Oye @JammyDodger, creo que es hora de un FAQ de Cloudflare (aunque no es la primera vez que lo sugiero). Puedes hacer que Jeff y Sam opinen.

I can't login to admin after backup due to Cloudflare

Cloudflare isn’t broken, your implementation was. Let’s Encrypt won’t enroll a certificate while CloudFlare is proxying. It prevents the verification from going through. You can’t use any of their ‘performance’ features with Discourse as it alters the already-minified code. All CloudFlare can do for you is hide your IP and act as a CDN for your uploads. The benefits are minimal.

S3 image bandwidth costs are getting annoying

Cloudflare is fine - just disable their Rocket Loader feature. With no configuration effort, it saves half the bandwidth back to my server. It might be that years ago Cloudflare didn’t work well with Discourse, but it’s not true today. It would be nice if we didn’t keep seeing doubt about it. If anyone has a specific problem, they should start a support thread here describing what’s not working.
