As I own PurpleMaze, an Anti-DDoS solution with rotating proxies, it became clear to me that I needed to find a way of authorizing only the IPs currently in use on customers' servers to prevent them from being scanned. So I developed this Pagent with this in mind.
as the software will be installed on the customer's server, I want to be as transparent as possible about its use. The Pagent is compiled for each client with a different SensitiveVars.cs, depending on the client. The other files remain unchanged.
On startup, the Pagent retrieves the list of IPs from the Master server and adds them to the whitelist of necessary ports, then closes these ports to the rest of the Internet.
PurpleMaze's core servers make a request to the Pagent as soon as a proxy is created or deleted for the server, to add or remove its IP from the whitelist.
Well, even if I don't know why you would want to build it yourself, you can do it by:
- Clone the repo
- Rename
src/SensitiveVars.example.cstosrc/SensitiveVars.csand fill it with your own values - Install DotNet SDK 6.0+
- Run the "build.bat" file (Both Windows and Linux are supported)
- Solutions in
bin/Release/net6.0/linux-x64/publishandbin/Release/net6.0/win-x64/publish
Of course! Don't hesitate to make a PR or contact me on Discord (@m2p_) if you see a possible improvement.
This software was not originally developed with open-source in mind, which explains the lack of commentary and some breaches of standards.
