# SSLproxy - transparent SSL/TLS proxy for decrypting and diverting network traffic to other programs for deep SSL inspection [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/sonertari/SSLproxy.svg?branch=master)](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/sonertari/SSLproxy) Copyright (C) 2017-2022, [Soner Tari](mailto:sonertari@gmail.com). https://github.com/sonertari/SSLproxy Copyright (C) 2009-2019, [Daniel Roethlisberger](//daniel.roe.ch/). https://www.roe.ch/SSLsplit ## Overview SSLproxy is a proxy for SSL/TLS encrypted network connections. It is intended to be used for decrypting and diverting network traffic to other programs, such as UTM services, for deep SSL inspection. But it can handle unencrypted network traffic as well. [The UTMFW project](https://github.com/sonertari/UTMFW) uses SSLproxy to decyrpt and feed network traffic into its UTM services: Web Filter, POP3 Proxy, SMTP Proxy, and Inline IPS; and also indirectly into Virus Scanner and Spam Filter through those UTM software. Given that most of the Internet traffic is encrypted now, without SSLproxy it wouldn't be possible to deeply inspect most of the network traffic passing through UTMFW. See [this presentation](https://drive.google.com/open?id=12YaGIGs0-xfpqMNAY3rzUbIyed-Tso8W) for a summary of SSL interception and potential issues with middleboxes that support it. ### Mode of operation SSLproxy is designed to transparently terminate connections that are redirected to it using a network address translation engine. SSLproxy then terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address. Packets received on the client side are decrypted and sent to the program listening on a port given in the proxy specification. SSLproxy inserts in the first packet the address and port it is expecting to receive the packets back from the program. Upon receiving the packets back, SSLproxy re-encrypts and sends them to their original destination. The return traffic follows the same path back to the client in reverse order. ![Mode of Operation Diagram](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1N_Yy5nMPDSvY8YaNFd4sHvipyLWq5zDy) This is similar in principle to [divert sockets](https://man.openbsd.org/divert.4), where the packet filter diverts the packets to a program listening on a divert socket, and after processing the packets the program reinjects them into the kernel. If there is no program listening on that divert socket or the program does not reinject the packets into the kernel, the connection is effectively blocked. In the case of SSLproxy, SSLproxy acts as both the packet filter and the kernel, and the communication occurs over networking sockets. SSLproxy supports split mode of operation similar to SSLsplit as well. In split mode, packets are not diverted to listening programs, effectively making SSLproxy behave similar to SSLsplit, but not exactly like it, because SSLproxy has certain features non-existent in SSLsplit, such as user authentication, protocol validation, and filtering rules. Also, note that the implementation of the proxy core in SSLproxy is different from the one in SSLsplit; for example, the proxy core in SSLproxy runs lockless, whereas SSLsplit implementation uses a thread manager level lock (which does not necessarily make sslproxy run faster than sslsplit). In SSLproxy, split mode can be defined globally, per-proxyspec, or per-connection using filtering rules. SSLproxy does not automagically redirect any network traffic. To actually implement a proxy, you also need to redirect the traffic to the system running sslproxy. Your options include running sslproxy on a legitimate router, ARP spoofing, ND spoofing, DNS poisoning, deploying a rogue access point (e.g. using hostap mode), physical recabling, malicious VLAN reconfiguration or route injection, /etc/hosts modification and so on. #### Proxy specifications SSLproxy supports three different types of proxy specifications, or proxyspecs for short, which can be in divert or split style. - Command line proxyspecs passed on the command line - One line proxyspecs in configuration files - Structured proxyspecs in configuration files The syntax of command line proxyspecs is as follows: (tcp|ssl|http|https|pop3|pop3s|smtp|smtps|autossl) listenaddr listenport [up:divertport [ua:divertaddr ra:returnaddr]] [(targetaddr targetport|sni sniport|natengine)] The syntax of one line proxyspecs is the same as the syntax of command line proxyspecs, except for the leading `ProxySpec` keyword: ProxySpec (tcp|ssl|http|https|pop3|pop3s|smtp|smtps|autossl) listenaddr listenport [up:divertport [ua:divertaddr ra:returnaddr]] [(targetaddr targetport|sni sniport|natengine)] The syntax of structured proxyspecs is as follows, and they can configure connection options too: ProxySpec { Proto (tcp|ssl|http|https|pop3|pop3s|smtp|smtps|autossl) Addr listenaddr # inline Port listenport # comments DivertPort divertport # allowed DivertAddr divertaddr ReturnAddr returnaddr TargetAddr targetaddr TargetPort targetport SNIPort sniport NatEngine natengine # Divert or