Mirror Site

  • Nov 01, 2019

Mirror sites or mirrors are replicas of other websites or any network node. The concept of mirroring applies to network services accessible through any protocol, such as HTTP or FTP. Such sites have different URLs than the original site, but host identical or near-identical content.

If a site was block by internet censorship, a mirror site can bypass the cencorship and reach the destination server without a proxy or VPN. This can be archive by a javascript and cloudflare worker.

Example for mirror site : This is the main site and This is the mirror site

Mirror of Baidu Mirror of Google

With this access to the blocked website can be archive without a VPN or proxy.

The code as below :
