I actually have some server resources where I was considering hosting a large echolink proxy service for echolink users however I have run into issues getting fiber providers to bring the ip’s in for me to use.. So I am not sure what my next step should be considering returning my ip’s if I can’t seem to follow through.

By the way I have to use Java for minecraft servers so my 12 core 24 thread should easily handle a bunch of proxy servers.. However if you have some thing that is Linux based and works well I would be all ears to help out the community using the newer code if willing to share..

The proxy/relay server we use can be downloaded from my webserver: http://pe1chl.nl.eu.org/Softw/elproxy.tar.gz It runs on Linux, and probably on BSD as well after some changing of sockopt names. We have been using it for a couple of years. There is one small race condition that I still haven't been able to locate, I plan to try to convert it from the use of select() to using poll() and hopefully get rid of that. But still it runs for months on end, sometimes losing one or two proxies that get stuck in the logon phase.

It requires a system with a number of IP addresses that are routable to internet. They can be AMPRnet or other public space.
