24 alternatives to A dynamic key-value IP allowlist for Nginx
I am currently working on a larger project that needs a short-lived HTTP "auth" based on a separate, out-of-band authentication process. Since every allowed IP only needs to be allowed for a few minutes at a time on specific server names, I created this project to solve that. It should work with any Redis-compatible database. For the docker-compose example, I used valkey. This is mostly useful if you have multiple domains that you want to control access to. If you want to allow 1.1.1.1 to mywebsite.com and securesite.com, and 2.2.2.2 to securesite.com and anothersite.org for certain TTLs,…

Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs. The backend is written in Rust and pulls BGP data every 8 hours from the RIPE RIS project to build up a routing table and also adds geolocation information. The frontend is using React and Tailwind. Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.

I am Abdullah from IPinfo. We have finally launched our API service that supports an unlimited amount of requests to fetch IP to Country and ASN database. It is free to use. https://ipinfo.io/lite Try out this token for the next several to check out the API service: a6c2e5328296f5 https://api.ipinfo.io/lite/8.8.8.8?token=a6c2e5328296f5 https://api.ipinfo.io/lite/me?token=a6c2e5328296f5 - The API system is built using Node.js from the ground up but we are currently moving our backend to Rust. We processed over 2 trillion requests last…

We launched an API for custom hostnames today. A simple HTTP post with a hostname gets a temp hostname with CNAME/a record instructions, as soon as DNS is setup we issue SSL and start accepting traffic for that hostname. It's the quickest way we know of to provision custom hostnames: https://fly.io/mix/custom-hostnames/ When we started building Fly, we figured it was too late to "make SSL easy and the customers will come". Lets Encrypt changed the world, and we knew many companies rolling their own SSL support with nginx, Traefik, etc, etc. It seemed like a…

Hi! I am sharing this because it may be useful to others. I created a simple Docker image that lets you easily expose a web app running locally on your dev machine to the Internet, via a proxy server. It is a self hosted alternative to something like Ngrok, which is a paid service if you use custom domains. A small server is cheaper than Ngrok (I use Hetzner Cloud and the cheapest server costs me 3€ per month). I use this method in particular to test HTTP verification with Let's Encrypt for a SaaS app running on my Mac. Hope this is useful :) Code:…

I, like Andrej Karpathy, became super frustrated by how annoying it was to deploy projects that were previously an absolute joy to make with Claude Code. That is why I made open-passkey, an MIT licensed passkey repo with support for 33 languages and frameworks (examples included) that makes adding simple secure auth to a project easy. We are also releasing gateway (https://gateway.locke.id) a "backendless" hosted auth server that frontend apps can consume for free so that you can ship a React or Angular app using a CDN like Netlify without needing to configure a server at all. We…

I was setting up tests involving DNS resolution recently, where something like 127.0.0.1.service.foo would have been tremendously useful. Back in the day, I'd have used xip.io - but sadly that service died. Well, every excuse is a good one when it comes to writing a DNS server! Backname.io joins nip.io and sslip.io in the wildcard DNS game.

Hi hackers, I made a simple bash tool to update 'A' records in Cloudflare for users with dynamic IPs. I wanted to have a tool to keep a couple of DNS updated with my homelab dynamic IP so I wrote this very simple bash script. There are tools that already solve this dynamic IP issue, but I find the simplicity of a bash script way more convenient than any tool that needs installation, complex configuration, a Python runtime or whatnot. This will basically run in any system with bash. It is very simple and only updates A records, but it does its job and it solves my needs. It could be improved…

Razix▲5Hey HN! I'm Aditya, and today I'm excited to share Razix. Razix lets you configure custom domains for multi-tenant platforms. It also provides an API so you can integrate it and let your B2B users add their custom domains. It's special to me because this is my first SaaS whose core feature is written in Rust. While building Razix, I: - Created my first reverse proxy server - Learned to issue Let's Encrypt certificates using instant-acme - Learned how TLS and SSL work - And much more All with minimal use of AI.
