Overview

ProxyBouncer is an authenticating HTTP proxy that requires users to log in with their Google accounts before passing them through to the upstream server.

Usage

npm install -g proxybouncer
proxybouncer

Environment variables

ProxyBouncer is configured using environment variables.

PROXY_TARGET needs to to point to the upstream website where requests will be proxied to.

ALLOWED_EMAILS defines a regexp of who is allowed to access the service.

COOKIE_SECRET is a unique secret which is used to sign and validate session cookies.

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET are the OAuth2 identifiers that you can get from Google.

MY_URL is where ProxyBouncer is running. The OAuth2 callback URL is configured as "MY_URL/$proxybouncer/oauth2callback". You need to configure it properly in Google Developer Console when creating the client ID and client secret.

PORT=8080
MY_URL=http://localhost:8080
PROXY_TARGET=http://localhost:9000
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=(get from google developer console)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=(get from google developer console)
ALLOWED_EMAILS=.*@example.org$
COOKIE_SECRET=1234abcd

Note that you can create a file called .env in the current directory with environment variables as key=value pairs. ProxyBouncer will automatically read them and include them in the environment setup.