split Divert (yes|no) # Connection options Passthrough (yes|no) DenyOCSP (yes|no) CACert ca.crt CAKey ca.key ClientCert client.crt ClientKey client.key CAChain chain.crt LeafCRLURL http://example.com/example.crl DHGroupParams dh.pem ECDHCurve prime256v1 SSLCompression (yes|no) ForceSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) DisableSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) EnableSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) MinSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) MaxSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) Ciphers MEDIUM:HIGH CipherSuites TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 VerifyPeer (yes|no) AllowWrongHost (yes|no) RemoveHTTPAcceptEncoding (yes|no) RemoveHTTPReferer (yes|no) MaxHTTPHeaderSize 8192 ValidateProto (yes|no) UserAuth (yes|no) UserTimeout 300 UserAuthURL https://192.168.0.1/userdblogin.php # The DivertUsers, PassUsers, and PassSite options will be deprecated DivertUsers userlist PassUsers userlist PassSite rules Define $macro valuelist (Divert|Split|Pass|Block|Match) one line filtering rules FilterRule {...} structured filtering rules } For example, given the following command line proxyspec: https 127.0.0.1 8443 up:8080 - SSLproxy listens for HTTPS connections on 127.0.0.1:8443. - Upon receiving a connection from the Client, it decrypts and diverts the packets to a Program listening on 127.0.0.1:8080. The default divert address is 127.0.0.1, which can be configured by the `ua` option. - After processing the packets, the Program gives them back to SSLproxy listening on a dynamically assigned address, which the Program obtains from the SSLproxy line in the first packet in the connection. - Then SSLproxy re-encrypts and sends the packets to the Server. The response from the Server follows the same path back to the Client in reverse order. Split style proxyspecs configure for split mode of operation similar to [SSLsplit](https://github.com/droe/sslsplit). See the SSLsplit documentation for the details of split style proxyspecs. #### SSLproxy line Given the proxyspec example above, a sample line SSLproxy inserts into the first packet in the connection may be the following: SSLproxy: [127.0.0.1]:34649,[192.168.3.24]:47286,[192.168.111.130]:443,s - The first IP:port pair is a dynamically assigned address that SSLproxy expects the program send the packets back to it. - The second and third IP:port pairs are the actual source and destination addresses of the connection, respectively. Since the program receives the packets from SSLproxy, it cannot determine the source and destination addresses of the packets by itself, for example by asking the NAT engine, hence must rely on the information in the SSLproxy line. - The last letter is either s or p, for SSL/TLS encrypted or plain traffic, respectively. This information is also important for the program, because it cannot reliably determine if the actual network traffic it is processing was encrypted or not before being diverted to it. #### Listening programs The program that packets are diverted to should support this mode of operation. Specifically, it should be able to recognize the SSLproxy address in the first packet, and give the first and subsequent packets back to SSLproxy listening on that address, instead of sending them to their original destination as it normally would. You can use any software as a listening program as long as it supports this mode of operation. So existing or new software developed in any programming language can be modified to be used with SSLproxy to inspect and/or modify any or all parts of the packets diverted to it. Given the proxyspec example above, a program should be listening on port 8080. You can offload the system SSLproxy is running on by diverting packets to remote listening programs too. For example, given the following proxy specification: https 127.0.0.1 8443 up:8080 ua:192.168.0.1 ra:192.168.1.1 - The `ua` option instructs SSLproxy to divert packets to 192.168.0.1:8080, instead of 127.0.0.1:8080 as in the previous proxyspec example. - The `ra` option instructs SSLproxy to listen for returned packets from the program on 192.168.1.1, instead of 127.0.0.1 as in the previous SSLproxy line. Accordingly, the SSLproxy line now becomes (notice the first IP address): SSLproxy: [192.168.1.1]:34649,[192.168.3.24]:47286,[192.168.111.130]:443,s And a listening program should be running at address 192.168.0.1 on port 8080. So, the listening program can be running on a machine anywhere in the world. Since the packets between SSLproxy and the listening program are always unencrypted, you should be careful while using such a setup. ### Protocols #### Supported protocols SSLproxy supports plain TCP, plain SSL, HTTP, HTTPS, POP3, POP3S, SMTP, and SMTPS connections over both IPv4 and IPv6. It also has the ability to dynamically upgrade plain TCP to SSL in order to generically support SMTP STARTTLS and similar upgrade mechanisms. Depending on the version of OpenSSL, SSLproxy supports SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3, and