Summary

This guide details advanced networking techniques to optimize routing and security within modern environments, integrating robust tools like TCP/UDP interception and TLS protocols. By leveraging per-policy traffic matching, CLI tools, and intelligent detection profiles, administrators can effectively route and re-route traffic dynamically, utilizing DNAT and load-balance mechanisms to ensure high availability while minimizing bandwidth waste.

The system incorporates robust security features such as L3 and L4 header inspections, certificate-based enrollment via smithproxy, and a comprehensive TLS inspection tool designed to intercept routed traffic locally and on the network perimeter. This infrastructure handles traffic switching for DNS, TLS, and SOCKS proxy requests with sophisticated policies that support GRE limited UDP sockets and ROTED PCAP files. Additionally, the tool emits intercepted traffic to remote workstations and provides new tools to automate CA enrollment and help with certificate enrollment needs for systems without existing profiles.

Users can leverage built-in tools for CA and certificate enrollment, and a specialized `play` tool for replays captures over the network featuring many cool features. These capabilities allow administrators to configure policy based traffic matching similar to modern firewalls, ensuring that locally-originated traffic and SOCKS proxy requests are configured correctly. Through this system, traffic is re-route DNAT and load-balanced based on source-IP and inspectable L3 or L4 header data, offering an insightful CLI with configuration control and an HTTP API to manage configuration options. New capabilities in 0.9.31 make it easy to export intercepted traffic to rotated pcap files, or to emit it to remote workstations, providing a unified solution for inspecting TLS and DNS traffic.
