try disabling it and see if you get the ‘post’ requests again.

Alr dissabled :/

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:23 PM

you should check the logs and see the time of the ‘post’ requests and see if they were blocked by cloudflare or by the origin server.

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:23 PM

in my case it was the ‘bot fight mode’.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:25 PM

You mean the logs from cloudfare? Cuz I have been searching for those and the one I found where empty :/

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:26 PM

And nothing got changed on my own server so it would be weird if it just started blocking it after a few days

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:26 PM

Security > Analytics.

DDarkkaiser Security > Analytics.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:27 PM

Ye that all says no logs

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:28 PM

Whenever you access your website using your domain, you should see the requests in that section.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:30 PM

For Some reason it doesn’t log anything there

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:30 PM

Do I need to add a filter or security rule?

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:32 PM

No, at least not that I know.

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:32 PM

In my case I do have some rules, so...

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:33 PM

Oh hmm

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:33 PM

Idk why it just stopped working it’s all so weird

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:33 PM

Alr tried contacting Paypal but they said nothing was wrong

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:34 PM

in Analytics > Events, you have all blocked requests

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:35 PM

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:36 PM

It also stopped getting any info here

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:37 PM

that's weird, if when you enter your domain (example.com) it works, but you don't receive any request through cloudflare, possibly it's a problem with the DNS or NS.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:38 PM

Oh hm

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:38 PM

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:38 PM

did you buy the domain from cloudflare or are you using it as an extra layer?

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

Extra later

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

Later

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

Layer*

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

It’s via nameservers

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

From namecheap

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

that's the problem

DDarkkaiser that's the problem

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:39 PM

Oh why then? Cuz it first worked

Darkkaiser•6/12/25, 8:40 PM

you need to go to your domain provider and see what happened there.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:42 PM

I will try to contact them and come back to you alr?

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 8:57 PM

@Darkkaiser they told me everything gets processed first by the DNS provider and then by my server

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:01 PM

So it has to do with the server or Cloudflare but idk how I can find it :NotLikeThis:

DarkDeviL•6/12/25, 9:24 PM

@Sp1nkel, ... are you the same person from the Cloudflare Community thread I mentioned above?

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:30 PM

Ye but it was easier here couldn’t find the discord but I found it

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:30 PM

And on disc it’s more interactive and stuff

DarkDeviL•6/12/25, 9:30 PM

Great with that clarity, so we can avoid spreading the same topic across multiple distinct platforms.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:31 PM

Ohhh Mb :NotLikeThis:

DarkDeviL•6/12/25, 9:31 PM

With the addition of your domain name above, -

DarkDeviL•6/12/25, 9:31 PM

Your DNS records aren't Proxied (:cloudflare:), so Cloudflare is only working as a DNS provider for you.

DarkDeviL•6/12/25, 9:32 PM

The IPN requests (if they are being sent by PayPal) will be going directly from PayPal to your own server.

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:37 PM

Huh

Sp1nkelOP•6/12/25, 9:38 PM

Hmm cuz it looks like (for me) it looks like it does send but it doesn’t recive it at the server
