This is a fork of the popular CORS Anywhere proxy. You can read the original README.md over here
This fork focuses on expanding customizable options from environment variables and re-working things to run in a pure node.js environment (not deployed through Heroku).
| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| HOST | Server host | 0.0.0.0 |
| PORT | Server listening port | 8080 |
| KEY | File path for the SSL key. If not provided, http protocol will be used. |
|
| CERT | File path for the SSL cert. If not provided, http protocol will be used. |
|
| VERIFY_SSL | If true, will verify the validaty of the SSL certs. | true |
| CORSANYWHERE_BLACKLIST | If set, requests whose origin is listed are blocked. Example: https://abuse.example.com,http://badactors.net |
|
| CORSANYWHERE_WHITELIST | If set, requests whose origin is not listed are blocked. If this list is empty, all origins are allowed. Example: https://good.example.com,http://goodactors.net |
|
| CORSANYWHERE_RATELIMIT | Format: <max requests per period> <period in minutes> <non-ratelimited hosts>For example, to blacklist abuse.example.com and rate-limit everything to 50 requests per 3 minutes, except for my.example.com and my2.example.com (which may be unlimited), use: 50 3 my.example.com my2.example.com |
| Script | Description |
|---|---|
| npm run start | Start up CORS Anywhere server in http mode |
| npm run start:secure | Start up CORS Anywhere server in https mode. Will look for corsanywhere-cert.crt and corsanywhere-key.pem to setup SSL. |
| npm run generate-cert | Generate Self signed certificates for SSL. Uses openssl and will the config file generate-cert.cnf. See note below about generating self signed certs. |
You can use the included npm script npm run generate-certs to generate the key and cert files for your CORS Anywhere server.
Make sure to modify the config file generate-cert.cnf to replace <CORS_ANYWHERE_IP> with your server's actual ip address.
