cf-proxy

Proxy requests through Cloudflare workers

A simple worker that acts as proxy to tunnel requests over the internet, forwarding them through Cloudflare's global network of servers. This way, we can archieve automatic IP address rotation, all coming from a trusted ASN (as CF is used by a huge number of websites, their ASNs are usually whitelisted on firewalls 😜 ).

Usage

You will need bun to run the client script proxy.js. You can install it by running:

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
. ~/.bashrc

You also need a Cloudflare account to deply the worker. A free account is fine, but you might experience some issues with page loading with slow website connections as the workers have a limitation of 10ms CPU time per request on the free tier, but as long as you don't try to download any big files this should be enough to navigate the internet.

Once you have bun installed, go ahead and install wrangler using:

bun i -g wrangler

Login to CF with wrangler:

wrangler login

Then, cd into worker/ directory and install dependences with:

cd worker/
bun i

Now, edit the file at src/index.js to include an authorization token (necessary to avoid other people from using it). Just change the following line:

         if (request.headers.get('Authorization') !== '<YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN>')
             return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });

Replace <YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN> with a token/password and also edit the proxy.js to include the same token in the authorization header.

Now, you can deploy the worker with

cd worker/
wrangler deploy

Take note of the URL assigned to your worker and edit the proxy.js script again to replace <YOUR-WORKER-DOMAIN> with the hostname assigned to your deployment.

Now simply run bun proxy.js and configure your browser to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as an HTTP proxy and enjoy the automatic ip address rotation 😉.

Notes

Your ip address will rotate at each request, since the worker runs on the so-called serverless architecture, spawned in a distributed global network of servers owned by cloudflare. Each time you invoke a worker, a different server might be provisioned depending on the current availability. These servers might be located on your region (which is usually the case) or even in another country.

This project is just an example to showcase an application that I developed while learning javascript and Workers.
