Palantics Tracker Helper

A tool that counters anti-tracking measures by removing third-party requests. Your server will do the requests instead.

This is the recommended way to setup palantics. But only using the frontend script with the tracker server directly does work as well :)

Installation

1. Copy or clone this repo to your server

cp example.env .env

Edit your .env file and make sure you use the correct tracking server.

docker-compose up -d

2. Update your Reverse Proxy config

Configure your reverse proxy to catch requests and forward them to Palantics Helper.

Remember to set the PORT correctly to match your .env PORT.

NGINX:

location /spur {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8101;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

Traefik:

# Traefik configuration
labels:
  - "traefik.enable=true"
  - "traefik.http.routers.palantics.rule=Host(`yourdomain.com`) && PathPrefix(`/spur`)"
  - "traefik.http.routers.palantics.entrypoints=web,websecure"
  - "traefik.http.routers.palantics.tls=true"
  - "traefik.http.services.palantics.loadbalancer.server.port=8101"

3. Update Global Server Config

In the global server config in your frontend, replace the tracker endpoint with your own domain:

<!-- Global server config -->
<script>
  const server = "https://karlbreuer.com";
</script>

INSTEAD of your tracker endpoint https://tracking1.karlbreuer.com
