How to run a simple TLS Proxy?

Hello!
I wanted to run RebexTlsProxy on legacy Windows 7 as a TLS proxy on localhost, without port forwarding. So that programs that can use proxies can connect to TLS-1.3 web servers.
tlsproxy should listen to a port, for example 127.0.0.1:12345 and that’s it.
Can it work like SOCKS or just https?

Applies to: Rebex TLS

I am not sure what you mean by "listen to a port and that’s it" in context of TLS Proxy. Proxies do not just listen and do nothing, they forward traffic by specified rules. In case of TLS Proxy, it can add/modify/remove TLS protection.

It seems that you are asking whether the Rebex TLS Proxy can be used as a SOCKS or HTTP CONNECT proxy.

The answer is unfortunately no. We plan to add support for HTTP CONNECT in the future, but it is not scheduled yet.

There is such a program ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3. It listens to port 8080. I set proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 in the browser. In addition, I imported the certificate into the browser and into the system. After this, the browser was able to work with TLS 1.3 sites.
Is this possible for RebexTlsProxy?

Unfortunately, we are not familiar with ProxHTTPSProxy_TLS_1_3_1_5_220717_PopMenu_3V3.

However, from what you described and from what I have found at https://github.com/wheever/ProxHTTPSProxyMII it seems that it acts as HTTP (CONNECT) Proxy.

Given that, RebexTlsProxy is not able to offer same behavior currently.
