goproxy

A Go-based reverse proxy and AWS PrivateLink replacement running as a systemd service on EC2 instances. Includes rate limiting, bot blocking, and dynamic routing based on subdomains and paths.

Features

• Reverse proxy for handling incoming requests
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Bot blocking based on user-agent strings
• Dynamic routing based on subdomains and paths
• Configurable via a YAML configuration file

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dutchdata/goproxy.git
   cd goproxy
   

2. Build the binary:

   go build -o goproxy
   

3. Create a configuration file:

   cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
   

4. Run the service:

   ./goproxy -config config.yaml
   

5. Set up as a systemd service (example: /etc/systemd/system/goproxy.service):

   [Service]
   ExecStart=/home/ec2-user/goproxy/goproxy -config /home/ec2-user/goproxy/config.yaml
   Restart=always
   User=ec2-user
   Group=ec2-user

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable goproxy
   sudo systemctl start goproxy
   

   And to check logs:

   journalctl -u goproxy.service -f
