Announcing the Release of ProxySQL Version 2.7.0!

We are thrilled to announce the release of ProxySQL v2.7.0, a significant upgrade that introduces a powerful new feature designed to enhance your MySQL deployments. This release brings exciting capabilities for network load balancing, security, and improved debugging.

What’s New in ProxySQL 2.7.0?

ProxySQL v2.7.0 is a major release that focuses on adding critical features to enhance your MySQL infrastructure. Here are the key highlights:

  • PROXY Protocol V1 Support: ProxySQL now supports the PROXY Protocol version 1. This protocol allows applications behind a network load balancer to identify the original client’s IP address, leading to several benefits:

    • IP-based query rules: You can now control caching, rewrite, routing, filtering, and more based on the client’s IP address, enabling granular control over your MySQL environment.
    • Improved processlist and auditing: The processlist and audit logs will now accurately display the original client’s IP address, providing valuable insights into connection origins and user activity.
    • Enhanced security: You can utilize PROXY Protocol to restrict database access based on client IP addresses, strengthening your security posture.
    • More accurate performance monitoring: Track the origin of database connections to pinpoint performance issues related to specific clients, leading to faster troubleshooting and optimization.

In addition to these major features, ProxySQL 2.7.0 also includes several enhancements to simplify debugging.
