require('http').createServer(require('bfn-proxy')()).listen(process.env.PORT||8080)

express/connect simple

Simple app using middleware, i.e. http://servername.com/ipecho.net/plain

var express = require('express')
var pxy = require('bfn-proxy')()

var app = express()

app.use(pxy)

express/connect advanced

Only allow access from your local server with URI prefix '/pxy', i.e. http://127.0.0.1/pxy/www.bluefidelity.com/

var express = require('express')
var pxy = require('bfn-proxy')()

var app = express()

app.use('/pxy/', function (req, res, next) {
	if (req.connection.remoteAddress !== '127.0.0.1') return next(new Error('Bad authentication data'))
	pxy(req, res) 
})
