| Spec score · Minecraft Server Proxy Software | 7.6 (#10) | 7.0 (#18) |
| Integrations | The README names Redis, Prometheus, MaxMind MMDB GeoIP databases, the Mojang API, and HAProxy Proxy Protocol among supported integrations or components. | The project documents integrations with Geyser Standalone, GeyserLite, optional ViaLite, Nginx, systemd, and Certbot. |
| License | The repository lists the Apache License 2.0, whose terms grant no-charge copyright and patent licenses subject to its conditions. | YvLink is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only, which the maker says permits personal, corporate, and commercial use subject to the license's source-sharing requirements. |
| Purpose | Infrared describes itself as a Minecraft reverse proxy with Layer 7 protection, written in Go. | YvLink is a Rust and Tokio Minecraft Java TCP proxy that routes connections by the hostname in the client handshake and relays later game and mod traffic. |
| Routing | A proxy configuration can map multiple domain names to a destination server. | One public port can serve multiple hostnames, with exact and wildcard matching, a fallback rule, and up to 128 backends per route. |
