How to run yastack/envoy-proxy as transparent forward proxy

[freak82]

Hi there,

We have transparent HTTP forward proxy which runs on standard Linux. However, we are trying to find more performant alternatives.

We would like to test/benchmark the yastack/envoy-proxy when running as transparent forward proxy. We would like to test the simplest possible configuration to see the raw performance without any additional features turned ON.

So, here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to run yastack/envoy-proxy in such mode?
2. Can you suggest the best configuration for such scenario?
3. Do you have some observations how much traffic or requests per second the yastack/envoy-proxy can handle and with what configuration?

Thanks,
Pavel.
