A lightweight, self-contained web tool to securely sanitize config.json files for MeshCentral servers. Easily redact sensitive data like passwords, domains, IPs, and user details before sharing configs publicly—without compromising structure or usability.

Perfect for developers, admins, and support teams troubleshooting MeshCentral setups while protecting privacy.

• Sensitive Data Redaction: Automatically replaces passwords, keys, session secrets, and other critical values with REDACTED.
• Domain & IP Anonymization:
  • Replaces custom domains with placeholders like domain-1.com (preserving subdomains, e.g., sub.domain-1.com).
  • Redacts external IPs (internal networks like 192.168.x.x are preserved).
  • Ignores known public domains (e.g., google.com, cloudflare.com, meshcentral.com).
• User/Group Anonymization: Converts user paths (e.g., user/mysecretdomain/mysecretuser) to safe placeholders like user/domain-1/user-1.
• Irrelevant Cleanup: Removes UI/comments/customization keys (e.g., titles, images, session recording) for a lean, shareable config.
• Preserves Schema: Maintains JSON validity and $schema untouched for seamless re-use.
• Offline & Portable: Single HTML file—no server, installs, or dependencies. Run locally via browser.

2. Load your existing config.json or paste.
