Dracan – Open-source, 1:1 proxy with simple filtering/validation config
If you are tired of using Apache or Nginx to proxy your app and implement validation or limiting you may be interested in this hobbyist project. Thanks for all feedback.
In plain words
Dracan is an open-source proxy tool designed as an alternative to Apache or Nginx for developers who need straightforward request filtering and validation. It operates as a 1:1 proxy and allows users to configure validation and limiting rules through simple configuration files. Intended for hobbyist projects and smaller deployments, it offers a lighter-weight option for those seeking basic proxying capabilities without the complexity of traditional web servers.
