Reverse Proxy

[Shivam]

How would you go about setting up a proxy , TCP , HTTP , HTTPS

You might want to state what you are trying to do as their is multiple ways of doing such.

 

[splitice]

There are many ways: HAProxy, Nginx, IPTables (I would call this a Transparent Proxy), etc.

There is no shortage of software to implement a basic reverse proxy.

Just to extrapolate from your statement, what is it you want to achieve? Have you tried searching for that?

Hey, 

Sorry for my basic statement above i was asking about setting up an api in whmcs for these specific proxies to make it instant. However i've managed to work my ass off and find a way using HAProxy i've created a panel in which you'll be able to order dedicated ip's and ofc instant activation! pretty much a bit like solusvm started working on a reseller system for proxies. 

So far so good , just need to research about HTTP proxies now.

Sounds like an interesting model / business / something I might have a use for... Tell us more when you are ready

Congrats on the blatant copy of my signature. 

 

However your project actually sounds pretty cool so good luck with it!

 

[Shivam]

Yeah i copied it sorry, i don't mind removing it i just liked your colors and the fact that it stands out

 

[Shivam]

Update : i've decided to get rid of the panel and implement it into whmcs itself, so that a pop up comes up where you edit the proxy.

For example , 

TCP Proxy

IP : Your one 

Port : Your one

Then You get your DDOS Protected IP and Port Given 

For HTTP Proxy, 

IP : Your one

Website : Your One

Sub-domains : if you have some you can add.

Its pretty basic at the moment but hope for more to come soon!

Plans : 

Bring in more locations ,

We have Canada , will have france shortly,

Probably get a ddos protected server in Las Vegas & New York and probably somewhere in india to give more options.

Instant proxies & the proxy api etc will be online tomorrow really excited hopefully everything works out and i don't run into any problems.  

 

[sshgroup]

use pfsense , got really easy gui and instead have goooooood documention about anything

 

[ATSLarry]

When is someone going to write a tutorial for one of these?  I have taken a look at several of the proxies and there is no good documentation anywhere and it's highly confusing.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Reverse proxy in Nginx is at entry level approach super simple:


location /some/path/ {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
}


localhost:8000 = IP or name of resource.  This can be on same box, same network or a server elsewhere entirely.  I use to for instance have a tunnel to a remote server mapped to a localhost port that I fronted with Nginx.


location /some/path/ = the URL part you want to proxy to other resource.  This can be a per directory path or you can have whole site reverse proxied:


location /




There are other enhanced features to reverse proxy like buffers and caching.
