Not working with cloudflare
Not working on cloudflare protected domains, even with mod_remoteip
Seen this before and unfortunately unable to test or find a solution as I simply don't use cloudflare for anything. The blocker itself is more than capable of doing the work I and hundreds of users require it to do without putting cloudflare into the equation.
only real solution was to implement htaccess rules when using cloudflare, hope some one find another way server wide
Glad u found a partial solution ... There are some nginx setting to capture / forward real ips. I'll post those for you to try.
Hi, I'd like to second this concern. I would like to help solve this issue for my Cloudflare -> Plesk Nginx -> Apache stack. It should be possible by using the X-FORWARDED-FOR header or similar, assuming we can get it through the proxy chain. I am going to start looking into a fix but any sample nginx configs would be a big help.
I'm starting here as a refresher on how cloudflare and Nginx can keep the true origin IP passed through https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170706-How-do-I-restore-original-visitor-IP-with-Nginx-
For the IP Passthrough I found out that the free version of the ServerShield Cloudflare Plesk extension activates and configures their mod_cloudflare module; looking promising. These links should help others: https://www.cloudflare.com/technical-resources/ and https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-install-mod_cloudflare-without-extension.342938/
Also the bottom of this thread showing both Apache and NGINX pieces https://talk.plesk.com/threads/nginx-ngx_http_realip_module-for-plesk.334492/
Hello,
I am using wordpress with cloudflare. I use a plugin for site settings.
add_filter('robots_txt', 'clc_robots_file'); function clc_robots_file( $robotext ) { include CLC_SITE_SETTINGS_PATH . 'inc/robots.php'; return $robotext . $robot_file_additions; }
the robots.php contains the file as a string. It has been working for me if anyone finds it useful.
Just wanted to mention that it works fine for me with Apache and mod_cloudflare (as per the support doc previously linked by @elverado) 👍
EDIT: I just found out that mod_cloudflare is not supported anymore (even though it works on Ubuntu 20.04), but in turn mod_remoteip is supported. I can confirm that it works for me too.
