I tried to give it a try, and gave up for now.

1. quite hard to "give it a spin" without using docker (vomit). I eventually found some random github repo that had centos7 compatible build scripts, and it took quite a while to compile it on a test vm since it had to build gcc and a ton of other stuff. Not sure why they can't just supply a static binary "release".

2. The config really is a mess. I managed to get something almost working (only / requests went through the proxy, but nothing else for some reason, even though I was using a prefix config). There aren't really any good example configs I could find either. There is a weird config builder script with json templates in the configs dir, but it just seemed to spew out some preconfigured madness.

I am sure it works great and has more tunables than you can shake a stick at, but for now it seems to be only usable by people who have lots of time to invest in trying it out.
