glider is a forward proxy with multiple protocols support, and also a dns/dhcp server with ipset management features(like dnsmasq).
we can set up local listeners as proxy servers, and forward requests to internet via forwarders.
|Forwarder ----------------->|
Listener --> | | Internet
|Forwarder --> Forwarder->...|
- Act as both proxy client and proxy server(protocol converter)
- Flexible proxy & protocol chains
- Load balancing with the following scheduling algorithm:
- rr: round robin
- ha: high availability
- lha: latency based high availability
- dh: destination hashing
- Rule & priority based forwarder choosing: Config Examples
- DNS forwarding server:
- dns over proxy
- force upstream querying by tcp
- association rules between dns and forwarder choosing
- association rules between dns and ipset
- dns cache support
- custom dns record
- IPSet management (linux kernel version >= 2.6.32):
- add ip/cidrs from rule files on startup
- add resolved ips for domains from rule files by dns forwarding server
- Serve http and socks5 on the same port
- Periodical availability checking for forwarders
- Send requests from specific local ip/interface
- Services:
- dhcpd: a simple dhcp server that can run in failover mode
