A couple other notes: * The IP address 2a06:98c0:3600::103, mentioned in the article as appearing in the CF-Connecting-IP header, is a special IP address that is used for all cross-zone requests that come from Workers. This is not the actual address of any Cloudflare machine. Workers fundamentally don't have distinct IP addresses. Instead, the CF-Worker header needs to be used to identify which worker sent the request. We intentionally do not identify the original client's IP here because the Worker itself could be working against the client, and could have maliciously modified their request to be something entirely different. Hence, the request can't be considered to have come from the original client. * Any cloud service that lets you make HTTP requests can, obviously, be used to set up a proxy that hides your IP address. Workers is actually less useful for this compared to many other cloud hosts since we tag all outgoing HTTP requests from a Worker with the sender's domain name (in the CF-Worker header), which makes it relatively easier to track, report, and block abuse.
