ProxyKit is a .NET library for building code-first HTTP reverse proxies as ASP.NET Core middleware, supporting request/response interception, X-Forwarded headers, WebSockets, and load balancing. It is now obsolescent, with Microsoft's YARP recommended as the replacement.

Use cases

• build a reverse proxy in asp.net core
• route requests based on jwt claims
• rewrite proxy request and response headers
• proxy websockets through asp.net core
• embed a reverse proxy in an existing dotnet app
• weighted round robin load balancing in c#

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, code-first reverse proxy embedded in an existing ASP.NET Core app
• you need fine-grained programmatic control over proxied requests and responses
• you are maintaining an existing ProxyKit-based codebase

When to avoid

• starting a new project - use Microsoft's YARP instead
• you need config-driven or feature-rich proxying with active maintenance
• you need guaranteed long-term support, since the project is obsolescent
