Reverse Proxy Secure

Overview

This project implements a secure HTTPS reverse proxy using C/Node.js with OpenSSL.
It provides TLS termination, request caching, URL filtering, and structured logging for enterprise-grade use cases.

Objectives

• Terminate TLS connections with OpenSSL
• Forward requests to backend HTTP servers
• Implement in-memory LRU cache for responses
• Filter requests using regex on URLs and headers
• Generate JSON logs for later indexing in Elasticsearch

Architecture

Tech Stack

• C (libevent) / Node.js
• OpenSSL
• Linux

Tasks

1. Accept HTTPS connections and decrypt using OpenSSL
2. Re-route requests to backend servers
3. Add caching layer (LRU)
4. Apply request filtering rules
5. Generate structured logs

Usage

Setup instructions and build/run commands will be provided as the project evolves.
