mles-webproxy

mles-webproxy is deprecated in favor of Mles v2 and will be obsolete from the beginning of year 2024.

mles-webproxy is an Mles WebSocket proxy service for Mles WebSocket protocols, like MlesTalk. It receives traffic over TLS and forwards it transformed to AES towards Mles server (and vice versa).

Mles WebProxy receives traffic over TLS. In case of Mles WebSocket protocol, the connection is upgraded and messages forwarded transformed to AES towards configured Mles server (and vice versa).

Please do end-to-end encrypt the data you send anyway. For more details, please check the Mles specifications.

  3. Open port 80 and 443 of your firewall for Mles WebSocket protocol and Let's Encrypt certificates

    • default ports 80 and 443 need root privileges
