* Package name : proftpd-mod-proxy-protocol Version : 0.6 Upstream Contact: TJ Saunders <t...@castaglia.org> * URL : https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_proxy_protocol/ * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : Handle protocols which are used by proxies, e.g. haproxy The purpose of the mod_proxy_protocol module is to handle protocols which are used by proxies, e.g. haproxy, for conveying information about the real origin/client to the backend server. Protocols like HTTP often have their own mechanism for doing so, via headers such as "X-Forwarded-For". Unfortunately, FTP does not have such a mechanism, nor does SSH. However, there are protocols which an provide this information without impacting FTP. HAproxy's PROXY protocol is one such mechanism. The mod_proxy_protocol module uses these mechanisms to change the information about the "remote" client so that it is the real client, not the proxy, whose IP address/port are logged and used for e.g. network ACLs. <snip> I'm a member of the Proftp team and I plan to maintain the package in the team.
