Vercel reverse proxy for universal API access
Top 72.6% on sourcepulse
This project provides a free, universal reverse proxy service hosted on Vercel, designed to bypass network restrictions and accelerate access to various online services. It targets users in regions with poor network connectivity or those needing to access services like OpenAI, GitHub, and Google without direct access, offering a stable and fast alternative.
How It Works
The proxy leverages Vercel's free tier, which includes 100GB of monthly traffic. It functions by rewriting URLs, allowing users to access external services through a Vercel-hosted subdomain or a custom domain. The core mechanism involves prefixing the target URL with /https/
or /http/
followed by the actual service URL, enabling Vercel to route the request. This approach is advantageous for its simplicity and the use of Vercel's global CDN for potentially faster access.

parameter.Maintenance & Community
The project encourages community support through GitHub Stars. It is presented as a free tool, with commercial use explicitly excluded. No specific community channels (like Discord/Slack) or roadmap details are provided in the README.
Licensing & Compatibility
The project is stated to be completely free for non-commercial use. The README does not explicitly mention a software license, but the non-commercial restriction implies limitations for broader adoption.
Limitations & Caveats
Directly accessing proxied pages in a browser might lead to issues with certain JavaScript and CSS paths. The project's reliance on Vercel's free tier means usage is subject to Vercel's terms of service and potential future changes to their free offerings.
