Hey, now we are on level 4!

Fourth is a layer 4 proxy implemented by Rust to listen on specific ports and transfer data to remote addresses according to configuration.

Features

  • Listen on specific port and proxy to local or remote port
  • SNI-based rule without terminating TLS connection

Installation

To gain best performance on your computer's architecture, please consider build the source code. First, you may need Rust tool chain.

$ cd fourth
$ cargo build --release

Binary file will be generated at target/release/fourth, or you can use cargo install --path . to install.

Configuration

Fourth will read yaml format configuration file from /etc/fourth/config.yaml, here is an example:

  example_server:
    listen:
      - "0.0.0.0:443"

    tls: true # Enable TLS features like SNI
    sni:
      proxy.example.com: proxy
      www.example.com: nginx
