Deployment boundaries

This application processes authentication cookies and browsing sessions. Its .proxy_data/ directory is sensitive and must never be published or shared.

  • Keep the login token long, random, and private.
  • In VPS mode, leave the backend bound to 127.0.0.1 and expose only the HTTPS reverse proxy.
  • Do not enable access to private destination addresses on an Internet-facing deployment.
  • Run the service as an unprivileged operating-system account.
  • Keep runtime files private; the provided systemd unit uses a restrictive process umask and the launcher restricts private files on POSIX systems.
  • Stop the service and remove the local root CA when LAN access is no longer needed.

This is an authenticated browsing tool, not an anonymity service. Destination sites see the network address of the machine running the proxy.
