- calyhre 11mo agoBut then you end up potentially exposing the origin server. This could be an opt-in option though
- koolba 11mo agoWith CloudFlare specifically probably not. IIRC, they require DNS resolution of your domain to operate so if they’re down, I don’t see how you’d change it to route directly to the underlying site. Even if you could, having two sets of TLS termination is going to be a pain as well.
