Domains Cloudflare Current state of Cloudflare? How many of you are still using it?

I did pause a few seconds when I wrote that since it may be read the wrong way.
Let me rephrase it. I saw some people reports issues with connection, website access on XF forum and the issue was resolved when they turn off some setting on CF.
Maybe it's no longer an issue anymore but a few years ago when it just came out and I considered it, that was the reason that I stay away from it.

 

Most of the issues the people report on the XF forum relating to cloudflare are because people try to enable all the Auto Minify options and Rocket Loader.

I've set up a site with cPanel / Litespeed and Cloudflare Business Plan with Railgun, and it absolutely flies, with no issues at all.

 

I use the free plan on all my websites. Didn't have any problem.
Maybe one day I will turn it off just to see what is the performance gain from enabling it.

 

@Matt how did you setup the Railgun rpm? On CentminMod installs, it won't install directly due to the memcache dependency. Was that not an issue with CPanel?

On our CentminMod install I had to hack the rpm so that it just installed railgun and ignored dependencies. Would love a cleaner workaround.

 

Memcached was also installed via yum remi repo, so it ran the RPM install without issues. This was back in 2016 though, so not sure if anything has changed since?

Code:

root@hv [~]# rpm -qa | grep memcached
memcached-1.4.32-1.el6.remi.x86_64
root@hv [~]#

Code:

root@hv [~]# /etc/init.d/railgun start
Starting railgun:                                          [  OK  ]
Railgun successfully backgrounded, ensuring proper startup...
                                                          [  OK  ]
root@hv [~]#

root@hv [/var/log]# netstat -plnt | grep 2408

It did not. I can't tell you why (lack of memory since then) but I had to take extra steps. I am about to have to do it again, so I will report back.
