arcline-check

CLI tool that checks whether a domain is genuinely self-hosted or routing through a CDN or cloud provider (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront, etc.).

Core to the Arcline brand — useful as a standalone tool for anyone who wants to verify a host's transparency claims.

How it works

1. Resolves domain to IP
2. PTR/rDNS lookup
3. ASN/org lookup (ip-api.com or self-hosted fallback)
4. Checks IP against known CDN/cloud CIDR ranges
5. Fetches HTTP headers and inspects for CDN fingerprints (CF-Ray, X-Served-By, Via, X-Cache)
