Meet Halimun Proxy a high-performance, ultra-low latency proxy tunnel system built from the ground up in Rust. Why Rust? By leveraging Rust , Halimun achieves extreme efficiency. Using the Axum web framework and Tokio for non-blocking asynchronous I/O, it manages to maintain a tiny footprint—running on as little as ~15MB of RAM . It’s designed to be fast, memory-safe, and incredibly stable under load. Core Security Features Halimun isn't just a proxy; it’s a security layer. It enforces strict request validation to ensure your internal services are never exposed to malicious actors: AES-256-CBC Encryption: End-to-end payload masking. Even if your traffic is intercepted, the actual API endpoint and data remain indecipherable. HMAC-SHA256 Integrity: Validates that data hasn't been tampered with in transit. Replay Attack Prevention: Uses Nonce and timestamp verification in-memory (via DashMap ) to reject duplicate spoofed requests.…
