Dynamic TCP/UDP Proxy
Blazingly fast subdomain-based routing with multiple load balancing strategies, and zero-downtime dynamic configuration updates. Full TLS and DTLS support
Powerful Features
Everything you need for intelligent traffic routing
Dynamic Routing
Add, modify, or remove routes without restarting the proxy. Changes take effect immediately with zero downtime.
Subdomain Support
Route traffic based on subdomains. Perfect for multi-tenant applications and microservices architectures.
Load Balancing
Multiple strategies: round-robin, random, least connections, and least load. Choose what fits your needs.
TCP & UDP
Full support for both TCP and UDP protocols. Handle web traffic, game servers, DNS, and more.
Health Checks
Automatic backend health monitoring. Unhealthy servers are removed from rotation automatically.
Real-Time Stats
Monitor connections, traffic, and backend performance with detailed real-time statistics.
REST API
Manage your proxy programmatically with a comprehensive REST API for automation and integration.
High Performance
Optimized for speed with minimal latency overhead. Handle thousands of concurrent connections.
Server Groups
Organize backends into logical groups with independent load balancing strategies and health checks.
Intelligent Routing
Route traffic based on subdomains and protocols
Configuration Example
server_groups:
web_servers:
strategy: round_robin
backends:
- host: 192.168.1.10
port: 8080
weight: 1
- host: 192.168.1.11
port: 8080
weight: 2
api_servers:
strategy: least_connections
backends:
- host: 192.168.1.20
port: 3000
routes:
- subdomain: www.example.com
server_group: web_servers
protocol: tcp
listen_port: 80
- subdomain: api.example.com
server_group: api_servers
protocol: tcp
listen_port: 80Server Groups
Define pools of backend servers with custom load balancing strategies and health check configurations.
Subdomain Routing
Route traffic to different backend groups based on the subdomain in the request.
Weighted Backends
Control traffic distribution with backend weights. Higher weights receive more traffic.
Protocol Support
Configure separate routes for TCP and UDP traffic on the same or different ports.
Load Balancing Strategies
Choose the right strategy for your workload
Round Robin
Distribute requests evenly across all backends in rotation. Simple and effective for most use cases.
Random
Select backends randomly. Good for stateless applications with uniform backend capacity.
Least Connections
Route to the backend with the fewest active connections. Ideal for long-lived connections.
Least Load
Route to the backend with the lowest current load. Best for CPU-intensive workloads.
Built for Performance
Optimized for speed and reliability
Low Latency
Minimal overhead with sub-millisecond latency added to your traffic. Optimized connection handling ensures fast response times.
High Throughput
Handle thousands of concurrent connections with ease. Efficient async I/O ensures maximum throughput.
Zero Downtime
Update configurations, add routes, and modify backends without restarting. Changes apply instantly.
Resource Efficient
Lightweight and efficient. Minimal CPU and memory footprint even under heavy load.
Use Cases
Perfect for various scenarios
🌐 Web Applications
Load balance HTTP/HTTPS traffic across multiple web servers with subdomain-based routing for multi-tenant applications.
🎮 Game Servers
Distribute game traffic across multiple server instances with UDP support and health monitoring.
🔌 Microservices
Route API requests to different microservices based on subdomains or paths with intelligent load balancing.
📡 DNS Services
Load balance DNS queries across multiple DNS servers with UDP protocol support and health checks.
