  Most DevOps engineers have heard of the term "reverse proxy," but few understand what it actually means. I was in a technical interview once where someone confidently said, "Nginx is a reverse proxy," but couldn't explain what that meant or why it mattered. Let me break this down. >> A Forward Proxy (Proxy) sits between you and the internet. << > You want to visit a website. > Your request goes through the proxy first. > The proxy makes requests on your behalf. > The website sees the proxy's IP, not yours. > This is what VPNs do. > This is what corporate networks use to control what employees can access. The client is hidden. The server doesn't know who the real requester is. >> A Reverse Proxy flips this completely. << > You're trying to access a website. > You think you're connecting to the actual server. > But you're hitting a proxy that sits in front of the real servers. > The proxy receives your request, decides which backend server should handle it, forwards it there, gets the response, and sends it back to you. > You have no idea how many servers are behind that proxy. The servers are hidden. This is what Nginx does. This is what Load Balancers do. >> Use Cases of Proxy and Reverse Proxy << >> Forward Proxy: Bypassing Restrictions Suppose your government banned your favorite sites, and you still want to access them. - That's when you use a Forward Proxy (VPN). - It routes your traffic through another country. Suddenly, you're browsing those sites behind locked doors. >> Reverse Proxy: Protecting Your Infrastructure Suppose your website is popular, and you keep getting DDoS attacks by hackers, and your servers are melting. - This is where you use a Reverse Proxy. - It hides your servers behind Cloudflare or AWS WAF. - Attackers hit the proxy, not your infrastructure. - Add firewall rules and rate limiting at the proxy level. - Bad traffic never reaches your servers. >> But Modern Reverse Proxies Do Much More << - Traditional reverse proxies (Nginx/HAProxy) focused on load balancing. Modern reverse proxies (Envoy/Cloudflare) have evolved into Zero Trust enforcement points: - They continuously verify user identity and device health before granting access. - They provide granular, encrypted access to specific resources. - They operate as an identity-aware security mesh, not just traffic routers. - This is the shift from "hide and distribute" to "verify and enforce." To Conclude: A forward proxy hides you from the internet. A reverse proxy hides the internet from you.

  What I love about ChatGPT Work: it doesn’t stop at advice. I used it to inspect my repo, trace a Cloudflare 1102 error to a memory-heavy upload path, and turn the root cause into a concrete fix plan. It felt less like Q&A and more like shipping with a teammate.

  Turn any website into agent-ready data! Loop engineering is about designing systems that run agents autonomously. Instead of prompting your agent manually each turn, you write a loop that finds the work, hands it to the agent, checks what came back, and decides what happens next. Your job is to design the loop once and walk away. But loops that need live information from the web hit a real constraint. JS-heavy pages return empty content. Anti-bot systems return challenge pages. Login walls block access entirely. When the model gets weak context back, it still responds - just less accurately. Anakin is building the source-access layer underneath agents. URL Scraper turns any URL into clean Markdown, HTML, or structured content immediately usable by an LLM. Built for scale across 200M+ active websites globally, including a large chunk of Cloudflare and Akamai-protected pages. Authenticated sessions handle content behind login walls. Wire handles workflow-heavy sites. Login flows, navigation, form submission, report exports - all accessible through a stable API. Define the workflow once and Wire keeps it working as websites change. Key capabilities: • Clean Markdown, HTML, or structured output from 200M+ active websites • Built for difficult pages including Cloudflare and Akamai-protected sources • Authenticated sessions for content behind login walls • Wire for login flows, navigation, form submission, and export-based access • Useful for AI agents, RAG systems, finance intelligence, and vertical AI workflows I've shared the link in the replies!

  @dhh @Cloudflare Putting speedtest and DNS choice in the same panel is the detail: diagnosis and action live together. Most network UIs show status, then make users hunt elsewhere for control. Which metric actually changed your behavior after using it?

  @ODEONHelp some bizzare reason I have been cloudflare blocked on app and website any ideas or can I just never go to odeon again ?

  @idunnstudio Good catch running the audit anyway. Stripe's restricted keys are the other half of that fix, a leaked key that can only read is a bad day instead of a disaster. Mine lives only in a Cloudflare Worker so the client bundle never even sees it.

  is video streaming on @Cloudflare r2 allowed ? i see the egress bandwidth is free but not sure if there are any hidden t&c related to videos. don’t want to wake up someday with a banned account. i don’t find it anywhere on the site and there is no support email anywhere.

  @DrDavidVernon @britishlibrary Thank you for those kind words. The site was severely damaged by a server upgrade at my university, and for years I thought it was gone forever. Thankfully, repair (albeit tedious) has been possible. Now I've taken full ownership of all aspects of the site, so if it's damaged again, it will be because Cloudflare accidentally shut down the internet again (as it did a few years ago).

  @niyonx Unless you have a lot (but LOT) of traffic, the best way is to self-host + Cloudflare proxy to hide your home IP on DMZs. Hetzner nowadays is a ripoff, not competitive anymore, and Contabo is down frequently for long periods.

  @Amp @FlexaHQ @ampdotxyz The card networks' response has been total mobilization. Visa: 7 billion dollars in annualized stablecoin settlement, over 160 stablecoin linked card programs live or in development, and a June launch of Agent Score, an Agentic Registry, and a Large Transaction Model for scoring machine buyers. Mastercard: Agent Pay for Machines, live with over 30 launch supporters including Adyen, Stripe, Checkout, and Cloudflare, settling microtransactions down to fractions of a cent. ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2

  I fell down a rabbit hole last week trying to name a new side project. After striking out on cloudflare 50 times, I realized something hilarious about how tech companies actually get their names. Few cheat codes: 1) The "Look Around the Room" Pivot Every tech word is gone, so you just stare blankly and name your startup after a completely random object. (Juicebox, Fireworks, Pinecone) 2) The "Vowel Starvation Diet" Buying the letter 'e' costs an extra $50k, so you just drop it entirely. (Flickr, Tumblr) 3) The "Slap an '-ify' or '-ly' on it" Bailout When you need a domain right now and grammar is merely a suggestion. (Shopify, Spotify, Calendly) 4) The "Polite Begging" Prefix Your actual name is taken, so you just tell users what to do instead. (GetPocket, TryGhost) 5) The "Noble Philanthropist" Prefix Slapping "Open" in front to sound benevolent, when you're really just dodging domain fees. (OpenAI, OpenSea) So yeah, behind every visionary brand name is a founder who just refused to pay a domain squatter.

  @dhh @Cloudflare I did go down the dns benchmarking rabbit hole, and cloud flare definitely did win.
