Description

Description: Working locally without external load balancer support, so I’m running the following command openssl s_client -crlf -connect localhost:8443

And receiving the following error:

40411FDC01000000:error:8000003D:system library:BIO_connect:Connection refused:crypto/bio/bio_sock2.c:114:calling connect() 40411FDC01000000:error:10000067:BIO routines:BIO_connect:connect error:crypto/bio/bio_sock2.c:116: 40411FDC01000000:error:8000003D:system library:BIO_connect:Connection refused:crypto/bio/bio_sock2.c:114:calling connect() 40411FDC01000000:error:10000067:BIO routines:BIO_connect:connect error:crypto/bio/bio_sock2.c:116: connect:errno=61

I think I am encountering this issue because the doc does not explain:

  • How to configure port 443
  • How to portforward(set up 8443) for users that are testing locally and are not using external load balancer support

Page: https://gateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/tasks/traffic/client-traffic-policy/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the missing documentation parts: how to configure port 443 and how to set up port forwarding (8443) for local testing without external load balancer. Update the relevant page to include step by step instructions.
