Cobalt


A new minimal yet powerful proxy site built for users and developers.


View the censored web like never before with this new web proxy service in React supporting many sites. Third place winner for TN's 2023 Proxathon.







## Features
- Simple clean design
- Side panel for quick access to anything, anywhere
- Extremely customizable
- Massive library of themes
- Star your favorite sites
- View you browsing history
- Extensions
- Devtools (Eruda)

## Setup
**Run**

Run `npm start` to start a webserver and the Bare server. You may deploy Cobalt by using an external bare server and a static file host. Cobalt must be built before attempting to start.

**Build**

Run `npm run build` to build the app for production to the `build` folder.

**Development**

Run `npm run dev` to run the app in development mode.

**Deploy**

Click a button at the top of this page and follow the directions for an easy way to host Cobalt.

## Configuration

**Obfuscation**

File: [/src/consts.js](https://github.com/cognetwork-dev/Cobalt/blob/main/src/consts.js)

`const obfuscation = true | false;` - Choose to obfuscate text

**GitHub and Discord**

File: [/src/consts.js](https://github.com/cognetwork-dev/Cobalt/blob/main/src/consts.js)

`const github = "string";` - Update the Github links

`const discord = "string";` - Update the Discord link

**Bare Server**

File: [/public/uv/uv.config.js](https://github.com/cognetwork-dev/Cobalt/blob/main/public/uv/uv.config.js)

`bare: url,` - Ultraviolet bare server

## Goal
My goal for Cobalt was to make a proxy site that is very simple and easy to use, with only a side panel instead of pages, which you could access on any site. Along with having it be simple and easy to use, I also wanted it to have many configuration options and an extension system where the community could build unique tools to help you better use the web.

I will continue to work on Cobalt, and I hope to achieve everything I want in this project.

Overall it turned out very well, and if I were to choose a web proxy to use, I would select Cobalt!
