Is it possible to create Openshift route to Kafka server deployed in Openshift in order to connect Kafka from local machine using Kafka tool?
There is a Pod (Kafka, Zookeeper),
Service (ports for internal ssl – 9093, no-ssl – 9092 and external ssl – 29093, no-ssl – 29092 connections) and route with termination type “passthrough” trying to access 29093 port.

I’m trying to use Route host and port 443 to connect Kafka via Kafka tool (providing truststore and keystore files path, required passwords) but it fails with timeout error.
It is necessary to add that “oc port-forward 29093:29093” is working fine on the local machine. Also, there is no opportunity to use Strimzi.
