About:
go-camo is a high-performance, secure image proxy server written in Go. It acts as a shield between your users and untrusted image sources, preventing browsers from leaking user IP addresses. The proxy also mitigates SSRF attacks and enforces strict content type validation to ensure only images are served.
Key Features:
  • Prevents IP leakage by proxying requests
  • Mitigates SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) attacks
  • Strict content type and size validation
  • High concurrency and low memory footprint
Use Cases:
  • Protecting user privacy in web applications
  • Securing image loading in email clients
  • Bypassing hotlink protection while maintaining security
Alternatives:
  • nginx – Can be configured as a reverse proxy but requires manual setup for security filtering
  • picfit – Focuses more on image transformation and storage rather than just secure proxying
