They can offer it for a long term for free but services around it then can be not free.

Then the settings are: ssl: off, browser cache ttl:1day,always online: on, cache level: cache everything
*.youdomain.com/admincp/*
Then the settings are: sslff, cache level: bypass

Those settings seem to cause too many redirects and inability to open my vb4 site at all.

The login.php and other stuff isn't needed, and for the admincp just bypass cache and disable performance.

I did only that (one rule only) and now it works okay.

But a possibly related to cloudflare issue I am having on this vb4 forum is that sometimes when a post or new thread is created with too many URLs in it, the post gets posted but a server (host) timeout error occurs.

Maybe this has to do with this app
Title Tag Fetcher (Auto Replace URL with Titletag)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=189658
that I continue to use on my vb4 forum. Maybe there is too much of a delay when multiple URLs titles are being fetched in one post.

The error I get that shows on the web does not indicate a cloudflare problem though, rather a host timeout.

I’ve been using cloudflare for a couple of days. I bypass cache and disabled performance on my admin panel. No issues so far. Do you guys use the firewall? I just activated it today. Usually I worry about firewall settings that it’ll cause issues.

I find the firewall pretty handy for blocking certain ASN's from accessing the registration page, that along with my block registrations by country mod has cut my spammers to also none.
