Envoy Proxy as Explicit proxy

Question

I am trying to configure Envoy as an explicit proxy to handle connect, tried using config given at https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/de757584e65da842dee5bddee3893a66b9a6219c/configs/terminate_connect.v3.yaml

is there any example of configuring Envoy as an explicit proxy?

I was able to make it work with dynamic forward proxy cluster. Here is the sample config:

admin:
  access_log_path: /tmp/admin_access.log
  address:
    socket_address:
      protocol: TCP
      address: 127.0.0.1
      port_value: 9901
static_resources:
  listeners:
  - name: listener_0
    address:
      socket_address:
        protocol: TCP
        address: 0.0.0.0
        port_value: 10000

              routes:
              - match:
                  prefix: "/force-host-rewrite"
                route:
                  cluster: dynamic_forward_proxy_cluster
