  Hey HN, this is the author, thanks for checking out my project and any feedback. As I built this I found alternatives, here are some differentiators:

  * access logs & metrics - these types of systems obscure this info (src IPs, etc...)

  * system health checks - probes if the destination (upstream service) is available, if not, we'll email you

  * self-hosted - want to host the edge server software on your own, you can do that

  * specification - the plan is to publish the protocol and spec so others can write clients or integrations

  Glad to help with questions, cheers.

  So I can use this to run servers at home without my provider throttling or detecting them? How does traffic from this appear to them?
