Socketwrap
Add PROXY protocol. v1 or v2 support to nodejs sockets. IPv4 and IPv6 protocols supported
History
This module is a fork of original proxywrap by Josh Dague, José Moreira and Short-io/proxywrap. Those projects all relies on hooking/rewriting nodejs servers. This module implement a simplier async "socket validation" callback policy.
This module validate a newly opened nodejs socket, automatically parses the PROXY headers and resets socket.remoteAddress
and socket.remotePort
so that they have the correct values. Then trigger a simple callback
This module wraps node's various Server
interfaces so that they are compatible with the
This module is especially useful if you need to get the client IP address when you're behind an AWS ELB in TCP mode.
Installing
npm install --save socketwrap
Usage
const net = require('net')
var {socketwrap, override} = require('socketwrap');
var srv = new net.Server( async (socket) {
let {remoteAddress, remotePort} = await socketwrap(socket);
override(socket, {remoteAddress, remotePort}); //you might want to deal with that in another way
socket.pipe(somedest);
console.log("IP = %s:%d", socket.remoteAddress, socket.remotePort);
});
srv.listen( 80 )
This also adds to all your sockets the properties:
socket.clientAddress
- The IP Address that connected to your PROXY.socket.clientPort
- The Port used by who connected to your PROXY.socket.proxyAddress
- The IP Address exposed on Client <-> Proxy side.socket.proxyPort
- The Port exposed on Client <-> Proxy side. Usefull for detecting SSL on AWS ELB.socket.remoteAddress
[optional] - Same assocket.clientAddress
, used for compability proposes.socket.remotePort
[optional] - Same assocket.clientPort
, used for compability proposes.
Warning: By default, all traffic to your proxied server MUST use the PROXY protocol. If the first five bytes received aren't PROXY
, the connection will be dropped. Obviously, the node server accepting PROXY connections should not be exposed directly to the internet; only the proxy (whether ELB, HAProxy, or something else) should be able to connect to node.
API
