Monero node send_raw_transaction unique IP counting reverse proxy

This tool is designed to catch malicious reverse proxies that leech of public nodes and is used by Chainanalysis and probably others.

All it does is count unique IPs that hit /send_raw_transaction and /sendrawtransaction endpoints and pass the unmodified traffic to Monero node.
