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.

HTTPS proxy servers are not supported.

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]

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.
