ComputeStacks offers a number of integration points to enable seamless integration with Cloudflare.

Real IP

We automatically accept the real visitor IP header from cloudflare and pass that along to your application as our standard real ip header. (see tip about real IP here).

CloudFlare Access & Restricting Traffic

You can block all external traffic to your site, and only allow traffic originating from Cloudflare. This offers a number advantages for Cloudflare enabled sites:

• Ensure malicious users are not bypassing Cloudflare's WAF
• When paired with Cloudflare access, provide a safe way of blocking access to unauthenticated users.
• Ensure users are not bypassing your Cloudflare cache and increasing your bandwidth costs
