FD leak in passthrough mode
I added a few URLs in the passthrough mode. I am noticing that when there is more traffic on the passthrough sites, the open fd count for SSLProxy process keep on increasing rapidly and a time comes when the system is out of file descriptors. Internet stops working until the SSLProxy process is restarted. I am using SSLProxy on openWRT. Anyone else facing this issue?
This might as well be a bug in sslproxy. But we close the file descriptors of the original protocol in protopassthrough_engage(). And the fds of the passthrough connection is closed when it is being terminated. I have checked memory leaks using valgrind, but I am not sure about fds now.
So I think it may be something else. For example, it may be due to the URLs being connected, which may be using persistent connections.
Can you enable the DEBUG_PROXY switch in Mk/main.mk, recompile, and start sslproxy with the -D4 option, which will cause sslproxy to print very verbose debug logs. Perhaps this can help you understand the reason for this issue. You can post those logs here if you want.
