Pound Description
Pound is a software solution that functions as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and HTTPS front-end for web servers. It was created to facilitate the distribution of traffic across multiple web servers and to provide an easy-to-use SSL wrapper for servers that lack native SSL support. Available under the GPL license, Pound comes with no warranty and can be freely used, copied, and shared. This lightweight program is simple to audit for security vulnerabilities and can operate with setuid/setgid permissions and within a chroot jail. Furthermore, since Pound does not interact with the hard disk except for reading certificate files at startup when necessary, it minimizes potential security risks for any system it is deployed on. Overall, Pound offers an efficient and secure way to manage web traffic and enhance server capabilities.
