What It Is
cochranblock.org is the production site of The Cochran Block, LLC — an SDVOSB-certified defense tech consultancy. The binary embeds all HTML, CSS, assets, PDFs, and a redb database. There is no cloud, no Docker, no CDN origin server — Cloudflare Tunnel routes traffic directly to a $10/month VPS running the binary.
