Zoraxy describes itself as:
“General purpose request (reverse) proxy and forwarding tool for networking noobs. Now written in Go!”.
Yet it seems to be packed with goodies and features, such as Geo-IP & Blacklist, ZeroTier controller integrated GAN, IP Scanner, Real Time Stats and even built in Uptime monitor. Addtionally, it can run via a single binary for those who don’t want to rely on Docker. There is also an Unraid Template available from IBRACORP. Lastly the project is under the AGPL license 🌻
I also checked, and saw this was recommended on this community 9months ago, but didn’t seem to get much attraction then. Has anyone tried this yet? It seems like a good alternative to say NGINX proxy manager and am wondering if I should switch, but wanted to hear thoughts first!

I’m very interested in this. I’m a total noob to networking and self-hosting so anything that makes my transition to networking know-how easier is a win. I’d be interested in hearing more discussion from more experienced folk though before I decide between this and Nginx
