Title: Simple Forward Proxy
Post by: morantis on November 01, 2015, 07:32:41 PM
I was wondering if anyone knows of a very light weight proxy that will forward stratum to a different server.  It would be nice if there was a GUI, but that is not necessary.  The idea is to point our clients to various mining pools and not just one and have the ability to change that pool at will.

Can't you just use port forwarding? On Linux, you can just use iptables to forward whatever port your users connect to to the actual pool's stratum server.

With what I know about the stratum protocol, I do not think it will forward with the proper data.  But thanks.

I use ckproxy for this purpose. It works well.
