Hi, CloudFlare is a free service, with an option to upgrade to more advanced features and caching

Hi Sonic, Thanks:) I'm still finding that a lot of our customers don't know about our free IPv6 gateway.

"And my hosting requested cloudflare to provide service directly using cPanel and there is no answer from cloudflare team... why?" I don't handle this. Generally speaking, however, the team responds back to all hosting partner inquiries within two business days. If they haven't heard back from...

Hi, It appears in your settings (settings->CloudFlare settings->Security Settings->Basic Security Level->Use drop down

CloudFlare just released a new tool to help site owners deal with DDoS attacks.

You are getting that error message, if server is actually up, because you have server or host rules blocking requests from our IPs. Please make sure that our IPS are whitelisted. "If users push this button bypass cloudflare cache?" No. It just retries the site to see if the site is up and...

Just a couple of quick notes relative to CloudFlare... -We now support non Latin characters in our UI (International Domain Names!). -Dreamhost is now partnered with CloudFlare

Hi, "need to change any of your site's existing code" Not at all. You would just want to make sure those CloudFlare IPs are whitelisted on your server (.htacess, firewall, etc.) and with your host.

CloudFlare IPs Just a quick note that we have started broadcasting out over some new CloudFlare IPs. We would strongly recommend updating your firewall and server allow rules to make sure that connections from CloudFlare's IPs are accepted by your server.

Hi, "1. Cloudflare is neither a reverse proxy nor is it meant to be used for DDoS protection. 2.If you really want to protect yourself form DDoS get a hardware level firewall or use a service that provides real DDoS protection ( this too will cost you something in the upper hundreds or...

Hi Thanks. We can actually help mitigate most attacks (not all). Some general tips if you're going to use CloudFlare and you are having a DDoS.

Hi, We don't release the server IP in a DMCA complaint (or other complaint) against any site (we changed our policies months ago relative to this). We have also toughened up what is required in a DMCA complaint before we will respond to the complaint.

Hi, When you change DNS away from us we don't have any direct control over how fast the registrar makes that change & the propagation (can take between 24-72 hours). This is actually up to the registrar. ---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------...

Hi, "I just tried it and its pretty awesome, I don't have to pay for another front-end server :) It works well with a nginx/apache setup too." Awesome. Did you also take care of installing mod_cloudflare or the nginx info for restoring original visitor IP?

Hi, -CloudFlare does not have bandwidth limitations at all. We explain this here. Static images are definitely not an issue at all & CloudFlare caches these static resources.

Hi, What do you mean you couldn't access the site? Site offline: If you were getting a site offline or unavailable message, then this means your server was down or something was blocking our requests (our ips should be whiltelisted).

CloudFlare Captcha No, not all users would see a captcha before they enter a site. The IP has had to show bad online activity from one of CloudFlare's data sources before a challenge happens (very few visitors actually see a challenge).

Hi, "That's awesome! If you're familiar with our case at all, I'm guessing you've seen all the BS DMCA requests that are sent to us." We had to. A lot of people contact us with a misunderstanding about what they can file a DMCA complaint for & just trying to be less than honest. We also...

CloudFlare Always Online Just a quick note that Always Online will not serve a full version of your site when your server is down. The Always Online feature also has some limitations. ---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ---------- Always Online...

CloudFlare/DMCA complaints CloudFlare however will give up your backend IP in the case that it receives a DMCA request. We actually do not at this time. We changed our policy several months ago surrounding this & we will only give out the hosting provider's name (not server IP address). We...
