Apache Traffic Server
Open-source caching proxy server for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 traffic, used for forward and reverse proxying.
trafficserver.apache.org/repositorydocs
Apache Traffic Server is a caching proxy server from The Apache Software Foundation. The getting-started guide describes it as a server for forward and reverse proxying of HTTP and HTTPS traffic, and it can run in either or both modes at once. The trafficserver command starts the set of processes that handle requests and monitor the system, and a stop subcommand ends them. The installation guide covers building from the source archive or a git clone with cmake.
Worth knowing
The project ships no binary downloads, so a host needs a C++ build toolchain and the build dependencies the installation guide lists. The project also publishes a long-term support line beside the current major version.
