Reverse proxy for game server (UDP)?

Question

Nginx

We need a reverse proxy between the client and the game server, displaying the real IP address on the game server.
I'm currently using Nginx with the stream directive, but the client IP is the same as the nginx IP. The game server does not support Proxy_protocol.

Is there any way to bypass Nginx? The task of a proxy server is only to proxy traffic in both directions. Both servers have a dedicated IP address.

Answer 1

Nginx is not needed in your case, set up packet forwarding + masquerading via iptables, etc.

Answer 2

Try Haproxy

Answer 3

Perhaps the easiest option is VPN between servers.
There is an alternative option - mmproxy from cloudflare.
