Gateway Proxy

The Gateway Proxy tool is more than just a proxy, it offers a range of useful functionalities for node operators and Swarm developers. For more in depth documentation of its features, refer to its README doc on GitHub.

Public Gateway​

The tool can be used to set up a public gateway which can be used to host public facing applications or websites to users on the web who aren't running Bee nodes.

Stamp Management​

In addition to acting as a proxy, it also includes convenient features for managing stamps such as automatically buying new stamps or automatically extending the life of existing stamps.

Security​

Authentication can also be enabled so that only authorized requests are fulfilled. This is a useful feature for protecting your node if its API endpoint is publicly exposed.
