This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

Vouch Proxy (formerly Lasso) is a Single-Sign On OAuth client that works with the Nginx auth_request module and supports IndieAuth/RelMeAuth through IndieLogin, which is used for logging into the IndieWeb wiki.

See Vouch for the Webmention extension for blocking spam and accepting responses from specific audiences.
