Listen Fields

listen

==Required==

Listen address.

listen_port

==Required==

Listen port.

tcp_fast_open

Enable tcp fast open for listener.

sniff

Enable sniffing.

See Protocol Sniff for details.

sniff_override_destination

Override the connection destination address with the sniffed domain.

If the domain name is invalid (like tor), this will not work.

domain_strategy

One of prefer_ipv4 prefer_ipv6 ipv4_only ipv6_only.

If set, the requested domain name will be resolved to IP before routing.

If sniff_override_destination is in effect, its value will be taken as a fallback.

udp_timeout

UDP NAT expiration time in seconds, default is 300 (5 minutes).

proxy_protocol

Parse Proxy Protocol in the connection header.