optionally SSL 2.0 as well. SSLproxy supports Server Name Indication (SNI), but not Encrypted SNI in TLS 1.3. It is able to work with RSA, DSA and ECDSA keys and DHE and ECDHE cipher suites. The following features of SSLproxy are IPv4 only: - Divert addresses for listening programs in proxyspecs - SSLproxy return addresses dynamically assigned to connections - IP addresses in the ua and ra options - IP and ethernet addresses of clients in user authentication - Target IP and ethernet addresses in mirror logging #### OCSP, HPKP, HSTS, Upgrade et al. SSLproxy implements a number of defences against mechanisms which would normally prevent MitM attacks or make them more difficult. SSLproxy can deny OCSP requests in a generic way. For HTTP and HTTPS connections, SSLproxy mangles headers to prevent server-instructed public key pinning (HPKP), avoid strict transport security restrictions (HSTS), avoid Certificate Transparency enforcement (Expect-CT) and prevent switching to QUIC/SPDY, HTTP/2 or WebSockets (Upgrade, Alternate Protocols). HTTP compression, encodings and keep-alive are disabled to make the logs more readable. Another reason to disable persistent connections is to reduce file descriptor usage. Accordingly, connections are closed if they remain idle for a certain period of time. The default timeout is 120 seconds, which can be configured by the ConnIdleTimeout option. #### Protocol validation Protocol validation makes sure the traffic handled by a proxyspec is using the protocol specified in that proxyspec. If a connection cannot pass protocol validation, it is terminated. To enable protocol validation, the ValidateProto option can be defined globally, per-proxyspec, or per-connection using filtering rules. This feature currently supports HTTP, POP3, and SMTP protocols. SSLproxy uses only client requests for protocol validation. However, it also validates SMTP responses until it starts processing the packets from the client. If there is no excessive fragmentation, the first couple of packets in the connection should be enough for validating protocols. ### Certificates #### Certificate forging For SSL and HTTPS connections, SSLproxy generates and signs forged X509v3 certificates on-the-fly, mimicking the original server certificate's subject DN, subjectAltName extension and other characteristics. SSLproxy has the ability to use existing certificates of which the private key is available, instead of generating forged ones. SSLproxy supports NULL-prefix CN certificates but otherwise does not implement exploits against specific certificate verification vulnerabilities in SSL/TLS stacks. #### Certificate verification SSLproxy verifies upstream certificates by default. If the verification fails, the connection is terminated immediately. This is in contrast to SSLsplit, because in order to maximize the chances that a connection can be successfully split, SSLsplit accepts all certificates by default, including self-signed ones. See [The Risks of SSL Inspection](https://insights.sei.cmu.edu/cert/2015/03/the-risks-of-ssl-inspection.html) for the reasons for this difference. You can enable or disable this feature by the VerifyPeer option, which can be defined globally, per-proxyspec, or per-connection using filtering rules. #### Client certificates SSLproxy uses the certificate and key from the pemfiles configured by the ClientCert and ClientKey options when the destination requests client certificates. These options can be defined globally, per-proxyspec, or per-connection using filtering rules. Alternatively, you can use Pass filtering rules to pass through certain destinations requesting client certificates. ### User authentication If the UserAuth option is enabled, SSLproxy requires network users to log in to the system to establish connections to the external network. SSLproxy determines the user owner of a connection using a `users` table in an SQLite3 database configured by the UserDBPath option. The users table should be created using the following SQL statement: CREATE TABLE USERS( IP CHAR(45) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, USER CHAR(31) NOT NULL, ETHER CHAR(17) NOT NULL, ATIME INT NOT NULL, DESC CHAR(50) ); SSLproxy does not create this users table or the database file by itself, nor does it log users in or out. So the database file with the users table should already exist at the location pointed to by the UserDBPath option. An external program should log users in and out on the users table. The external program should fill out all the fields in user records, except perhaps for the DESC field, which can be left blank. When SSLproxy accepts a connection, - It searches the client IP address of the connection in the users table. If the client IP address is not in the users table, the connection is redirected to a login page configured by the UserAuthURL option. - If SSLproxy finds a user record for the client IP address in the users table, it obtains the ethernet address of the client IP address from the arp cache of the system, and compares