sclient.js

Secure Client for exposing TLS (aka SSL) secured services as plain-text connections locally.

Also ideal for multiplexing a single port with multiple protocols using SNI.

Unwrap a TLS connection

$ sclient whatever.com:443 localhost:3000
> [listening] telebit.cloud:443 <= localhost:3000

Connect via Telnet

$ telnet localhost 3000

Connect via netcat (nc)

$ nc telnet localhost 3000

macOS, Linux, Windows

First download and install the current version of node.js

npm install -g sclient

npx sclient example.com:443 localhost:3000
