alternative if unmonitored connections must be prevented.
site requests a client certificate.
In these situations, passthrough with \fB-P\fP results in uninterrupted service
for the clients, while dropping is the more secure alternative if unmonitored
connections must be prevented.
Passthrough mode currently does not apply to SSL/TLS errors in the connection
from the client, since the connection from the client cannot easily be retried.
Specifically, \fB-P\fP does not currently work for clients that do not accept
forged certificates.
