Ciprand
Ciprand is a minimal self-hosted Go service — a single ~90-line net/http handler — that returns cryptographically random hex strings: GET /api?len=20&count=10 for ten 20-character strings back as JSON, capped at 199 characters and 199 strings per call. The README's public demo (ciprand.p3p.repl.co) no longer resolves — Replit retired that free always-on hosting format years ago — so as of this check it only works once cloned, given a PORT env var, and put behind your own reverse proxy, the same deploy-it-yourself pattern as CORS Proxy.
