Reset my transformation rules or clear any stuck configuration
Issue Summary & Troubleshooting Steps
Root cause: I need to retrieve my real public IP address to filter access to my admin panel in security rules. However, Cloudflare is masking the real client IP, preventing me from implementing these restrictions effectively.
What was attempted?
Nginx Configuration Updates:
Configured real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
Added Cloudflare’s official set_real_ip_from IP ranges
Verified X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and CF-Connecting-IP values
Cloudflare Tests & Adjustments:
Checked Managed Transform Rules
Disabled “Remove visitor IP headers”
Purged Cloudflare’s cache
Attempted to force CF-Connecting-IP with a new Request Header Transform Rule
Current Blocking Issue:
I attempted to create a rule to ensure CF-Connecting-IP is preserved.
The rule got stuck in an intermediate state:
It appears active on the server side but is not visible in the UI for management or deletion.
When trying to recreate the same rule, Cloudflare UI gets stuck indefinitely with the "..." on the button.
Additional Impact:
Due to multiple tests, Cloudflare likely flagged my activity as suspicious, potentially leading to a temporary ban or restricted access.
Request: Can you reset my transformation rules or clear any stuck configurations preventing me from managing CF-Connecting-IP properly?
