Loadbalancoooor

PoC local JSON-RPC load-balancer with opt-in anonymizer via Tor

Why

Distribute RPC requests across different RPC providers and eventually use a proxy for privacy purposes

How use it

• Install Docker

• Clone the repo

• Edit rpc.txt with your RPCs (currently some public examples from Ethereum Nodes)

• For only load balancing, run docker-compose up -f docker-compose.yml

• For more privacy, run docker-compose up -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.proxy.yml

• You get your new RPC at http://localhost:9545

Architecture

Only Load Balancing

                            => remote_rpc_1
                           |
user => (localhost:9545) -     ...
                           |
                            => remote_rpc_N

With Anonymizer/Proxy

                                         => remote_rpc_1
                                        |
user => (localhost:9545) => (tor/proxy) -     ...
                                        |
                                         => remote_rpc_N

Disclaimer

This is only to demonstrate how to load balance request across multiple providers and how tunnel them via a proxy for analysis, debugging (e.g. mitmproxy) and privacy purposes.

Use at your own risks.
