Hello everyone,

I am trying to route TLS encrypted TCP traffic to a Pod using IngressRouteTCP.  
I need to terminate TLS but then again connect via TLS from Traefik to the backend Pod.

Why?:

- The Client is running outside of Kubnetes
- I am using cert-manager and ACME and http01-Challenge
- The Endpoints (MongoDB Pods) require TLS and present certificates which are only valid for `*.cluster-local`. (ACME cannot validate \*.cluster-local)
- ACME (http01-Challenge) is only able to issue certificates valid for external FQDN (`*.externaldomain.com`)

From what I found [IngressRouteTCP](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/v2.9/routing/providers/kubernetes-crd/#kind-ingressroutetcp) does never use TLS to communicate with the backend Pods.  
When I look at [IngressRoute](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/v2.9/routing/providers/kubernetes-crd/#kind-ingressroute) I find IngressRouteTCP.spec.routes.services.[serversTransport](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/providers/kubernetes-crd/#kind-serverstransport).

This is exactly what I would need in [IngressRouteTCP](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/v2.9/routing/providers/kubernetes-crd/#kind-ingressroutetcp).

Is there really no possibility to use upstream TLS (aka serversTransport) for TCP traffic routed by IngressRouteTCP?

Thanks & best regards,  
J.

No, I used the heart to save it for later, if I move to kubernetes some day, sorry.

I recommend to put a kubernetes tag on your post.

Looks like I can't add any tags after initially posting...  
[@traefik\_moderators](https://community.traefik.io/groups/traefik_moderators) would you please be so kind to add a kubernetes tag? Thanks a lot!
