QForward
by Pyrrha
QForward lets Quilt modded servers forward player connections through a proxy, and it is installed on the server alone.
What it does
Proxy forwarding is switched on or off in the mod's config with a boolean setting that defaults to enabled. The forwarding secret can be read from a file, given as a path relative to the server directory, or taken from an environment variable written as env:VARIABLE_NAME, such as env:QFORWARD_SECRET. Since only the server needs it, players join without installing anything. Builds exist for Fabric and Quilt across 1.16 – 1.19, and the newest Quilt file targets 1.19.
Key features
Proxy forwarding
Player connections coming through a proxy are forwarded to the Quilt server, so the server sees the real client.
Forwarding toggle
A boolean option in the config enables or disables forwarding, and it is on by default.
Secret from file or variable
The forwarding secret is read from a relative file path or from an environment variable such as env:QFORWARD_SECRET.
