I've read quite a few SO questions such as this one:
Setup: I have one machine, "A", that can be accessed externally, and server machines, "B", that share an internal network with "A" and aren't exposed to the Internet.
Task: I want to set up a local, bidirectional HTTPS proxy server on "A" that simply reroutes incoming HTTPS packets to "B" and response packets from "B" back out to the source without using open source solutions. Basically a local router.
Problem: It seems to be the consensus that it isn't possible to modify the headers of incoming packets without messing up the CA certs
Questions:
- Is there a clean way to achieve the task?
- How does an everyday, in-your-house router reroute HTTPS packets without messing up the CA certs?
I'm completely new to networking, so bear with me if these are simple questions.
