Custom Headers not working on Automatic URL Switching External Server
So I've got a fully working setup, in general, using Cloudflare fronting everything and requiring Cloudflare Access HTTP Service Auth headers, and using the "Custom Headers" in the iOS Mobile app.
I was excited to try the new "Automatic URL switching" so that I could use a LAN address on home WiFi, seems like the perfect option so that the app doesn't always have to go out through Cloudflare when at home
However, I can't use it because I'm 99% sure that the way the settings page works in the iOS mobile app is when you enter the "External Network" endpoint, it looks like it tries to connect to the server to verify it works before saving the setting.
It appears that this server check must not be using the Custom Headers w/ my Cloudflare Service Auth headers, so it fails the check and won't save the external network server URL.
And thus, the whole point of Custom Headers to use Cloudflare Service Auth on WAN can't seemingly play nice with automatic URL switching, sadly
Unless I'm missing something...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
