Zoraxy is a general-purpose HTTP reverse proxy and forwarding tool written in Go, managed through a built-in web interface designed for homelabs and self-hosted services. It bundles TLS/ACME certificate automation, WebSocket and TCP/UDP stream proxying, load balancing, access control lists, an uptime monitor, and network utilities into a single deployable binary.
Use cases
- set up a reverse proxy with automatic https for self-hosted services
- route subdomains and virtual directories to different internal servers
- proxy websocket connections without manual configuration
- obtain and auto-renew let's encrypt certificates using dns challenge
- block or allow traffic by country, ip, or cidr range
- forward raw tcp and udp streams to backend hosts
- load balance requests across multiple upstream servers
- monitor uptime of homelab services from one dashboard
When to choose
- you manage a homelab or small self-hosted setup and want a friendly web UI instead of config files
- you need http/2, websocket, and tcp/udp proxying plus acme certificate automation in one tool
- you want settings to apply dynamically without restarting the proxy
- you are migrating from nginx or nginx-proxy-manager and want a simpler beginner-oriented manager
When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested proxy for large-scale enterprise production traffic, where nginx, HAProxy, or Traefik are safer choices
- you require deep config-as-code workflows or native Kubernetes ingress integration
- you need a full-featured web application firewall or advanced L7 security appliance
