Zoraxy

Zoraxy is a general-purpose HTTP reverse-proxy and forwarding gateway designed for homelab and self-hosted services. It provides a web UI for configuring proxies, TLS, routing and runtime utilities so users can expose and manage services from a single gateway.

Key Features

• HTTP reverse proxy supporting virtual directories, alias hostnames and custom headers.
• Automatic WebSocket proxying and stream proxy support for TCP/UDP forwarding.
• TLS/SSL management with ACME (Let's Encrypt) support, auto-renew and SNI/SAN certificate handling; includes DNS challenge integrations.
• Load balancing, basic auth, redirection rules and blacklist/whitelist controls (IP/CIDR/country).
• Real-time analytics and uptime monitoring with instant network/visitor statistics and no-reload access control.
• Plugin system and built-in utilities (mDNS scanner, Wake-on-LAN, IP/port scanners, debug forward proxy).
• Web-based SSH terminal for in-browser administration.

Use Cases

• Expose and route multiple self-hosted web apps (home server, NAS, media servers) behind a single, manageable reverse proxy.
• Provide TLS/ACME certificate automation and DNS-challenge workflows for services without manual cert management.
• Monitor service availability and traffic in real time, and run network utilities (scans, WOL) from the gateway UI.

Limitations and Considerations

• Some advanced modules are community-maintained or seeking maintainers (notably ACME integration improvements and an extended logging/analysis module), which may affect feature completeness for large-scale deployments.

Zoraxy is lightweight and targeted at homelab users and small deployments that need a single gateway for routing, TLS and basic observability. It is distributed with prebuilt binaries and Docker artifacts and can be built from source with Go, making it suitable for ARM/SBC and x86 environments.
