you setup regular tests in the dashboard, theyre ran from your client devices and you get a bunch of metrics about user connectivity as a result

DubzOP•6/23/23, 7:46 AM

ahhh gotcha

DubzOP•6/23/23, 7:46 AM

does it require WARP to be connected?

Erisa•6/23/23, 7:46 AM

yeah

Erisa•6/23/23, 7:46 AM

monitoring WARP performance is the main appeal of DEX

DubzOP•6/23/23, 7:58 AM

gotcha, makes sense. thanks!

Yup. Normal cache runs after workers run, so anything you do in the worker will run before normal cache.

Pprender if I offer cloudflare for saas application and people sign up and then I want to...

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:27 AM

Unfortunately it hasnt changed since the last time you asked, it still requires Enterprise. Theres no workaround available

Pprender its very unclear what things I can do with cf for saas for the free,pro,business...

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:27 AM

Does this help? https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/plans/

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:34 AM

Yeah you can use query strings to bust cache

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:35 AM

I see, thanks for the feedback

zegevlier•6/23/23, 11:46 AM

This limitation is due to the way DNS works. Usually with CF for SaaS, you get a CNAME record that your customers point to. CNAME cannot be put on the apex usually. Apex proxying give you some IP addresses that your customers can point to. Having said that, if your customers are on Cloudflare they can create the CNAME record on the apex, since CF will then flatten it, so you do not need apex proxying. Other DNS providers also might allow this

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:48 AM

Yeah, if their DNS provider will accept a CNAME on apex then you dont need the feature, its Ent-only because it requires a static IP

Erisa•6/23/23, 11:48 AM

(IPs are very expensive)

zegevlier•6/23/23, 11:50 AM

Yup

Pprender i think in practice, often this though was available?

zegevlier•6/23/23, 11:52 AM

That depends on the DNS host. You'd have to try it out, I'm not sure how many do it

zegevlier•6/23/23, 11:56 AM

I believe so, yes

Peps•6/23/23, 12:02 PM

it would be very minimal

Peps•6/23/23, 12:02 PM

DNS queries are usually cached

Peps•6/23/23, 12:02 PM

if the client can quickly switch DNS records in a couple seconds, they should be fine

Peps•6/23/23, 12:03 PM

best to have 2 tabs open, one with the old record to delete, and another with the new record.

sr•6/23/23, 12:05 PM

You can increase the tll on the a record the day before, that way users cache it and you can then change out the records

sr•6/23/23, 12:05 PM

Unless they happen to go to the site for the first time between the delete and create and no upstream dns has cached it

sr•6/23/23, 12:07 PM

Why do you have to wait?

sr•6/23/23, 12:08 PM

Increase it to 1minute? Should not take anyone that long to change it

sr•6/23/23, 12:08 PM

Yes

sr•6/23/23, 12:08 PM

Yeah and this

sr•6/23/23, 12:13 PM

For dns?
