🖼️ Configuration Example

Basic Setup (Behind HAProxy):

{
  "enableProxyProtocol": true,
  "proxyServerIPs": ["YOUR_HAPROXY_IP"],
  "directAccessIPs": ["127.0.0.1"],
  "enableRateLimiting": true,
  "maxConnectionsPerSecond": 10,
  "enableMetrics": true
}

TCPShield Protected Server:

{
  "enableProxyProtocol": true,
  "whitelistTCPShieldServers": true,
  "directAccessIPs": ["127.0.0.1"],
  "enableRateLimiting": true,
  "tcpShieldCacheDurationMinutes": 120
}

Development/Testing:

{
  "enableProxyProtocol": true,
  "proxyServerIPs": ["127.0.0.1"],
  "directAccessIPs": ["127.0.0.1", "192.168.0.0/16"],
  "verboseLogging": true,
  "autoWhitelistPrivateNetworks": true
}

📖 Usage

Installation:

  1. Download falaxy_haproxy-1.0.0.jar
  2. Place in server mods/ folder
  3. Start server to generate config
  4. Edit config/falaxy_haproxy.json
  5. Restart server

Configuring Proxy:

  • HAProxy: Add send-proxy-v2 to backend server
  • Nginx: Use proxy_protocol on; directive
  • TCPShield: Enable in mod config
  • Velocity/BungeeCord: Enable proxy protocol support

Monitoring:

  • Check server logs for connection events
  • Enable verbose logging for detailed info
  • Monitor metrics in logs
  • Review rejected connections

⚡ Performance

  • Memory Overhead: < 1 MB (with 1000+ tracked IPs)
  • CPU Impact: < 0.1% on modern servers
  • Connection Latency: < 1ms additional processing
  • Thread Safety: Fully concurrent, no blocking
  • Scalability: Tested with 1000+ simultaneous connections

🔄 Compatibility

✅ Full server-side mod

  • No client installation required
  • Works on dedicated servers
  • Compatible with Forge 47.2.0+
  • Java 17+ required

✅ Proxy Compatibility:

  • HAProxy 1.5+ (PROXY protocol v1/v2)
  • Nginx with proxy_protocol
  • TCPShield
  • Velocity with proxy protocol
  • BungeeCord with proxy protocol plugin

⚠️ Important Notes

Security:

  • Always use fail-closed mode (default)
  • Only whitelist trusted proxy IPs
  • Enable rate limiting on public servers
  • Monitor rejected connections regularly
  • Keep TCPShield cache reasonable (60-120 min)

Performance:

  • Verbose logging impacts performance - use only for debugging
  • Rate limiting adds minimal overhead
  • Metrics collection is lightweight
  • Auto-cleanup runs every 10 seconds

Configuration:

  • Config auto-generates on first run
  • Use CIDR notation for IP ranges
  • Restart required after config changes
  • Test in development before production
