Show HN: SpecificProxy – Proxy Using a Specific IP

dangoodmanUT Sunday, January 11, 2026

Threw together this very specific proxy that allows the downstream to define which IP will be used for the proxied request, and has built-in rate limiting mechanism to coordinate upstream rate limiting across clients.

This is particularly useful when you have a proxy node with many IPs, and you either want to use a specific one, or rotate through them. It also helps prevent upstream rate limiting due to disjoint clients being unable to coordinate on rate limits.

Opus was largely able to one-shot each feature from my specs, which was pretty cool (shows how effective a spec is).
