MITM Domain-Fronted HTTP Relay + Cloudflare Worker Exit
How It Works
1 - GAS + Cloudflare Worker Exit
Client -> Local Relay -> Google/CDN Front -> GAS (Google Apps Script) Relay -> Cloudflare Worker -> Exit
|
+-> Shows www.google.com to network DPI filter
2 - GAS + Cloudflare Worker Middle + Self-Hosted Upstream Forwarder Relay Exit
Client -> Local Relay -> Google/CDN Front -> GAS (Google Apps Script) Relay -> Cloudflare Worker -> Self-Hosted Upstream Forwarder -> Exit
|
+-> Shows www.google.com to network DPI filter
In normal use, the browser sends traffic to the proxy running on your computer.
The proxy sends that traffic through Google-facing infrastructure so the network only sees an allowed domain such as www.google.com.
Your deployed relay then fetches the real website through cloudflare worker and sends the response back through the same path.
This means the filter sees normal-looking Google traffic, while the actual destination stays hidden inside the relay request.
How to Use
1 - Download project and extract
git clone https://github.com/denuitt1/mhr-cfw.git
cd mhr-cfw
pip install -r requirements.txt
Can't reach PyPI directly? Use this mirror instead:
pip install -r requirements.txt -i https://mirror-pypi.runflare.com/simple/ --trusted-host mirror-pypi.runflare.com
2 - Set Up the Cloudflare Worker (worker.js)
- Open Cloudflare Dashboard and sign in with your Cloudflare account.
- From the sidebar, navigate to Compute > Workers & Pages
- Click Create Application, Choose Start with Hello World and click on Deploy
- Click on Edit code and Delete all the default code in the editor.
- Open the
worker.js file from this project (under deploy/), copy everything, and paste it into the Apps Script editor.
- Important: Change the worker on this line to the worker you created:
const WORKER_URL = "myworker.workers.dev";
- Click Deploy.
3 - Set Up the Google Relay (Code.gs)
- Open Google Apps Script and sign in with your Google account.
- Click New project.
- Delete all the default code in the editor.
- Open the
Code.gs file from this project (under deploy/), copy everything, and paste it into the Apps Script editor.
- Important: Change the password on this line to something only you know, also replace the worker url with your cloudflare worker:
const AUTH_KEY = "your-secret-password-here";
const WORKER_URL = "https://myworker.workers.dev";
- Click Deploy → New deployment.
- Choose Web app as the type.
- Set:
- Execute as: Me
- Who has access: Anyone
- Click Deploy.
- Copy the Deployment ID (it looks like a long random string). You'll need it in the next step.
⚠️ Remember the password you set in step 3. You'll use the same password in the config file below.
4 - Run
Click on the run.bat file (on windows) or run.sh file (on linux) to start the relay.
If you're running for the first time it will prompt a setup wizard where you have to enter the AUTH_KEY and Google Apps Script Deployment ID.
You should see a message saying the HTTP proxy is running on 127.0.0.1:8085
5 - Usage
We recommend using v2rayN client and configuring a socks5 proxy.
You can also use FoxyProxy's Chrome extension or Firefox extension to use this proxy in your browser.
6 - Test your connection
Open ipleak.net in your browser, you should see your ip address set as cloudflare's.
7 - Additional Usage Guides
Using the Proxy Inside a Virtual Machine
When you run a virtual machine (VM), it operates in an isolated network environment separate from the host. By default, the VM cannot directly access services running on localhost of the host machine — including this proxy.
To fix this, you need to find the gateway IP that your hypervisor assigns to the host, then use it instead of localhost when configuring the proxy inside the VM.
Example: VirtualBox (NAT mode)
The host is always reachable from inside the VM at 10.0.2.2. Set the proxy:
export http_proxy="http://10.0.2.2:8085"
export https_proxy="http://10.0.2.2:8085"
export all_proxy="socks5://10.0.2.2:8085"
To make this permanent, add the lines above to ~/.bashrc and run source ~/.bashrc.
Since this proxy performs SSL inspection, you may see certificate errors. Install the included ca.crt to fix them:
sudo cp ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ && sudo update-ca-certificates
Sharing the Proxy Over a Local Network (e.g. Mobile Devices)
You can use this proxy on your phone or any other device on the same network — no extra software needed.
