proxy-loadbalancer

A round-robin load balancer for HTTP proxies.

This is a simple proxy load balancer that will route requests to a cluster of proxy backends in a round-robin fashion. This makes it easy to connect your clients to a large number of proxy servers without worrying about implementing anything special clientside.

This proxy server will transparently forward HTTPS requests without terminating them, meaning a self-signed certificate is not required. Downstream HTTPS proxy servers are not supported.

Memory usage sits at around 25M under load.

Install

  1. Download the latest release from /releases or run ./build.sh to build the program locally.
  2. cp config.example.yml config.yml
  3. Edit the config.
  4. Start the loadbalancer with ./proxy-loadbalancer --config [path to your config.yml]

Use

You can run your own "public IP delivery server" canihazip https://git.evulid.cc/cyberes/canihazip or use the default api.ipify.org

An example systemd service loadbalancer.service is provided.

The server displays health, stats, info at /json.

=== Proxy Load Balancer ===
Usage of ./proxy-loadbalancer:
  --config [string]
               Path to the config file
  -d, --debug  
               Enable debug mode
  --v          Print version and exit
  -h, --help   Print this help message

Special Headers

The load balancer accepts special headers to control its behavior:

  • Thirdparty-Bypass: don't use any third-party endpoints for this request.
  • Thirdparty-Include-Broken: use all online endpoints for this request, including third-party ones that failed the special test.
