Anyone tried cloudflare before?

Cloudflare is awesome. It helps protect your site from viruses and attacks.
It also reduce the amount of bandwidth you use for your hosting.
It also provides CDN (Content delivery network) to help you site loads faster all around the world.

Unless you have a big site with around 1.5k visitors per second.
 
Hi,

Highly recommended! My website uses Cloudflare, and it's great when you want to hide your IP. Besides this, it saves a lot of bandwidth and stops some robots activity. Here on my website it works great! (Using a forum with Discuz!X 2)

Thanks! I do have some CloudFlare tips for forums I can share. If you're using a platform like VB, for example, you might see some strange behavior without modifying your server for log files.

Thanks for the support! Since we don't act like a traditional CDN, I do cover some frequently asked questions about the CloudFlare CDN in a blog post (we still get a lot of questions about the CDN and how to configure, when it is actually all done automatically by file extension).
 
CF

Yeah, we integrated cloudflare and clients like it and works good overall.

Can't say it's a massive improvement but it's noticable.
 
damoncloudflare please can you see what is the problem with facebook and cloudflare.

Example when i like to share link on facebook from my site links is shared but the image not showing .

This happened on 2 from 3 news. I know that this is the problem with cloudflare because i tried to change dns back to namecheap dns, and i tried 10 news to share to facebook no problem at all 10 from 10 success. PLease can you check what is the problem.

BTW great service
 
Hi,

"Example when i like to share link on facebook from my site links is shared but the image not showing ."

You would actually want to contact Facebook about this. We wouldn't impact this at all. I've seen this happen before & it might have to do with security at Facebook.
 
Cloudflare is awesome . If you are using for a VB forum make sure you change how your forum handles proxies or almost all your members can get locked out due to them having the same ip because of cloudflares proxie .

There is no need to disable the strike system just use this simple mod
Code: 
In class_core.php ;

Find ;

        // fetch client IP address
        $registry->ipaddress = $this->fetch_ip();
        define('IPADDRESS', $registry->ipaddress);

        // attempt to fetch IP address from behind proxies - useful, but don't rely on it...
        $registry->alt_ip = $this->fetch_alt_ip();
        define('ALT_IP', $registry->alt_ip);


Replace with ;

        // Paul M - Set IP addresses
        $registry->ipaddress = $this->fetch_ip();
        $registry->alt_ip = $this->fetch_alt_ip();

        if ($registry->ipaddress == $registry->alt_ip)
        {
            define('PROXYIP',''); 
            define('ALT_IP',$registry->alt_ip);
            define('IPADDRESS',$registry->ipaddress);
        }
        else
        {
            define('ALT_IP',$registry->alt_ip);
            define('IPADDRESS',$registry->alt_ip); 
            define('PROXYIP',$registry->ipaddress);
            $registry->ipaddress = $registry->alt_ip;
        }

This is taken from a vbulletin mod called proxie to real ip . really this simple change is all thats needed for it to work on any forum or blog
 
OK anyone known FAcebook IP range i will add them to whitelist on CLoudflare

I found one ip range on google but i think facebook have more
 
CloudFlare and UK datacenters

Hi,


Just a quick update:


We're shooting for a UK datacenter (datacentre) online by the end of Sept. Give or take a little bit, of course.
 
It seems DLE is not compatible with cloudflare. DLE user often receive message "Attention, you have reached the maximum number of unsuccessful attempts to login to the site. Account Access blocked for 20 minutes. Try again to login to the site through above time. If you forgot your password, make a password recovery in homepage. Reset your password, you can also just at the end of lock time"

And this is function to check allow login if anyone needs

Code: 
function check_allow_login($ip, $max ) {
    global $db;

    $block_date = time()-1200;

    $row = $db->super_query( "SELECT * FROM " . PREFIX . "_login_log WHERE ip='{$ip}'" );

    if ( $row['count'] AND $row['date'] < $block_date ) $db->query( "DELETE FROM " . PREFIX . "_login_log WHERE ip = '{$ip}'" );

    if ($row['count'] > $max AND $row['date'] > $block_date ) return false;
    else return true;

}
 
First of all DLE is crap.

CloudFlare does work very well, I've some experience now and we provide it on our shared servers. (Integrated.)

    if ($row['count'] > $max AND $row['date'] > $block_date ) return false;
    else return true;

}

It's because your visitors/members get CloudFlare's IP range. If you run Apache, you can use mod_rpaf to reveal the real IP addresses. It will do the trick.
 
I have a small problem. I'm using cloudflare through one of your hosting partners. Now in the Cpanel settings of my site( where i can control cloudflare's settings), i see this

http://i.imgur.com/vjZ49.jpg

Due to some reason cloudflare is activated on www.domain.com and not on domain.com . Due to this my traffic isn't showing up in cloudflare's dashboard( according to the CF stats only 4 users visited my website). Is there any way to correct this?
