- [OK] Direct UUID & Profile Protection: Online-mode encryption verified at proxy; skins & textures intact
Game Server Reverse Proxy & Ingress Architecture
Modern HMAC Secret Token Verification
In Velocity 3.x modern forwarding mode, the proxy calculates an HMAC SHA-256 signature for each player payload containing their real IP address, Mojang UUID, and profile skins. The backend Paper server verifies this signature using the shared secret. If a malicious user attempts to connect directly to the backend port, the handshake fails immediately with an invalid signature error.
PROXY Protocol v2 Binary Header
When deploying HAProxy or cloud Layer-4 load balancers in front of TCP or UDP game daemons, network address translation (NAT) ordinarily masks incoming client IPs as the proxy IP (e.g. 127.0.0.1). PROXY protocol v2 prepends a compact 16-byte binary header with the client original IP and port, preserving IP bans and geo-location routing without application changes.
Backend Port Scans & Firewall Isolation
Even with token authentication, running backend servers exposed to public interfaces allows port scanners to identify backend ports and launch targeted CPU-exhaustion denial of service attacks. Always configure host firewall rules (iptables or nftables) dropping all inbound connections to backend ports unless originating from the internal proxy IP address.
DustBowl Warden High-Bandwidth Proxy Ingress
In DustBowl Warden, proxy clusters run across high-speed internal overlays. Velocity and HAProxy instances connect to backend nodes over dedicated private network namespaces with zero public route exposure, guaranteeing line-rate packet dispatch and total perimeter isolation.
