In Short:
Will squid or HAproxy work to reverse proxy non-http traffic?


I have searched and searched for a reverse proxy solution for non-website traffic. TCP but not http, on ports other than 80, 443, 8080, etc. Basically I just need a TCP forwarder that works with multiple TCP servers, WITHOUT webpage caching features.

I do not need or want any webpage caching.

Can squid work as a reverse proxy for TCP traffic without http? The other program I came across in searching was HAproxy. Both programs are for http but I am curious if they would work for TCP servers that do not serve webpages.

Thanks for reading

I'd do this with some kind of loadbalancer.

Linux Virtual Server (free)?
BalanceNG (free for up to 2 sites)?

Any recommendation?

Hi friends,

I experience the same problem now, reverse proxy for non-http protocol. I need a reverse proxy server in DMZ to perform SSL bridging to redirect TCP binary data from Internet client to application server in LAN. Any suggestion? Thanks.
