User Guide

Welcome to the VPN Exit Controller User Guide! This section covers everything you need to know about using the system effectively.

What You'll Learn

Quick Overview

Proxy URLs

Access VPN exit nodes through simple proxy URLs:

https://proxy-us.rbnk.uk  # United States
https://proxy-uk.rbnk.uk  # United Kingdom
https://proxy-jp.rbnk.uk  # Japan

Load Balancing Strategies

Strategy Description Best For
Round Robin Equal distribution Balanced load
Least Connections Route to least busy High traffic
Weighted Latency Favor fastest nodes Performance
Random Random selection Testing
Health Score AI-based routing Optimal performance

API Authentication

All API requests require authentication:

curl -u admin:password https://api.vpn.yourdomain.com/api/nodes

Common Use Cases

1. Browser Configuration

Configure your browser to use a specific country proxy:

Settings → Advanced → System → Open proxy settings
HTTP Proxy: proxy-us.rbnk.uk
Port: 443
Settings → Network Settings → Manual proxy
HTTP Proxy: proxy-uk.rbnk.uk
Port: 443

2. Application Integration

Integrate proxy URLs in your applications:

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'https://proxy-jp.rbnk.uk',
    'https': 'https://proxy-jp.rbnk.uk'
}

response = requests.get('https://ipinfo.io', proxies=proxies)
const axios = require('axios');

const response = await axios.get('https://ipinfo.io', {
    proxy: {
        protocol: 'https',
        host: 'proxy-de.rbnk.uk',
        port: 443
    }
});

3. Load Balancing Control

Select the optimal node for your needs:

# Get best node for US
curl -u admin:password \
  https://api.vpn.yourdomain.com/api/load-balancer/best-node/us

# Change strategy to health score
curl -X POST -u admin:password \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"strategy": "health_score"}' \
  https://api.vpn.yourdomain.com/api/load-balancer/strategy

Best Practices

Performance Tips

  • Use the health score strategy for optimal performance
  • Monitor node metrics to identify performance issues
  • Rotate between nodes to distribute load
  • Use geographic proximity for lowest latency

Security Considerations

  • Always use HTTPS proxy URLs
  • Rotate API credentials regularly
  • Monitor access logs for unusual activity
  • Implement IP whitelisting for sensitive operations