it with the value in the user record for that IP address. If the client IP address is not in the arp cache, or the ethernet addresses do not match, the connection is redirected to the login page. - If the ethernet addresses match, SSLproxy compares the atime value in the user record with the current system time. If the difference is greater than the value configured by the UserTimeout option, the connection is redirected to the login page. If the connection passes all these checks, SSLproxy proceeds with establishing the connection. The atime of the IP address in the users table is updated with the system time while the connection is being terminated. Since this atime update is executed using a privsep command, it is expensive. So, to reduce the frequency of such updates, it is deferred until after the user idle time is more than half of the timeout period. If a description text is provided in the DESC field, it can be used with filtering rules to treat the user logged in from different locations, i.e. from different client IP addresses, differently. If the UserAuth option is enabled, the user owner of the connection is appended at the end of the SSLproxy line, so that the listening program can parse and use this information in its logic and/or logging: SSLproxy: [127.0.0.1]:34649,[192.168.3.24]:47286,[192.168.111.130]:443,s,soner The user authentication feature is currently available on OpenBSD and Linux only. ### Filtering rules SSLproxy can divert, split, pass, block, or match connections based on filtering rules. Filtering rules can be defined globally and/or per-proxyspec. - `Divert` action diverts packets to the listening program, allowing SSL inspection by the listening program and content logging of packets - `Split` action splits the connection but does not divert packets to the listening program, effectively disabling SSL inspection by the listening program, but allowing content logging of packets - `Pass` action passes the connection through by engaging passthrough mode, effectively disabling SSL inspection and content logging of packets - `Block` action terminates the connection - `Match` action specifies log actions and/or connection options for the connection without changing its filter action SSLproxy supports one line and structured filtering rules. The syntax of one line filtering rules is as follows: (Divert|Split|Pass|Block|Match) ([from ( user (username[*]|$macro|*) [desc (desc[*]|$macro|*)]| desc (desc[*]|$macro|*)| ip (clientip[*]|$macro|*)| *)] [to ( (sni (servername[*]|$macro|*)| cn (commonname[*]|$macro|*)| host (host[*]|$macro|*)| uri (uri[*]|$macro|*)| ip (serverip[*]|$macro|*)) [port (serverport[*]|$macro|*)]| port (serverport[*]|$macro|*)| *)] [log ([[!]connect] [[!]master] [[!]cert] [[!]content] [[!]pcap] [[!]mirror] [$macro]|[!]*)] |*) [# comment] The syntax of structured filtering rules is as follows, and they can configure connection options too: FilterRule { Action (Divert|Split|Pass|Block|Match) # From User (username[*]|$macro|*) # inline Desc (desc[*]|$macro|*) # comments SrcIp (clientip[*]|$macro|*) # allowed # To SNI (servername[*]|$macro|*) CN (commonname[*]|$macro|*) Host (host[*]|$macro|*) URI (uri[*]|$macro|*) DstIp (serverip[*]|$macro|*) DstPort (serverport[*]|$macro|*) # Multiple Log lines allowed Log ([[!]connect] [[!]master] [[!]cert] [[!]content] [[!]pcap] [[!]mirror] [$macro]|[!]*) ReconnectSSL (yes|no) # Connection options Passthrough (yes|no) DenyOCSP (yes|no) CACert ca.crt CAKey ca.key ClientCert client.crt ClientKey client.key CAChain chain.crt LeafCRLURL http://example.com/example.crl DHGroupParams dh.pem ECDHCurve prime256v1 SSLCompression (yes|no) ForceSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) DisableSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) EnableSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) MinSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) MaxSSLProto (ssl2|ssl3|tls10|tls11|tls12|tls13) Ciphers MEDIUM:HIGH CipherSuites TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 VerifyPeer (yes|no) AllowWrongHost (yes|no) RemoveHTTPAcceptEncoding (yes|no) RemoveHTTPReferer (yes|no) MaxHTTPHeaderSize 8192 ValidateProto (yes|no) UserAuth (yes|no) UserTimeout 300 UserAuthURL https://192.168.0.1/userdblogin.php } The specification of which connections a filtering rule will be applied to is achieved by the `from` and `to` parts of the filtering rule and by the proxyspec that the rule is defined for. - The `from` part of a rule defines source filter based on client IP address, user and/or description, or `*` for all. - The `to` part defines destination filter based on server IP and/or port, SNI or Common Names of SSL connections, Host or URI fields in HTTP Request headers, or `*` for all. + Dst Host type of rules use the `ip` site field + SSL type of rules use the `sni` or `cn` site field + HTTP type of rules use the `host` or `uri` site field + All rule types can use the `port` field - The proxyspec handling the connection defines the protocol filter for the connection. If and how a connection should be logged is specified using the `log` or `Log` part of one line or structured filtering rules, respectively: - `connect` enables logging connection information to connect log file - `master` enables logging of master keys - `cert` enables logging of generated certificates - `content` enables logging packet contents to content log file - `pcap` enables writing packets to pcap file - `mirror` enables mirroring packets to mirror interface or target You can add a negation prefix `!