tproxy is a simple TCP routing proxy (layer 7) built on Gevent that lets you configure the routine logic in Python. It's heavily inspired from proxy machine but have some unique features like the pre-fork worker model borrowed to Gunicorn.
tproxy requires Python 2.x >= 2.5. Python 3.x support is planned.
$ pip install gevent $ pip install tproxy
To install from source:
$ git clone git://github.com/benoitc/tproxy.git $ cd tproxy $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python setup.py install
Test your installation by running the command line:
$ tproxy examples/transparent.py
And go on http://127.0.0.1:5000 , you should see the google homepage.
$ tproxy -h
Usage: tproxy [OPTIONS] script_path
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log-file=FILE The log file to write to. [-]
--log-level=LEVEL The granularity of log outputs. [info]
--log-config=FILE The log config file to use. [None]
-n STRING, --name=STRING A base to use with setproctitle for process naming.
[None]
-D, --daemon Daemonize the tproxy process. [False]
-p FILE, --pid=FILE A filename to use for the PID file. [None]
-u USER, --user=USER Switch worker processes to run as this user. [501]
-g GROUP, --group=GROUP
Switch worker process to run as this group. [20]
-m INT, --umask=INT A bit mask for the file mode on files written by
tproxy. [0]
-b ADDRESS, --bind=ADDRESS The socket to bind. [127.0.0.1:8000]
--backlog=INT The maximum number of pending connections. [2048]
--ssl-keyfile=STRING Ssl key file [None]
--ssl-certfile=STRING Ssl ca certs file. contains concatenated
"certification [None]
--ssl-ca-certs=STRING Ssl ca certs file. contains concatenated
"certification [None]
--ssl-cert-reqs=INT Specifies whether a certificate is required from the
other [0]
-w INT, --workers=INT The number of worker process for handling requests. [1]
--worker-connections=INT The maximum number of simultaneous clients per worker.
[1000]
-t INT, --timeout=INT Workers silent for more than this many seconds are
killed and restarted. [30]
QUIT - Graceful shutdown. Stop accepting connections immediatly
and wait until all connections close
TERM - Fast shutdown. Stop accepting and close all conections
after 10s.
INT - Same as TERM
HUP - Graceful reloading. Reload all workers with the new code
in your routing script.
USR2 - Upgrade tproxy on the fly
TTIN - Increase the number of worker from 1
TTOU - Decrease the number of worker from 1

- { "remote:": string or tuple } - String is the host:port of the server that will be proxied.
- { "remote": String, "data": String} - Same as above, but send the given data instead.
- { "remote": String, "data": String, "reply": String} - Same as above, but reply with given data back to the client
- None - Do nothing.
- { "close": True } - Close the connection.
- { "close": String } - Close the connection after sending the String.
- { "file": String } - Return a file specify by the file path and close the connection.
- { "file": String, "reply": String } - Return a file specify by the file path and close the connection.
- { "file": Int, "reply": String} - Same as above but reply with given data back to the client
- { "file": Int } - Return a file specify by its file descriptor
- { "file": Int, "reply": String} - Same as above but reply with given data back to the client
If sendfile API available it will be used to send a file with "file" command.
The file command can have 2 optionnnal parameters:
- offset: argument specifies where to begin in the file.
- nbytes: specifies how many bytes of the file should be sent
To handle ssl for remote connection you can add these optionals arguments:
- ssl: True or False, if you want to connect with ssl
- ssl_args: dict, optionals ssl arguments. Read the ssl documentation for more informations about them.
You can easily handling error by adding a proxy_error function in your script:
def proxy_error(client, e):
pass
This function get the ClientConnection instance (current connection) as first arguments and the error exception in second argument.
Main goal of tproxy is to allows you to route transparently tcp to your applications. But some case you want to do more. For example you need in HTTP 1.1 to change the Host header to make sure remote HTTP server will know what to do if uses virtual hosting.
To do that, add a rewrite_request function in your function to simply rewrite clienrt request and rewrite_response to rewrite the remote response. Both functions take a tproxy.rewrite.RewriteIO instance which is based on io.RawIOBase class.
See the httprewrite.py example for an example of HTTP rewrite.
