Hharryphilip1275 Must I turn off the proxy ? Yes I have valid SSLs

Peps•4/3/25, 10:32 PM

if you have a valid SSL cert then you just have to switch the SSL mode to be

full (strict)

full (strict)

, at the SSL settings on the dashboard

And the proxy on the A records ? Must I change those and turn off proxies ? it doesnt let me change SSL to strict as its only for Enterprise customers , when I turn off Proxies there is a recommendation to turn on proxies otherwise it exposes my IP but if it doesnt work then there is no point in cloudflare, this is 2nd time I have tried it and both times my website stopped working so now I am very leary of Cloudflare

ah right forgot strict is for ENT only, in that case regular

Full

Full

is fine.
You can leave proxy on, as you mentioned your SSL certs are correct. Just be aware that the ips you see when doing nslookup won't be yours, as that's expected.

But then the site doesnt work , so now I have lost confidence in cloudflare I have tried this twice and both times my site stopped working so had ot revert back to my original nameservers and thne it worked again

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:42 PM

full strict isn't ent, origin-pull is ent only

Peps•4/3/25, 10:42 PM

then the site doesnt work

Can you elaborate on that?

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:43 PM

so changing it to full will makeit work again ? I am skeptical I went back to my previous nameservers and paused Cloudflare and then the site worked again

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:43 PM

its gets a message too many redirects

Peps•4/3/25, 10:43 PM

That's because your ssl mode was likely set to

Flexible

Flexible

at the time

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:44 PM

and nslookup doesnt get the correct IP only very occasionally does it get the correct IP of my site

Peps•4/3/25, 10:44 PM

also I don't recommend switching between nameservers multiple times if you're actively troubleshooting issues, as it takes up to 24 hours (but usually about a hour) for the new nameserver to take effect

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:44 PM

how does SSL set to flexible make it get incorrect IP ?

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:45 PM

well how does one do this without switching I couldnt leave my site not working ? can I use Cloudflare without changing to their nameservers ?

Peps•4/3/25, 10:45 PM

At this point it's probably best to create a thread at #general-help and continue there, as this channel isn't quite meant for long-running troubleshooting sessions

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:46 PM

at this point I am giving up I think spent too much time on soemthing that doesnt work

Peps•4/3/25, 10:46 PM

That's fine. We gave you multiple solutions but you didn't try them, so unfortunately we can't help you further then

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:47 PM

how can I try them without switching to cloudflares nameservers ?

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:47 PM

what multiple solutions all you said was to switch from flexible to full

Hharryphilip1275 and nslookup doesnt get the correct IP only very occasionally does it get the ...

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:48 PM

Define correct IP

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:48 PM

You're proxying so you won't get an origin IP without disabling proxying

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:48 PM

the IP of the website

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:48 PM

It goes through cloudflare so it needs to return a cloudflare ip

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:49 PM

The point of cloudflare is to protect origin by not exposing IPs

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:49 PM

well it didnt work and browser said too many redirects

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:49 PM

(And proving ddos and everything else)

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:49 PM

Yes, usually due to ssl mode as mentioned

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:50 PM

If you can make a help thread we can solve this quickly but, if you don't want to spend more time that's understandable too

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:50 PM

but in order to test if that works I will have to changemy nameservers to Cloudflares right ?

Walshy•4/3/25, 10:50 PM

Yes.

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:50 PM

I can do that

harryphilip1275OP•4/3/25, 10:53 PM

OK I started a thread in General Help

@MathiTamilGaming please do not try to ping at-here, there are currently 8930 people online and pinging them all would be incredibly disruptive.

MathiTamilGaming•4/4/25, 3:42 PM

Sure

I agree we don't have permission to tag them, atleast we have permission to just mention their name right ?

MathiTamilGaming•4/4/25, 3:43 PM

It's ok,
CloudFlare is just simplyy Awesome
Thankyou team

Ddave How do I remove a request header _after_ using it in a Cache Rule?

dave•4/4/25, 3:51 PM

part non-answer:

Request Header Transform Rules

Request Header Transform Rules

don't seem to work for outgoing sub-requests from Workers

sh33p•4/4/25, 8:10 PM

I'm seeing data loss when using ReadableStream in a worker and providing 16kB chunks to it. Woile enqueue calls just disappear. Behind async I assumed it would just block until it was ready. Was that wrong?
