TCP -TLS Redirection

Hi Team ,

I want to do a tcp to tls proxy. we need to communicate to apple server
via tls (tcp over ssl). our server does not have internet access so we
need to use a proxy server that has internet access which can

  • either accept the tcp communication and do a tls communication
    with apns. in this case our server just need to send data over tcp to
    proxy server without any SSL.

  • our server can send data over tls, if proxy server can do a
    transparent redirection.

we have tried nginx, it is able to do tcp to tcp redirection but nginx
is not allowing ssl directive to be specified in the upstream block of
tcp configuration.

any help in this direction will be greatly appreciated. i am giving
below the tcp configuration in nginx configuration:

tcp {

upstream cluster {
    server 127.0.0.1:9521;
}

server {
    listen 127.0.0.1:5894;
    access_log logs/tcp_access.log

    so_keepalive off;
    timeout 60000;
    server_name Proxy;

    proxy_pass cluster;
}

}

Please give the solution.

Hi,

not allowing ssl directive to be specified in the upstream block of tcp
configuration.

I think haproxy 1.5 is more suited to do this kind of configurations,
not
sure what nginx can do out of the box.

if proxy server can do a transparent redirection.

There is no such thing as “redirection” in TCP. What you mean is
transparent
proxying.
