Getting Different Results for Same Domain in Live Demo and Main Website
RiteshSec opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
I have searched the same domain in main and live demo websites and have got different results for both of them and both of them are wrong. Is there any reason for this behavior? If so what is it and how to avoid it?
Got Different Results for
- Server Info and Server location
- DNS Records and DNS Server
- Hostnames
Edit:
I believe this is because the website might be using cloud flare edge. I got the Hostname as cloud flare. Is there any way we can know the real IP of the server where the domain is hosted which behind the Cloud flare Edge Proxy/ Server.
@RiteshSec Cloudflare DNS Proxy uses Edge locations underhood to serve you content from the nearest location. It's similar to TOR, where your public IP (server's location) can jump from one to another. So for example, when live demo is in US-EAST then public IP will be near to USA or for example you're in Ireland and setting up web-check locally. Then the public IP of your server will be near to Ireland.
That's how Cloudflare DNS Proxy / Cloudfront works ;)
That explains the behavior.
Thank You @KostLinux for your swift response.
