is it legal to have a self hosted "cdn" (a web file server) behind cloudflare proxy? if yes are there any rules like cache has to be disabled or smth?
I wanted to run a file browser for my vps and I would get big files from it sometimes and idk if this is allowed

FeArOP•9/5/23, 6:12 PM

FeArOP•9/5/23, 6:12 PM

If you aren’t specifically using a service on the Developer Platform(R2, KV, Workers, etc.) or a Media-based product(Stream for Videos, Images for images), then no, you may not. Traffic to those apps must not be disproportionately non-HTML content

Kasumi•9/5/23, 6:50 PM

Does cloudflare detect MySQL connections on http or https or not? And is this allowed?

FeArOP•9/5/23, 6:50 PM

but with these services its impossible to do what I want, no?

FeArOP•9/5/23, 6:51 PM

because I need a file browser on my machine, not just some hosting

FFeAr but with these services its impossible to do what I want, no?

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/5/23, 6:52 PM

When you say file browser, do you mean being able to see files in a directory, being able to search through their content, filter…?

FeArOP•9/5/23, 6:53 PM

I download 20GB files from time to time

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/5/23, 6:56 PM

Most of that should be able to be built with Workers + R2, with some tweaking

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/5/23, 6:58 PM

Though I would note that you can’t directly deploy filebrowser to Workers, you would have to write your own Worker to do something similar

FeArOP•9/5/23, 7:03 PM

yeah so it sucks

Soham•9/5/23, 7:05 PM

cant really complain when its free

FFeAr yeah so it sucks

Hello, I’m Allie!•9/5/23, 7:14 PM

You are free to run filebrowser with the proxy disabled, if you want to

FeArOP•9/5/23, 7:14 PM

well that exposes my ip

dave•9/5/23, 8:20 PM

Can CF Access enforce/check a header called

Authorization

Authorization

kian•9/5/23, 8:24 PM

Nope, but the WAF probably can depending on your requirements.

dave•9/5/23, 8:24 PM

how many WAF rules does the Pro plan get? 5?

kian•9/5/23, 8:25 PM

dave•9/5/23, 8:31 PM

Is this correct?

dave•9/5/23, 8:41 PM

ah never mind, I see I can do an IP allowlist instead, and then just do the "more expensive" header check in my Worker

Original message was deleted

dave•9/5/23, 9:01 PM

ah oops, you're right, thanks!

dave•9/5/23, 9:04 PM

all good, I decided not to use the WAF anyway.

dave•9/5/23, 9:05 PM

doing an IP allowlist with Access to narrow the scope down, and then I'll check the header in my Worker code itself.

dave•9/5/23, 9:05 PM

The IP allowlist is pretty small and the vendor/owner of the block will likely not be trying to DDoS me with requests lol

Any plans to support deploying Golang web apps?
Either as a binary or as a container?

Cyb3r-Jak3•9/5/23, 11:28 PM

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. JavaScript is used because of the security with v8 isolate for security which golang doesn’t have

stavros-k•9/5/23, 11:30 PM

Containers should solve this. (With security policies in place ofc)
I know that it might not be in the form of workers that are spun up when a request come.

Cyb3r-Jak3•9/5/23, 11:35 PM

Containers are also a lot larger. Add the max worker size is 10 MB which has a slower cold start time. And the 1 MB for quicker workers

stavros-k•9/5/23, 11:37 PM

Yea I agree that not everything can be a worker. But I currently see a need in market for platforms that you can throw a container and not having to manage either vms, k8s deployments etc.
Currently I could only find 2-3 providers that would do that in a reasonable price.

stavros-k•9/5/23, 11:38 PM

Like the digital oceans “app” service or like railway

Would love to see Cloudflare as a hosting partner as well.
I can't for the life of me understand why someone would choose Vercel over CF to host their Astro site...

You won't get the full response body out of a ray id unfortunately, just that info you've already found

kath•9/6/23, 9:38 AM

is it possible to make cloudflare warp tunnels to send all data to the local network? Like make it run all the data get fetched on the server so its comming from the ip on that device

sathoro•9/6/23, 11:03 AM

I don't think I've ever gotten this before. hadn't made any DNS changes in weeks
