Reverse proxy help needed
Hey Fellas
I am setting up a live radio station using icecast on a 256 mb vps without any DDOS protection.Once the station goes live,I am afraid the DDOS attacks will cause the vps to be null routed.Since I have a spare kimsufi ,I am trying to achieve the following setup:
A= the broadcasting server
B= Kimsufi
C = Visitors
What I want is ,all the traffic to be routed via B that is C>B>A so that in case of DDOS,the kimsufi takes the hit and the stream still keeps running.I am aware that this is possible by using a reverse proxy,but what I want to do is hide the source stream.Let's say the source stream by A is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/live. What I want is when someone browses the IP of kimsufi ie xxx.xxx.xxx/live ,this takes the stream broadcasted by A and forwards it to C without C knowing that A actually exists.The URL provided by kimsufi should be different than the original stream URL and I want the original stream URL to remain hidden however still be accessible to C via B
Looking forward to hear from the experts
Comments
why not just broadcast via the kimsufi?
I have couple of other services running at kimsufi which is why I just want to use it as a proxy rather than broadcasting from it.I can do so via kimsufi as well,but I prefer to keep the icecast seperate from kimsufi
That's kinda how reverse proxy works, what u looking forward lol
I've seen a comment in a thread (on LET if I recall correctly) regarding reverse proxy, and it was by @nexmark. Maybe look at his posts and find it there.
Or use cloudflare, are there any reasons not to use that?
If you want to know Visitors' IP Address http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/gre_tunnel
If not http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/redirect_traffic
I use cloudflare -> ddos protected netherlands server -> unknown storage server
I sell hosting , oh! If you use cloudflare you can't connect to icecast server. Same with FTP
uhh can't this be done with a shoutcast relay?
A= icecast server B= Kimsufi: Icecast relay ( http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.0/relaying.html ) C = Visitors
Thank you everyone.Will try using the tutorial by nexmark and set up a reverse proxy.The thread can be closed.
Update: Here's the link to the reverse proxy tutorial by @nexmark for whoever needed.
