Hi, I was told a while back that I had to add a line to enable CloudFlare compatibility? Can someone please explain to me the exact steps to do so? I would like to enable and use CloudFlare for my website. All help is much appreciated!

Wait a moment, this works and has worked for a very long time [image] Full site CDN acceleration for Discourse Self-Hosting Fastly , CloudFlare and a few other CDNs offer a mode where they accelerate dynamic content. In a nutshell you point your domain IP address at the …

How: Just stand up a nginx with a single proxy_pass rule at OVH (“the premier bargain basement cloud provider”) or something. You CANNOT put long polling behind CloudFlare. They terminate long-running requests as, incidentally, a anti-DoS measure. Because DDoS protection is a priority for you, set…
