Hodor is a lightweight reverse proxy written in Rust that adds a single-password authentication gate to any web application. It is interesting because it provides a simple, secure, and performant way to protect private services without the complexity of user management or OAuth, using features like HMAC-signed cookies, rate limiting, and streaming proxy.
