Required argument for setting the operation mode

Run as forward proxy

Default: False

Run as reverse proxy

Default: False


Options that govern how requests go in and out

Host and/or port to bind to (see --help-bind for details)
JSON file pointing to credentials for the server's identity/ies.
TLS certificate (chain) to present to connecting clients (in PEM format)
TLS key to load that supports the server certificate
Register with a Resource directory

Default: False

--register-as
Endpoint name (with possibly a domain after a dot) to register as
--register-proxy
Ask the RD to serve as a reverse proxy. Note that this is only practical for --unconditional or --pathbased reverse proxies.

Default: False


Sequence of forwarding rules that, if matched by a request, specify a forwarding destination. Destinations can be prefixed to change their behavior: With an '@' sign, they are treated as forward proxies. With a '!' sign, the destination is set as Uri-Host.

If Uri-Host matches NAME, route to DEST
If Uri-Host is anything.NAME, route to DEST
If a requested path starts with PATH, split that part off and route to DEST
Route all requests not previously matched to DEST
