Backed by the Linux Foundation with contributions from AWS, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Shell, Agentgateway is the first data plane built from the ground up for AI agent workloads — providing a unified Rust-based proxy that handles conventional HTTP and gRPC traffic alongside MCP tool servers, A2A agent communication, and LLM inference endpoints through a single deployment. The LLM gateway routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock, and other providers through an OpenAI-compatible unified API with per-tenant budget controls, spend tracking, prompt enrichment, load balancing across multiple model endpoints, and automatic failover when providers experience outages. The MCP gateway federates multiple tool servers behind one endpoint, supporting stdio, HTTP/SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports with built-in OAuth authentication compliant with the MCP auth specification, integrating Auth0 and Keycloak out of the box. OpenAPI integration exposes existing REST APIs as MCP-native tools without code changes, enabling legacy services to participate in agent workflows. Policy-based RBAC controls which agents access which tools, while OpenTelemetry integration provides distributed tracing across agent communication chains. Deploy as a standalone binary with flat YAML configuration or on Kubernetes using the built-in controller with Gateway API support for declarative infrastructure-as-code management. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Authelia is the leading open-source SSO and multi-factor authentication server for self-hosted infrastructure. The Go backend compiles to a single binary or Docker container image, serving a TypeScript React web portal that handles first-factor username and password login, second-factor authentication via TOTP, WebAuthn FIDO2 security keys, passwordless passkeys, and Duo mobile push notifications, and an OpenID Connect 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 identity provider with device code flow, JWE encrypted ID tokens, custom claims policies, and network-scoped authorization criteria. The forward authentication model integrates with Nginx auth_request, Traefik ForwardAuth, HAProxy, Caddy, Envoy, SWAG, and Skipper reverse proxies, injecting Remote-User, Remote-Groups, and Remote-Email headers into authorized requests. Granular access control rules match subject, groups, request URI, HTTP method, and network to enforce one-factor and two-factor policies per route. The user backend supports LDAP with attribute mapping, connection pooling, and bind mode, or YAML file-based authentication with Argon2id hashed passwords. Session state stores in Redis for high availability across clustered deployments, while persistent data lives in SQLite, MySQL and MariaDB, or PostgreSQL. Brute force protection locks accounts after configurable failed attempts, and email-based identity verification handles password resets and device registration. Dark, light, and OLED themes with i18n localization customize the portal appearance. On RepoCloud, deploy Authelia on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your authentication infrastructure, all under the Apache-2.0 license.

Providing an intuitive control plane for modern reverse proxy infrastructure, CaddyUI enables system administrators to manage proxy hosts, automated TLS certificates, and traffic routing without hand-editing configuration files. Operators can create and adjust reverse proxy destinations, URL path rewrites, custom headers, and redirection rules using structured forms that validate against the proxy engine before saving. The platform coordinates automatic ACME certificate requests and renewals, displaying live certificate expiration timelines, validation stages, and internal self-signed certificate authority options for local network services. Fleet management tools synchronize proxy rules across multiple distributed server instances, preventing configuration drift across staging and production clusters. Automated post-deployment health checks verify upstream endpoint availability, HTTP status codes, and latency thresholds, instantly rolling back to the previous configuration if an expectation fails. An integrated observability suite delivers real-time visitor traffic analytics, geographic maps, HTTP response code breakdowns, and single-click client IP blocking to counter malicious probing attempts. Administrators can schedule automated database backups, configure multi-user access with role permissions, and integrate CrowdSec threat intelligence to protect backends.

With over 43,000 GitHub stars and adoption by companies including Nasdaq, Samsung, and Expedia, Kong Gateway is the world's most deployed open-source API gateway, processing billions of API requests daily across hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud architectures. Built on the battle-tested NGINX engine with OpenResty's LuaJIT runtime, Kong delivers sub-millisecond proxy latency while supporting REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket, SOAP, and Kafka protocols. The plugin architecture includes authentication via JWT, Basic Auth, HMAC, key authentication, OAuth 2.0, and LDAP, alongside rate limiting with configurable windows per consumer, IP address, or API key. The AI Proxy plugin provides a universal LLM API that routes across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI, Databricks, Mistral, and Hugging Face through a single standardized interface, while MCP proxy capabilities convert REST APIs into MCP tools and provide traffic governance for AI agents. Kong supports declarative configuration via YAML for GitOps workflows, a RESTful Admin API for dynamic configuration, and decK CLI for version-controlled infrastructure-as-code management. Upstream health checking with active and passive probes enables automatic failover, and the ring balancer distributes traffic across upstream targets with consistent hashing, round-robin, or least-connections algorithms. The Kong Plugin Hub hosts over 100 community and official plugins covering logging, monitoring, transformation, security, and traffic control. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

