Areca Http Proxy Server 1.0

Areca Http Proxy Server by Areca Corporation is a secure, high-performance platform for managing, accelerating, and protecting HTTP and HTTPS traffic. It supports both forward and reverse proxy modes, giving organizations a single, scalable control point for web applications, APIs, and internal services. With intelligent caching, traffic shaping, and policy-based routing, it reduces latency, improves reliability, and simplifies operations across cloud and on-premises environments.

Built with security and observability in mind, Areca HTTP Proxy Server provides TLS termination and mutual TLS, fine-grained access controls, IP allow/deny lists, and integration options for common identity providers. Comprehensive logging, metrics, and tracing hooks offer real-time insight into performance and security posture, while rate limiting and content filtering help prevent abuse and mitigate common threats.

The proxy deploys easily on major operating systems and container platforms, and supports zero-downtime configuration reloads to keep services available during changes. Administrators can manage it through a readable configuration file, a REST API, or an optional web console, making it straightforward to automate at scale or operate in small environments.

Key features:

• Forward and reverse proxy modes for web apps, APIs, and microservices
• TLS termination with SNI and optional mutual TLS between clients and upstreams
• Support for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, plus WebSocket and gRPC pass-through
• Intelligent caching with configurable policies, revalidation, and compression
• Load balancing with health checks, session affinity, and circuit breaking
• Policy-based routing, header and path rewriting, and URL normalization
• Access control lists, IP filtering, and optional geo-based rules
• Pluggable authentication (Basic, JWT, and external identity providers) and SSO integration
• Rate limiting, bandwidth shaping, and request/response filtering
• Detailed logs, metrics export, and tracing integration for observability
• High availability options including clustering and automatic failover
• Command-line, REST API, and web UI for configuration and monitoring
• Container-ready images for CI/CD and automated deployments
• IPv4 and IPv6 support

Typical use cases:

• Accelerating and protecting public websites and customer-facing APIs
• Serving as a secure gateway for microservices and internal applications
• Consolidating outbound web access through a controlled forward proxy
• Enabling edge caching for content delivery to branch or remote locations
