Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

DNSJack (with origin IP)

A simple DNS proxy that lets you intercept domains and route them to whatever IP you decide.

This fork includes the origin IP address, as well as using dnscache for caching lookup results.

It's available through npm:

npm install dnsjack-with-origin-ip

It's easy to use:

var jack = require('dnsjack-with-origin-ip').createServer();

jack.route('www.google.com', '127.0.0.1'); // route all requests to www.google.com to localhost
jack.listen(); // it listens on the standard DNS port of 53 per default

// route all domains to 127.0.0.1
jack.route(function(domain, originIp, callback) {
	callback(null, '127.0.0.1');
});

// route all google domains to 127.0.0.1
jack.route(['google.com', '*.google.com'], function(domain, originIp, callback) {
	callback(null, '127.0.0.1');
});

// route all google domains originating from 192.168.1.101 to 127.0.0.1
jack.route(['google.com', '*.google.com'], function(domain, originIp, callback) {
	if (originIp == '192.168.1.101') {
		callback(null, '127.0.0.1');
	}
});

// now all requests to google.com should be routed localhost
require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {
	res.writeHead(200);
	res.end('jack says hi!');
}).listen(80);

You probably need to run the above example with sudo as we need to listen to port 80 and 53. Now change your local DNS server to 127.0.0.1 and visit http://www.google.com in your browser.

DNSJack will forward all request that you don't route yourself to Google's DNS server or whatever DNS you provide in .createServer().

You can also use it to monitor your DNS resolutions which can be super useful for debugging:

var jack = require('dnsjack-with-origin-ip').createServer();

jack.on('resolve', function(domain) {
	console.log('Someone is resolving', domain);
});
jack.listen();
