This plugin enables Caddy webserver to act as a ForwardProxy for http/2.0 and http/1.1 requests (http/1.0 might work, but is untested).
To simply enable forward proxy without authentication just include the forwardproxy
directive in your Caddyfile.
To do more advanced things, you may use expanded syntax:
forwardproxy {
basicauth caddyuser1 0NtCL2JPJBgPPMmlPcJ
basicauth caddyuser2 秘密
ports 80 443
hide_ip
serve_pac proxy.pac
probe_resistance secretlink-7qS4+3dqm.localhost
response_timeout 30
dial_timeout 30
}
Warning: all directives are subject to changes!
- basicauth user password
Sets basic HTTP auth credentials. This directive may be repeated multiple times.
Default: no auth required. - ports integer integer...
Whitelists ports forwardproxy will HTTP CONNECT to.
Default: no restrictions. - hide_ip
If set, forwardproxy will not add user's IP to "Forwarded:" header.
Default: no hiding, "Forwarded: for="useraddress"" will be sent out. - serve_pac path_to_pac_file.pac(optional)
Generate in memory and serve Proxy Auto-Config file on given path. If no path is provided, PAC file will be served at /proxy.pac
Default: no PAC file generated by Caddy (you still can manually create and serve proxy.pac like a regular file) - probe_resistance secretlink.tld(optional)
EXPERIMENTAL, HERE BE DRAGONS.
Attempts to hide the fact that the site is a forwardproxy. Proxy will no longer respond with "407 Proxy Authentication Required" if credentials are incorrect or absent, and will attempt to mimic generic forwardproxy-less Caddy server in other regards.
Not all clients(browsers) are able to be configured to send credentials right away, and only provide credentials after receiving 407. To work around this, we will use a secret link - the only link that will trigger 407 response, prompting browsers to request credentials from users and cache them for the rest of the session.
It is possible to use any top level domain, but for secrecy reasons it is highly recommended to use .localhost.
Probing resistance works(and makes sense) only if basicauth is set up.
Default: no probing resistance. - response_timeout integer
Sets timeout (in seconds) for HTTP requests made by proxy on behalf of users (does not affect CONNECT requests)
Default: no timeout(other timeouts will eventually close the connection). - dial_timeout integer
Sets timeout (in seconds) for establishing TCP connection to target website. Affects all requests.
Default: 20 seconds.