` to a log action to disable that logging. Structured filtering rules can also specify connection options to be selectively applied to matching connections, not just globally or per-proxyspec. One line filtering rules cannot specify connection options. For example, if the following rules are defined in a structured HTTPS proxyspec, Split from user soner desc notebook to sni example.com log content Pass from user soner desc android to cn .fbcdn.net* The first filtering rule above splits but does not divert HTTPS connections from the user `soner` who has logged in with the description `notebook` to SSL sites with the SNI of `example.com`. Also, the rule specifies that the packet contents of the matching connection be written to content log file configured globally. The second rule passes through HTTPS connections from the user `soner` who has logged in with the description `android` to SSL sites with the Common Names containing the substring `.fbcdn.net` anywhere in it (notice the asterisk at the end). Since connection contents cannot be written to log files in passthrough mode, the rule does not specify any content log action. The default filter action is Divert. So, if those are the only filtering rules in that proxyspec, the other connections are diverted to the listening program specified in that proxyspec, without writing any logs. If you want to enable, say, connect logging for the other connections handled by that proxyspec, without changing their default Divert filter action, you can add a third filtering rule to that proxyspec: Match * log connect Note that the second example above is a filtering rule you can use to resolve one of the certificate issues preventing the Facebook application on Android smartphones to connect to the Internet from behind sslproxy. Filtering rules are applied based on certain precedence orders: - More specific rules have higher precedence. Log actions increase rule precedence too. - The precedence of filter types is as HTTP > SSL > Dst Host. Because, the application order of filter types is as Dst Host > SSL > HTTP, and a filter type can override the actions of a preceding filter type. - The precedence of filter actions is as Divert > Split > Pass > Block. This is only for the same type of filtering rules. - The precedence of site fields is as sni > cn for SSL filter and host > uri for HTTP filter. For example, the pass action of a Dst Host filter rule is taken before the split action of an SSL filter rule with the same from definition, due to the precedence order of filter types. Or, the pass action of a rule with sni site field is taken before the split action of the same rule with cn site field, due to the precedence order of site fields. Pass and Block filter actions are deferred until the last moment they can be applied to a connection, so that Divert and Split filter actions can override them. In terms of possible filter actions, - Dst Host filtering rules can take all of the filter and log actions. - SSL filtering rules can take all of the filter and log actions. - HTTP filtering rules can take match and block filter actions, can keep enabled divert and split modes, but cannot take pass action. Also, HTTP filtering rules can only disable logging. Log actions do not configure any loggers. Global loggers for respective log actions should have been configured for those log actions to have any effect. If no filtering rules are defined for a proxyspec, all log actions for that proxyspec are enabled. Otherwise, all log actions are disabled, and filtering rules should enable them specifically. To increase rule reuse, one or more of SNI, CN, Host, URI, and DstIp site fields can be specified in the same structured filtering rule. Connection options specified in a structured filtering rule can have any effect only if the rule matches the connection before global or proxyspec connection options are applied. Otherwise, the global or proxyspec connection options already applied to a connection cannot be overriden by the connection options specified in the matching structured filtering rule. For example, SSL options of a connection cannot be changed after the SSL connection is established. So, normally SSL type of rules cannot modify SSL options of a connection, but you can use the ReconnectSSL option to reconnect the server side of an SSL connection to enforce the SSL options in the SSL type of filtering rules. In other words, the ReconnectSSL option allows for using the SNI and CN fields in stuctured filtering rules to match SSL connections and change their SSL configuration. Macro