@ -372,22 +372,27 @@ The Nginx Ultimate Bot Blocker is now WORKING and PROTECTING your web sites !!!
### NOTE to Cloudflare Users !!!
If you are a Cloudflare user who is using the Cloudflare CDN / Cacheing System you will see the following behavior when testing.
If you are a Cloudflare user who is using the Cloudflare CDN / Caching System you should always disable the Cloudflare CDN (set gray Cloud)
The First test of a Bad User Agent will give you:
While testing you will get the correct response codes results as below:
- curl: (52) Empty reply from server
- curl: (56) TCP connection reset by peer
The Second test will give you:
- curl: 520 Origin Error
- curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)
This is by design. The CDN is doing its work, meaning, the first response from your server said to the bot, "go away" by issuing it `444` or `443` responses.
Cloudflare cache's that response and hence the second test gets served a `520 Origin Error` origin error message.
Cloudflare cache's that response and hence the second time you test you will get served a `520 Origin Error` origin error message.
While testing the blocker, disable the CDN / cacheing system and once you are happy with your tests, re-enable the CDN/Cache on your live environment as you do want the bots to get that response from Cloudflare.
Most other CDN systems will probably show the same behavior so always disable a CDN during testing to rule out anything that will interfere with your testing. Always make sure to re-enable the CDN when done testing !!
Once you Enable Cloudflare CDN, test again.
While testing, you get
- curl: 520 Origin Error
Means the CDN is working and gives Error.
