Uhm.. I checked my test websites I have on CF right now.
SMF IPs are screwed and for example if I go to my profile I have CF IP related to the domain (173.245.52.115), so you are right.
But Wordpress commenters IP are correct! I tried to comment as anonymous and in WP I can see my correct IP!

Does WP have any bridge attached to it? Are you using Bad Behaviour?

Maybe WP includes the check for CloudFlare by default, I don't know. Don't really care either, to be honest. WP is not my favourite piece of software.

Because the author's an arrogant tool whose skills are more in his imagination than in reality?

(My post above was unclear. I was commenting on butchs' post, but he was himself quoting a 'tutorial' by MKNJHILL, which is what I was talking about really. Haven't seen butchs' mod because it would require me to log in.)

I'm having big problems with their module for Apache... After I installed it a lot of Zombie processes are created every hour and Apache reaches its max FCGI process count and any requests in excess of the limit is dropped. So every 9/10 hours if I don't restart Apache my websites go down. >:(

My error log gets flooded of (~ 16 every second):
Code: [Select]
[info] mod_fcgid: /cgi-bin/php5.fcgi total process count 20 >= 20, skip the spawn request errors

It's indeed something related to the module because these problems started right after I installed it.  :unsure:

I added a ticket in their system.. they said they're going to investigate on it.

I noticed that you were running Linux 3.1 x86-64. I am not saying it has any thing to do with this but 64 bit has not been tested.

Well, Cloudflare system works really really well (and hosting should be glad that users use it, for example my daily bandwidth was 2Gb, now it's reduced to 900Mb (thanks to their threats protection and upstream compression).

The problem is only with this Apache module, maybe it's badly written or has some bugs in it.
https://raw.github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-Tools/master/mod_cloudflare.c

Don't know.. I disabled it for now (and I don't have Zombie processes anymore).

Now that I'm on my VPS I managed to compile the mod_cloudflare Apache module properly. :)

Have fun with that. It may or may not be a good idea.
