Performance and Suricata integration

Open inbum97 opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding the performance and integration of SSLproxy: Performance and Throughput:

  • Is SSLproxy suitable for handling industry-level traffic loads?
  • Is there any average throughput number or benchmark that SSLproxy provides based on real-life traffic conditions?

Integration with Suricata IDS/IPS:

  • When integrating SSLproxy with Suricata, is a bridge program required?
  • Given that Suricata does not support true bidirectional mode, how is this typically handled in practice?

Thank you.

I don't have throughput numbers. Web traffic slows down considerably if SSLproxy is in between, as expected. So, you need to test it yourself with the actual traffic you have.

No Suricata support (yet?). See https://github.com/sonertari/SSLproxy/issues/77
