Components

Platform Filter is made up of several cooperating services. Each component can be deployed and configured independently.

Component Description
RADIUS Listener RADIUS accounting listener that maps IP addresses to subscriber identifiers
Device Register Receives new-device notifications from the Recursor or DNSdist and registers them in Redis, Postgres, and Kafka
Organization Manager REST API to manage IP CIDR allocations per organisation and fan the resulting ranges out to the IP Mapper over NATS
IP Mapper Tracks subscriber IP session allocations and maps IP addresses to sessions
OX Feed Mirror HTTP caching mirror for OX Feeds — reduces inter-datacenter bandwidth and speeds up filter-node recovery
Settings Syncer Syncs subscriber settings and IP mappings from Redis to a local LMDB
OX Feed Client Keeps a local LMDB database in sync with one or more OX Feed HTTP servers for URL categorization
OX Feed Command Source Runs an external command on an interval and turns its output into a versioned OX Feed with snapshots and deltas
OX Feed HTTP API Downloader Mirrors an upstream OX Feed HTTP API (such as oxfeed-vtfeed) into a local feed directory of snapshots, deltas, and code map
OX Feed RPZ Downloader Pulls a DNS Response Policy Zone via AXFR/IXFR and republishes the records as a versioned OX Feed
OX Feed Gitfeed Converts a CSV file stored in git into a versioned OX Feed with snapshots and deltas
Simulator HTTP Server HTTP and NATS service that runs the Platform Filter Lua engine for ad-hoc simulation queries and optional remote proxy decisions
TCP Proxy Routes HTTP and HTTPS connections by inspecting only the initial client bytes, asks the simulator for an allow/block decision, and tunnels the rest at the TCP level
Carbonizer Scrapes Prometheus /metrics endpoints, converts the samples to Carbon dotted paths, and forwards them to Graphite-compatible servers
