a lightweight reverse proxy for bypassing CORS restrictions in browser environments. sometimes you just need to make a request without fighting preflight checks.

built with nitro so it deploys anywhereโ€”cloudflare workers, aws lambda, netlify edge, or plain node. handles protected header rewrites (X-* mappings), always allows cross-origin requests, and includes optional turnstile integration to prevent abuse.

useful for quick prototypes or when you need a simple proxy without spinning up a full backend. the jwt flow lets you verify the client once with turnstile, then reuse the token for subsequent requests.
