TLStunnel

This is a MirageOS unikernel accepting TLS connections via the public (service) network interface on frontend-port, and proxying them using TCP via the private network interface to backend-ip and backend-port. A client connecting to TLStunnel has to establish a TLS connection, which payload is forwarded to the backend service via TCP.

TLStunnel can be used for load-balancing - using multiple TLStunnel on the frontend doing expensive crypto operations (asymmetrics TLS handshakes and symmetric cryptography) with a single (or multiple) backend-services which communicate via plain TCP.

Security-wise only the TLStunnel needs access to the private key of the X.509 certificate(s). When TLStunnel is configured to do client authentication, only valid clients can access the backend service, limiting the attack surface drastically.

Installation from source

To install this unikernel from source, you need to have opam (>= 2.0.0) and ocaml (>= 4.08.0) installed. Also, mirage is required (>= 4.0.0). Please follow the installation instructions.

The following steps will clone this git repository and compile the unikernel:

$ git clone https://github.com/roburio/tlstunnel.git
$ cd unikernel && mirage configure -t <your-favourite-target>
$ make depend
$ mirage build

Installing as binary

Binaries are available at Reproducible OPAM builds, see Deploying binary MirageOS unikernels and Reproducible MirageOS unikernel builds for details.
