Question Multi-Layered Proxies

[George]

Hi,

I’m currently playing around with Minecraft servers. I’m trying to make it at the most enterprise level.My end goal is to have three servers that are regions such as EU; US; ASIA.

Now I have tried going: velocity server (main broker) -> velocity server ( Region such as US ) -> PaperMC server ( lobby; survival world; etc)

I would like to use IP Forwarding but this is causing me to use “modern” forwarding and it will not pass this communicate the key to the second proxy.

This setup works perfectly without Forwarding.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!

Proxy in proxy is generally 100% unsupported, your middle layer proxies would need to be modified to support forwarding themselves, and there's generally little gain to having multi-layered proxies, if you wanna create a regional based system where people join a network close to them, you'd more wanna look into things like GeoDNS, otherwise you're just going to have everybodies connection routing around the world
