pound - Summary
This is a mirror of a project hosted elsewhere.
Pound is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end for Web servers. It was developed to enable distributing the load among several Web-servers and to allow for a convenient SSL wrapper for those Web servers that do not offer it natively.
Original version of pound was written by Robert Segall at Apsis GmbH. On September 2022 Robert announced that he will no longer develop nor maintain the project. This version is a continuation of his work on the 2.x branch of the project. The branch 3.x which emerged for a short time before the project was abandoned I consider a failed experiment. To ensure consistent versioning and avoid confusion, my versioning of pound starts with 4.0.
The git repository below is a mirror or the main repository at https://github.com/graygnuorg/pound, which is updated each 2 hours.