expansion is supported. The `Define` option can be used for defining macros to be used in filtering rules. Macro names must start with a `$` sign. The macro name must be followed by words separated by spaces. You can append an asterisk `*` to the fields in filtering rules for substring matching. Otherwise, the filter searches for an exact match with the field in the rule. The filter uses B-trees for exact string matching and Aho-Corasick machines for substring matching. The ordering of filtering rules is important. The ordering of from, to, and log parts of one line filtering rules is not important. The ordering of log actions is not important. If the UserAuth option is disabled, only client IP addresses can be used in the from part of filtering rules. #### Excluding sites from SSL inspection PassSite option is a special form of Pass filtering rule. PassSite rules can be written as Pass filtering rules. The PassSite option will be deprecated in favor of filtering rules in the future. PassSite option allows certain SSL sites to be excluded from SSL inspection. If a PassSite rule matches the SNI or Common Names in the SSL certificate of a connection, the connection is passed through the proxy without being diverted to the listening program. SSLproxy engages the Passthrough mode for that purpose. For example, sites requiring client authentication can be added as PassSite rules. Per-site filters can be defined using client IP addresses, users, and description. If the UserAuth option is disabled, only client IP addresses can be used in PassSite filters. Multiple sites can be defined, one on each line. PassSite rules can search for exact or substring matches, but do not support macro expansion. #### User control lists User control lists can be implemented using filtering rules. The DivertUsers and PassUsers options will be deprecated in favor of filtering rules in the future. DivertUsers and PassUsers options can be used to divert, pass through, or block users. - If neither DivertUsers nor PassUsers is defined, all users are diverted to listening programs. - Connections from users in DivertUsers, if defined, are diverted to listening programs. - Connections from users in PassUsers, if defined, are simply passed through to their original destinations. SSLproxy engages the Passthrough mode for that purpose. - If both DivertUsers and PassUsers are defined, users not listed in either of the lists are blocked. SSLproxy simply terminates their connections. - If *no* DivertUsers list is defined, only users *not* listed in PassUsers are diverted to listening programs. These user control lists can be defined globally or per-proxyspec. User control lists do not support macro expansion. ### Logging Logging options include connect and content log files as well as PCAP files and mirroring decrypted traffic to a network interface. Additionally, certificates, master secrets and local process information can be logged. Filtering rules can selectively modify connection logging. See the manual pages `sslproxy(1)` and `sslproxy.conf(5)` for details on using SSLproxy, setting up the various NAT engines, and for examples. ## Requirements SSLproxy depends on the OpenSSL, libevent 2.x, libpcap, libnet 1.1.x, and sqlite3 libraries by default. Libpcap and libnet are not needed if the mirroring feature is omitted. Sqlite3 is not needed if the user authentication feature is omitted. The build depends on GNU make and a POSIX.2 environment in `PATH`. If available, pkg-config is used to locate and configure the dependencies. The optional unit tests depend on the check library. The optional end-to-end tests depend on the [TestProxy](https://github.com/sonertari/TestProxy) tool, and are supported on Linux only. SSLproxy currently supports the following operating systems and NAT mechanisms: - FreeBSD: pf rdr and divert-to, ipfw fwd, ipfilter rdr - OpenBSD: pf rdr-to and divert-to - Linux: netfilter REDIRECT and TPROXY - Mac OS X: pf rdr and ipfw fwd Support for local process information (`-i`) is currently available on Mac OS X and FreeBSD. SSL/TLS features and compatibility greatly depend on the version of OpenSSL linked against. For optimal results, use a recent release of OpenSSL or LibreSSL. ## Installation With the requirements above available, run: make make test # optional unit and e2e tests make sudotest # optional unit tests requiring privileges make install # optional install Dependencies are autoconfigured using pkg-config. If dependencies are not picked up and fixing `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` does not help, you can specify their respective locations manually by setting `OPENSSL_BASE`, `LIBEVENT_BASE`, `LIBPCAP_BASE`, `LIBNET_BASE`, `SQLITE_BASE` and/or `CHECK_BASE` to the respective prefixes. You can override the default install prefix (`/usr/local`) by setting `PREFIX`. For more build options and build-time defaults see [`main.mk`](Mk/main.mk) and [`defaults.h`](src/defaults.h). ## Documentation See the manual pages `sslproxy(1)` and `sslproxy.conf(5)` for user documentation.
