How does it work?

CheckWebPeer takes advantage of bittorrent-tracker's client and scrapes the (currently) 4 websocket trackers:

wss://tracker.openwebtorrent.com/
wss://tracker.webtorrent.io
wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz
wss://tracker.fastcast.nz

The client runs client-sided so it's not necessary to host it in a server, and it's pretty simple to understand as most of the code it's reused and adapted from bittorrent-tracker and instant.io.
