# TCP mTLS (Client Certificate Required)
#
# The proxy requires TCP clients to present a valid TLS
# certificate signed by the trusted CA. Connections without
# a client cert are rejected at the TLS layer. Plain TCP is
# forwarded to the upstream backend.
#
#   Client -> mTLS -> Praxis :5432 -> TCP -> PostgreSQL :15432
