Worker Fail Open Question
Had a small question about how "Fail Open" for worker routes works. It states that when it reachs request limit, additional requests will bypass to the origin, but what is the "origin." In particular, if the origin is proxied prior to the worker route, am I safe in the sense that the result with still be proxied via cloudflare? Just wanted to make sure
