I use mailgun elsewhere. I am going to assume it is as simple as using that instead.

Is anyone aware of a mechanism for "CNAME flattening" to be done by other domain providers in a way that is compatible with workers?

I.e. if you want to host a worker at myroute.com, you have to define a "CNAME" for myroute.com. That's not wise (all subdomains / records get borked)... so Cloudflare has a mechanism called "CNAME flattening" that reconciles this problem by turning the "CNAME" at the root into A records on demand.

However, Workers require "recognizing" this domain as being CNAME'd to the worker route in question. They recognize Cloudflare "CNAME flattening," but not similar mechanisms by other providers (i.e. Namecheap provides ALIAS records that do much the same).

Is anyone aware of a way to get this to work? i.e. host a domain on Namecheap and CNAME the root to Cloudflare workers in a way that makes Cloudflare workers happy? (They just see an A record).

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 1:00 AM

it's more that you can't just point cnames to cloudflare zones or workers, it just doesn't work

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 1:00 AM

workers don't have unique ips or anything, you're just pointing to the edge, a shared ip from a pool

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 1:01 AM

on your own zones you have worker routes/custom domains which allow that specific hostname to execute

cole•7/2/24, 1:01 AM

Right. So I have that set up, but I'm using the SaaS worker stuff, so the other domains have to CNAME to my route

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 1:02 AM

Right, CF For SaaS enables that. You can't get apex proxying outside of Enterprise so you need to rely on alias records, but it should just work if you go through the prevalidation and such

Does anyone know if we can force outbound Worker requests having an IPv4 address?
We are using an external service (so not hosted on Cloudflare), that can't handle incoming requests since they are coming from an IPv6 address. They can only handle IPv4. Is there something like "Pseudo IPv4" but for outbound requests?

If the external service doesn't have AAAA records/support IPv6, how would you be connecting to them over IPv6? Workers are cool but not magical lol

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 10:39 PM

fetch uses the normal cdn pipeline too which prefers IPv4 over IPv6

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 10:40 PM

If they do use Cloudflare though, they'd see the cf-connecting-ip as the Cloudflare's cross-cf worker's IP, which is

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 10:44 PM

ohhh ok I thought they weren't on Cloudflare since you said "so not hosted on Cloudflare"

berkinovish•7/2/24, 10:45 PM

Yeah it's not hosted on my Cloudflare account I meant indeed, was unaware they were on Cloudflare

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 10:45 PM

If I understand correctly, would they need to enable "Pseudo IPv4" on their Cloudflare account then?

~~No, it'll always be that IPv6, regardless of their settings or yours.~~ It's just the IP Workers use cross-zone/account. You can use the CF-Worker header to tell which zone sent it
Edit: Psuedo IPv4 on their zone would, your settings don't effect anything though

ChaikaOP•7/2/24, 10:47 PM

if you wanted docs to refer them to: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/http-request-headers/#cf-connecting-ip-in-worker-subrequests

In cross-zone subrequests from one Cloudflare zone to another Cloudflare zone, the CF-Connecting-IP value will be set to the Worker client IP address '2a06:98c0:3600::103' for security reasons.

I see, that's very helpful! So this is an edge case, since we are both using Cloudflare Workers (I'm assuming they are), but they are on a different zone, they get the internal worker IPv6 address in

CF-Connecting-IP

, even though they don't have IPv6 set up.

If I understand correctly, there is no easy fix for this on both our sides right?

Yep

If I understand correctly, there is no easy fix for this on both our sides right?

I thought about it again and tested it, and Psuedo IPv4 does convert the Worker's IPv6 into a Class-E IPv4, but it's not an easy fix and has a lot of drawbacks of its own. Some legacy systems require IPv4 for fraud reasons or do GeoIP lookups, both of which would fail. Having non-real IPv4s in logging/analytics systems is messy as well if trying to understand/piece together logs or build reports.
In a perfect world they would tell your traffic apart from the CF-Worker header when it's a worker, otherwise enough people using CF Workers will run into other rate limits/issues. If they were a partner you were closely tied to, you could pass the actual user's IP in a seperate header too depending on the purpose of your integration.

ChaikaOP•7/3/24, 12:10 AM

You always have the cumbersome but feasible option of using a proxy that your worker sends requests through as well

Thanks so much @Chaika, this really was incredibly helpful. I passed the info (and suggested solutions) on the other service. Definitely an error they'll be running into again if more and more people start using Cloudflare Workers!

cole•7/3/24, 1:13 PM

I want to check on whether I am missing something obvious...

I have a worker bound to a domain like

api.something.com

api.something.com

. And then I set up SaaS hostnames for it. In order to do that, I set up a route

*/*

*/*

in order to match all of the requests.

Unfortunately, that means I cannot also have another SaaS worker at

other-api.something.com

other-api.something.com

. (Because the

*/*

*/*

route is taken). Is that expected?

A way to make this work would be to write specific routes for SaaS (instead of

*/*

*/*

). But that would be ~ 1 route per custom hostname. Is that expected or advisable to write that many routes?

*/*

*/*

is a nice solution, but it only works once per Zone. Which means one SaaS worker per zone

ChaikaOP•7/3/24, 8:09 PM

What are you looking for exactly, how would two SaaS workers help you? Routes are matched on the incoming hostname which is their custom hostname, they couldn't CNAME at a specific subdomain and get a specific worker for example. You could use a worker or a snippet as a gateway though alongside custom hostname metadata and then use service binding and such to direct to the right one

ChaikaOP•7/4/24, 3:55 AM

it can take a bit for it to stop working/fail espec if they all come in at once, and the exact behavior depends on the worker route settings (can make it fail open -> requests straight to origin) or fail closed (worker custom domains just do this). If the question is just about billing you won't get charged for more or forced to upgrade or anything, it'll just eventually stop working

lsmmle•7/4/24, 3:55 AM

Ok thanks

lsmmle•7/4/24, 3:56 AM

is there a way to upgrade to the $5/month plan for the 300.000 daily requests but disable billing for requests past the 300.000?
