How BareProxy Plan Shows What a Config Change Will Do Before It Goes Live

The riskiest moment in a proxy’s day is a config change. Cloudflare’s two outages at the end of 2025 both started with one that reached every server within seconds. BareProxy checks every config in full before it can go live, and plan goes one step further: it says which requests will be handled differently.

That works because BareProxy has no regular expressions and no scripting. Every matcher is an exact value, a prefix or a set, so the requests a site can receive fall into a finite number of classes, and every request in a class is handled the same way. plan works out what happens to each class under the old config and the new one, and prints the classes that change.
