300-line Python proxy hides GPT prompts from buyers

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built an OpenAI-compatible proxy in ~300 lines of Python using FastAPI and httpx. The proxy injects system prompts server-side, so buyers never see the prompt text. The Lite version is open-source on GitHub, while a paid Pro version adds encrypted storage and multi-tenancy.