1. Find your host IP
# Windows
ipconfig
# Linux / macOS
ip addr
Look for the IP of the adapter connected to your router (e.g. 192.168.1.8).
2. Forward the port (Windows only, if the service is bound to localhost)
Run CMD as Administrator:
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenaddress=192.168.1.8 listenport=8085 connectaddress=127.0.0.1 connectport=8085
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Proxy 8085" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=8085
3. Configure proxy on your phone
Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi, then set the proxy manually:
- Host: your host IP (e.g.
192.168.1.8)
- Port:
8085
On Android: Settings → Wi-Fi → Modify → Proxy → Manual
On iPhone: Settings → Wi-Fi → (network) → HTTP Proxy → Manual
4. Install the CA certificate
Transfer ca.crt to your phone, then:
- Android: Settings → Security → Install a certificate → CA certificate
- iPhone: Open the file → install profile → Settings → General → About → Certificate Trust Settings → enable it
Optional: Stable Exit IP via Upstream Forwarder
CAPTCHAs (Cloudflare Turnstile/bot challenge, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha) bind tokens
to the IP that solved the challenge. Cloudflare Workers exit through different
edge IPs per request, so verification on the target site fails even when you
solve the challenge. This optional add-on lets the Worker forward all fetch()
calls through a small Node server you run on a VPS with a stable IP — giving
the target site one consistent exit address.
When you need this
- Sites behind Cloudflare's bot challenge keep looping you back to the challenge page.
- Login forms reject you after solving a reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha.
- You need cookie continuity across requests (e.g.
cf_clearance).
If you don't hit these, leave it unconfigured — the Worker behaves exactly as before.
Why a separate server is required
Cloudflare Workers don't expose a stable outbound IP — fetch() exits through a rotating pool of Cloudflare edge IPs, which is exactly what breaks IP-bound CAPTCHA tokens. Cloudflare's static-egress options (BYOIP, Egress Workers) are Enterprise-tier, so a small VPS with a static IP is the practical workaround. The forwarder is just a thin proxy that re-issues the fetch() from a stable address.
1. Deploy the forwarder on a VPS
The reference implementation is deploy/upstream-forwarder/upstream_forwarder.js.
It needs Node 18+ and no dependencies. Run it behind Caddy or nginx with TLS —
the Worker rejects non-HTTPS forwarder URLs.
# On your VPS (Ubuntu/Debian example):
sudo apt install -y nodejs # must be 18+
export AUTH_KEY="some-long-random-string-at-least-32-chars"
export PORT=8787
node deploy/upstream-forwarder/upstream_forwarder.js
Front it with Caddy for auto-TLS:
forwarder.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8787
}
Quick smoke test:
curl -X POST https://forwarder.example.com/fwd \
-H "x-upstream-auth: $AUTH_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"u":"https://httpbin.org/ip","m":"GET","h":{}}'
The decoded response body should show the VPS's IP.
2. Wire the Worker to the forwarder
In the Cloudflare dashboard → your Worker → Settings → Variables and Secrets:
| Name |
Type |
Value |
UPSTREAM_FORWARDER_URL |
Secret |
https://forwarder.example.com/fwd |
UPSTREAM_AUTH_KEY |
Secret |
the same AUTH_KEY you set on the VPS |
UPSTREAM_FAIL_MODE |
Variable |
closed (default) — return 502 on forwarder failure. Use open to fall back to direct fetch. |
UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT_MS |
Variable (optional) |
default 25000 |
Save and redeploy the Worker.
3. Verify
Browse https://httpbin.org/ip through the proxy — you should see the VPS's IP, not Cloudflare's. Then revisit a CAPTCHA-protected site that wasn't working — the challenge should now validate.
The forwarder must require auth. Without AUTH_KEY it refuses to start. Anyone with the URL and key can use it as a relay, so keep both secret.
4. Scope the forwarder to specific hosts (optional)
By default every request the Worker handles routes through the forwarder, so unrelated traffic also burns VPS bandwidth. To send only the sites that need a stable exit IP through the VPS, list them in forwarder_hosts in config.json — same syntax as bypass_hosts (exact hostname or .suffix). Anything not matched falls back to direct fetch() on the Worker.
{
...
"forwarder_hosts": [
"example.com",
".cf-protected-suffix"
]
...
}
Leave the list empty (or remove the key) to keep the historical "forward everything" behavior.
