Summary

  • Add L4 (TCP, UDP, TLS) service mode documentation to the reverse proxy overview, including service mode descriptions, target properties, port allocation, auto-assigned vs custom ports, and SNI-based port sharing behavior
  • Add header authentication section (Basic Auth, Bearer Token, Custom Header presets) to the authentication page
  • Add access restrictions section (IP CIDR and country-based allow/blocklists) to the authentication page, with correct reference to the Access Control tab in the dashboard
  • Update expose-from-cli page with L4 protocol support, --with-external-port flag, and L4 examples (database tunnel, game server, TLS passthrough)
  • Update access logs page with unified field table covering both HTTP and L4 log entries, deny reason reference, and L4-specific fields (bytes uploaded/downloaded, protocol)
  • Update related page links across custom-domains and expose-from-cli to mention header auth
