LLaudian Ok, did you configure your fallback origin?

yes I did like the docs said.
subdomain.customer1.comsubdomain.customer1.com
-> customers.mysaas.comcustomers.mysaas.com
-> fallback_proxy.mysaas.comfallback_proxy.mysaas.com

my problem was getting it to actually do anything, and it seems you have to setup the Worker to have a route like */**/* to catch all of that.

seems a bit confusing though - because then that worker doesn't show up in the DNS page. but this will work because I can at least bind multiple workers to the same customer subdomain under different directories.

There's a docs page for this (workers specifically): https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/start/advanced-settings/worker-as-origin/

According to the pricing page, the DDoS alerts are paid, but I'm using the free plan and I have an option in the notification settings to enable alerts for that.
Does that mean I will get alerts even if I'm using the free plan?

yeah free plan has email alerts, pro adds webhooks

Erisa

Erisa•3/5/25, 11:21 AM

yeah its a bit silly theyre limited in a world where email workers exist, surely email > worker > webhook is more expensive for cf than direct to a worker or webhook

Erisa

Erisa•3/5/25, 11:21 AM

and email worker free limits are so high i doubt youll run into them with just notifications

You can't add a ddns.netddns.net domain to Cloudflare, that domain is owned by No IP and you can't change the nameservers on it.

Isaac McFadyen•3/5/25, 2:43 PM

You must own domains you add to Cloudflare (and be able to change the nameservers)

depends on the ticket category

Erisa

Erisa•3/5/25, 6:28 PM

technical tickets are answered faster on higher plans, billing and account tickets are not

Erisa

Erisa•3/5/25, 6:28 PM

i usually recommend against increasing plan level just to get faster support though, its rarely worth the money and there are other ways (community escalations for example) to get answers faster if its important
