Cloudflare Proxy Support

How Hypervisor Preserves Real Visitor IPs​

Hypervisor automatically handles proxying your user's real ip by employing the following mechanisms:

  1. Identifying Cloudflare's network ranges
  2. Configuring your web server to extract the original visitor IP
  3. Providing the true client IP to your applications

Automatic IP Updates​

We maintain your Cloudflare IP configuration automatically through:

✅ Daily updates - Management Server refreshes Cloudflare's IP ranges every 24 hours
✅ Instant propagation - Changes take effect immediately
✅ Full IPv4/IPv6 support - All Cloudflare networks are included

Manual Control​

While automatic updates are sufficient for most users, you can manually refresh Cloudflare's IPs at any time:

hvcli app:update-cloudflare

When to Run Manually:​

  • After changing Cloudflare proxy settings
  • If you suspect IP changes aren't propagating
  • When troubleshooting IP-related issues

Expected output:

✓ Cloudflare IP configuration up to date
IPv4 ranges: 24
IPv6 ranges: 12

Troubleshooting​

If you experience IP detection issues:

  1. First run the update command:

    hvcli app:update-cloudflare

  2. Verify your web server configuration includes:

    set_real_ip_from 192.168.0.1/20;
    real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;

  3. Check Cloudflare's dashboard to ensure proxy is enabled (orange cloud icon)
