From 260488e3ed5edcf5a6c1f95806d64e73fc4fc107 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Fisk Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2026 05:54:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Add WithDialer option for custom TCP dialer injection Allow callers to inject a custom dialer function via WithDialer() that flows through to the tlsdialer used by each front. This enables kindling to set a single dialer that automatically applies to all fronted connections.
