Stud is a scalable TLS/SSL termination proxy that unwraps encrypted connections and forwards plaintext traffic to a backend like HAProxy or nginx. It uses a process-per-core model with libev and OpenSSL to handle tens of thousands of concurrent connections efficiently.
Use cases
- terminate TLS connections in front of haproxy or nginx
- offload SSL handshakes from backend servers
- pass client IP to backends via PROXY protocol
- handle tens of thousands of TLS connections on multicore machines
- share SSL session caches across processes or machines
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, high-performance TLS terminator paired with an intelligent backend
- you need PROXY protocol support to preserve client IPs
- you are maintaining a legacy deployment already using stud
When to avoid
- starting a new project - stud is officially abandonware
- you want an actively maintained TLS proxy - use Hitch instead
- you need rich features beyond TLS unwrapping - use nginx or HAProxy directly
