All-in-one HTTP reverse proxy with built-in tools
Zoraxy is a Go‑based reverse proxy offering HTTP/2, WebSocket, TLS/SSL, load balancing, ACME automation, and a suite of network utilities for home labs and small‑scale deployments.
Zoraxy is a Go‑written reverse proxy that consolidates web routing, TLS termination, load balancing, and a suite of networking utilities into a single binary. It supports HTTP/2, automatic WebSocket forwarding, ACME‑based certificate issuance (including DNS‑01 challenges), and granular access controls such as basic auth, IP/country blacklists, and custom headers. The built‑in monitor, web‑SSH terminal, and plugins make it suitable for hobbyist homelabs, small‑business gateways, and developers who need quick, scriptable deployments.
The server runs on Linux, Windows, and ARM platforms with a simple ./zoraxy -port=:8000 command, and pre‑compiled binaries are available for amd64 and arm64. Docker users can leverage the provided container configuration. Advanced modes include a no‑auth option for integration behind an existing permission layer and a plugin system for extending functionality. Configuration is primarily flag‑driven, with optional external permission management and optional fast‑geoip lookup for high‑speed location filtering.
When teams consider Zoraxy, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Managed load balancer service that automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets to improve availability
Fully managed layer-4 load balancing service for distributing network traffic across multiple VMs or services in Azure
Edge load balancing with real-time health checks and failover.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Unified HTTPS for multiple Docker containers
Single domain with automatic certificate renewal routes traffic to each container
Legacy service port aggregation
Seamless HTTP/2 forwarding and WebSocket support for services on different ports
Browser‑based remote shell
Secure web‑SSH terminal provides Linux command access without extra client software
Geographic traffic blocking
Country‑level blacklist protects services from unwanted or malicious sources
Use the -autorenew flag and configure ACME settings; Zoraxy will obtain and renew certificates via Let's Encrypt.
Yes, a Dockerfile and example compose setup are provided in the /docker folder.
The management UI is web‑based and reachable on the configured port (default :8000).
Linux/amd64, Linux/arm64, Linux/armv6, and Linux/386 are supported.
Start the server with -noauth=true, but only in trusted environments or behind another auth proxy.
