Proof-of-Work TCP Load Balancer
Protect your network from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks with our innovative TCP load balancer that leverages a Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm for enhanced security. This open-source solution is designed to distribute incoming TCP traffic across multiple servers while incorporating a PoW challenge to mitigate and deter potential DDoS threats.
Features
-
TCP Load Balancing: Efficiently distribute incoming TCP traffic across a pool of servers, ensuring optimal resource utilization and preventing server overload.
-
Proof-of-Work (PoW) Protection: Integrate a PoW algorithm into the load balancing process to create an additional layer of security. By requiring clients to solve a computational challenge before establishing a connection, the system can identify and filter out malicious traffic associated with DDoS attacks.
-
Customizable PoW Parameters: Fine-tune the PoW parameters to strike a balance between security and performance, allowing you to adapt the system to your specific needs and requirements.
-
Scalability: Easily scale your infrastructure horizontally by adding more servers to the pool. The load balancer dynamically adjusts to accommodate new resources and distribute the load effectively.
-
Logging and Monitoring: Gain insights into the system's performance with comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities. Track connection attempts, PoW validations, and overall system health.
-
Open Source: Access the complete source code to review, modify, and contribute to the project. Collaborate with the community to enhance the load balancer's capabilities and security features.
Getting Started
- Clone the repository.
- Configure the load balancer settings, including PoW parameters and server pool details.
- Build and deploy the load balancer on your network.
- Monitor the system using the provided logging and monitoring tools.
