I am currently using "tinyproxy" for some outgoing connections, that positively need to use a proxy. I am also using NGINX as a reverse proxy, mostly as an SSL endpoint and multiplexer, for some incoming connections.
I would like to get rid of "tinyproxy", and have just one running service instead of two.
Officially, NGINX cannot work as a forward proxy, but there exists an out-of-tree extension (ngx_http_proxy_connect_module), that can provide this functionality.
Would it be possible to add this module to OpenWrt? Do you think it could be relatively easy for somebody to build such module themselves?
Thanks!
