Support outbound TLS encryption. #4

Closed derrickburns closed 1 year ago

Since your proxy inspects the traffic, the traffic obviously cannot be encrypted. That is fine for me if I deploy the proxy as a sidecar.

However, my application must be HIPAA compliant. So, I need to encrypt the traffic when it leaves the proxy.

At present, it appears that the proxy does not support outbound TLS encryption. Any plans to support it?

I haven't given TLS any thought at the moment. Though it looks like that would be fairly involved and take more time than I could contribute to a hobby project. Maybe using an external TLS proxy (like stunnel) would be an option?

Closing this, as TLS support is not on the horizon.