KrakenD processes over 18,000 requests per second on a single instance while consuming under 50MB of RAM at 1,000 concurrent connections, operating as a stateless API gateway that requires no database whatsoever. The Community Edition has earned over 2,600 GitHub stars by outperforming database-dependent alternatives like Kong and Tyk in independent benchmarks. Written entirely in Go, it uses declarative JSON or YAML configuration files that integrate directly into GitOps workflows for version-controlled infrastructure management. The gateway aggregates responses from multiple backend services into a single API call, transforms request and response payloads with field filtering, grouping, and mapping, and applies zero-trust security policies including JWT validation, OAuth 2.0, CORS, HSTS, clickjacking protection, and XSS prevention. Traffic management features include multi-layer rate limiting at both the router and proxy levels, circuit breakers for backend fault isolation, spike arrest policies, and concurrent call support that requests the same data from multiple backends in parallel for improved response times. Telemetry integrates with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, Datadog, Zipkin, and Jaeger for distributed tracing and metrics collection. The gateway extends through Go plugins, Lua scripting, Martian modifiers, and Google CEL expressions for custom request processing logic. AI workload routing supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other model endpoints with built-in fallback, retries, and load balancing. Deploy via Docker with the devopsfaith/krakend image as a single binary. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Created to eliminate the configuration fragmentation plaguing multi-device Homelab setups and small-team infrastructures, NetsGo merges what typically requires three separate tools — a tunnel daemon, a management panel, and a monitoring stack — into a single Go binary that starts with one command and listens on one port. The server exposes HTTP, TCP, and UDP tunnels, a built-in Web console for node management, a REST API for automation, and real-time traffic statistics with per-client bandwidth limiting, all sharing default port 9527 so firewalls and reverse proxies need only a single rule. Version 0.1.11 introduced Client-to-Client P2P tunnels via WebRTC DataChannel with three selectable transport strategies — Server relay, Prefer P2P with automatic fallback, and P2P only — reducing latency for direct connections while maintaining the centralized control plane. The management console displays every connected client's online status, authentication tokens, tunnel configuration, active transport mode, P2P candidate gathering progress, and cumulative byte-level traffic counters updated every second. Unlike frp or rathole which delegate management to external plugins or configuration files, NetsGo provides built-in client key generation, tunnel target migration between nodes, SOCKS5 proxying, IP-whitelist console access, and one-command server upgrades. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Usulnet packs container management, Trivy security scanning, Nginx reverse proxy, scheduled backups, WireGuard VPN, firewall rules, and multi-node orchestration into a single 70MB Go binary with zero external runtime dependencies. Every module ships in one download with no paid tiers, no telemetry, and no edition gating. Container lifecycle management covers creation, start, stop, restart, pause, kill, and removal with bulk operations, real-time resource statistics, filesystem browsing, and settings editing. Trivy integration scans images and running containers for CVEs with severity scoring, generates SBOMs, and validates CIS benchmarks. The multi-node architecture supports standalone, master, or agent modes where agents connect over NATS JetStream with mTLS encryption, enabling remote Docker host management from a central dashboard. Reverse proxy configuration handles Nginx with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, TCP/UDP stream proxying, access lists, and dead host detection. Backup operations capture container volumes and Compose stacks on configurable schedules with retention policies and full restore capabilities. A built-in application catalog provides 60+ one-click templates for common services. JWT license validation uses an RSA-4096 public key embedded in the binary, requiring no call-home and working entirely offline. For teams tired of maintaining separate tools for each infrastructure concern, Usulnet collapses the entire stack into a single point of management with Docker Compose deployment alongside PostgreSQL, Redis, and NATS.
