This is a websocket to tcp proxy, written in node.js. It is dynamic and will proxy to various tcp servers.

npm install wsproxy -g

wsproxy [-p PORT] [-t THREADS (# of threads to spawn)] [-s ENABLE_SSL] [-k KEY_FILE] [-c CERT_FILE]

• -p Port to bind wsProxy to
  • If no port is specified it will default to process.env.PORT or port 5999.
• -a List of allowed servers to proxy to
  • By default wsProxy will proxy to any ip:port, this is a major risk, since malicous users may use your wsProxy server for illegal activity, or any other use other then connecting to your athena server.
  • The list of IP:PORT's should be separate by comma! Ex:

   wsproxy -a 127.0.0.1:6900,127.0.0.1:6121,127.0.0.1:5121

  • Note: Use the same IP's you configured your server address at ROConfig at roBrowser.
• -t Number of cpu cores that wsProxy should use
• -s Enable SSL
  • -k Path to ssl key file
  • -c Path to ssl cert file
• Use wsproxy --help for a list of available commands.

When connecting to this websocket you will give it an IP:PORT uri, for example:

ws://websocket.example.com:5999/127.0.0.1:6900

• You can edit allowed.js to only allow proxy to certain IP:PORT
  • Note: if you pass in the -a or --allow option when starting the wsproxy this file will be ignored.
• We will soon release a version, with better standards for this.

• Simply require and extend current files from the /src folder, once done, require them on wsProxy /index.js.
• BE CAREFUL, MODULES NEED TO BE LIGHTWEIGHT, LIMIT YOURSELF TO SIMPLE I/O OPERATIONS, DON'T BLOCK, AND CREATE LITTLE GARBAGE!
• Don't forget that node.js is single threaded, cpu intensive blocks of code will block the entire proxy!
• Don't create to much garbage, or the garbage collector will also block for extended periods of time, thus creating "lag" for the users.

This was created for and by the roBrowser project.
