BYOD — Build Your Own Domain_

Blocked at school? Make your own private link to this site in about 2 minutes. 100% free.

TUTORIAL!

Step 1

Go to workers.cloudflare.com and make an account. Create a worker — make sure you start with the Hello World template — and give it a name. That name becomes your link, so pick something boring like math-notes-hub.

Step 2

When it's created you land on the worker overview page. In the top right, click Edit Code.

Step 3

On the edit code page, delete everything and paste this in:

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const url = new URL(request.url);

    // Proxy everything to the site below
    const upstreamUrl = new URL(url.pathname + url.search, "https://f4l.dumb.today");

    return fetch(upstreamUrl, {
      method: request.method,
      headers: request.headers,
      body: request.body,
      redirect: "manual",
    });
  }
}

The URL on the // Proxy everything to the site below line is what the worker mirrors. It is auto-filled with the domain you are reading this on (https://f4l.dumb.today) — swap it for any other mirror if this one ever goes down.

Step 4

Hit Deploy. Your worker gets a link like your-name.workers.dev — open it and the full games list loads through your own domain.

Enjoy!

Tip: don't share your link in a big group chat. Links that spread fast are the ones that get blocked fast. If yours dies, just make another worker with a new name.

OTHER WAYS TO MAKE YOUR OWN LINK

Method 2 — Vercel / Netlify rewrite

Make a free Vercel account, create an empty project with one file called vercel.json, and deploy. You get a your-name.vercel.app link that mirrors this site:

{
  "rewrites": [
    { "source": "/(.*)", "destination": "https://f4l.dumb.today/$1" }
  ]
}

On Netlify the same thing goes in a file called netlify.toml using a [[redirects]] block with status = 200.

Method 3 — GitHub Pages redirect page

The simplest one. Make a public GitHub repo, add an index.html with the snippet below, then turn on Pages in the repo settings. Your link becomes your-username.github.io/repo-name. It only redirects (it does not proxy), so it dies if the main domain itself is blocked — but school filters usually block by name, not destination.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Class Notes</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://f4l.dumb.today">
  </head>
  <body>Loading notes...</body>
</html>

Method 4 — Free subdomain pointed here

Grab a free subdomain from a service like js.org, is-a.dev, or eu.org and point a CNAME record at your worker from Method 1. You end up with something clean like notes.is-a.dev that looks nothing like a games site.

Method 5 — No hosting at all (offline file)

Download the single HTML file or the offline version and keep it in your Drive or on a USB stick. Open it and everything runs from that one file — no domain to block.

Method 6 — Rotate

Best practice is to run two links from different methods (say a worker plus a Pages redirect) and keep one in reserve. When one gets blocked, switch, and spin up a replacement the same day.
