OSBal is an open-source, lightweight web-based GUI for managing HAProxy, Keepalived, and Stunnel4 load balancer stacks, particularly suited for low-cost hardware like Raspberry Pi. It offers built-in WAF protection, real-time traffic stats, and a production deployment script, making it a practical alternative to commercial load balancers. Its integration of multiple networking tools with a unified UI is interesting for small-to-medium deployments.
