[@bugab]

Thanks for your video, please sir I wish to know how I can extend the lifespan of the shortened link. Regards

Do I have to add a subdomain when creating a route? I can't go with the main domain only?

[@DarioPorru]

Hi Johnny, is there a way to customize the key instead of having the self generated one? thanks D.

[@NetSec]

I am not sure if there is a way. Let me know if there is one.

the fork option is also disabled , i am really wanting to try this project but its like i am failing again and again .... 😞 when i try to edit index.html its also not updating ,

[@NetSec]

Fork option is fine. You should be able to fork it once you logged in with your own account.

[@SilentWisdom007]

@@NetSec sir , fork worked , the whole setup was success , but i was not able to understand how to bind our own domain and when i tried to make a short link , it showed unknown error always

[@NetSec]

Video shows the process to bind your Cloudflare managed domain to your workers. Are you using Cloudflare to manage your own domain? Are you able to launch the page using your own sub-domain?

[@SilentWisdom007]

@@NetSec with huge respect sir , if i explain properly , i successfully did the deployment via my own repository , but the main issue is that when i bind my domain , it sets a redirect to some domain which is not in any file , and there was confusion on binding the domain area, cloudflare has updated so many things , and their layout as well , thats why.

Your own demo url link in readme file is also not working , it asks for password and then redirects to your blog as well , please need your answer on this if you can help. thanks

[@NetSec]

that is on purpose to ask the password, you can type 'cool' as password after removed the space in the textbox. Then it should direct you to the right page. Else, it will be treated wrong password to redirect to my website 51sec.org.

Hi Johnny, thank you for this wonderful video. How can I password protect the URL website just like yours is protected with password?

[@NetSec]

Watch the video 10:00 , or you can check blog post: blog.51sec.org/2022/06/url-shorten-serviec-powered-by.html

[@SilentWisdom007]

The index.js file is not showing url shorten user interface , it is instead redirecting to your blog url link , i dont know if the code is changed by you or there is some other error ,

[@NetSec]

If you can see password textbox prompted, it is working. If not right password entered or not entered password, it will auto-redirect to my blog site.

[@SilentWisdom007]

@@NetSec sir i was trying to edit the program for myself as in my own way , but i was confused how can i fork it with my own repository , so overall , i was only able to run only your own program ,instead of mine .

[@SilentWisdom007]

sir, i tried the project but in your index,js file , its your own website which it is showing now instead of link shortner , is there anything i am doing wrong ? or its no more working ? please let me know

[@OneITTrick]

did you get a chance to enter password to enter URL shorten website?

[@SilentWisdom007]

@@OneITTrick if password is put correctly in his demo link , it shows url shortner properly. but i am talking about copy and pasting the index.js file in deployment area, when i do that , it shows me his own blog site , instead of the url shortner interface . thats the issue
