A minimal service to check whether a site is running behind cloudflare.

_{Visit cf-detect.now.sh for a live demo. Check out my blog and follow me on Twitter.}

Installation & Configuration

Clone the repository and install all dependencies by running:

~ ❯❯❯ git clone https://github.com/k4m4/cf-detect.now
~ ❯❯❯ cd cf-detect.now/
~/cf-detect.now ❯❯❯ npm install

Subsequently, create a .env file and declare a variable called SECRET (for session security purposes):

~/cf-detect ❯❯❯ echo "SECRET=[your-secret-goes-here]" > .env
~/cf-detect ❯❯❯ npm start

You can then access the service by navigating to localhost:3000.

~ ❯❯❯ npm install -g now

Then, run now from within the directory of CF-Detect.Now:

~/cf-detect.now ❯❯❯ now
