Description

• A Proxy server that Relies on Tokio to scale to heavy load via green threads
• Establishes tunnels via HTTP Connect handshake
• Creates short-lived tunnels to provide fairness to all clients
• Uses an optional whitelist or blacklist to restrict requests to si.

Things to Improve

• Read server configuration parameters from a YAML file and replace hardcoded parameters in the code
• Read parameters from command line to select port and max allowed connection limit
• Write end-to-end tests
• Use a DNS resolver and cache IPs of accessed sites
• Replace calls to "tokio::copy(src, dst)" with a custom loop to be able to accurately report the amount of bytes transferred while working with a timeout.
• Stress testing and tweaking to find ideal server parameters around timeouts
