OpenFlareOpen-source CDN Orchestration & Edge Security Platform

Supports reverse proxy, centralized configuration synchronization, Pages static hosting, secure intranet penetration (Tunnels), dynamic WAF protection, and anti-CC challenges.

🛰️

Centralized Config Sync

Sync configurations across all nodes in real time via WebSockets and heartbeats with sub-second hot reload. Instantly retrieve alerts and statuses.

🌐

Distributed CDN Orchestration

Orchestrate scattered and independent OpenResty nodes into a highly collaborative CDN fleet with multi-upstream load balancing.

📄

Pages Static Hosting

Upload pre-built frontend zip assets directly; edge nodes pull, extract, and serve them locally at high performance with API proxying.

🚇

Secure Intranet Penetration (Tunnels)

An open-source alternative to Cloudflare Tunnels. Expose local intranet services securely to the public network without a public IP or open inbound ports.

🛡️

Edge WAF Protection

Dynamic WAF rules with differential syncing of IP groups to Lua shared memory without Nginx reloads, plus country-level regional access control.

🧩

Anti-CC & Bot Defense (PoW)

Built-in high-performance client-side cryptographic Proof of Work challenges (similar to Turnstile) to intercept botnets and scrapers at the edge.
