run into "You actually has to pay for the Enterprise edition" a couple of times for what I considered trivial things.

recently trying to ban ip blocks from some bad actors, found I can't get their actual ip in my raw access logs. The really bad people just show up as cloudflare ips in the logs.

So I find a cpanel plugin that is to help, but it was once promoted by cloudflare and no longer supported. There is now some command line thing that needs install and some nano/vim to add cloudlfare things into it.. after a few rounds of trying to piece this together I found it much faster/simpler to disable cloudflare.

'CF-Connecting-IP' request header provides the client (visitor) IP address (connecting to Cloudflare) to the origin web server[1]. Works in the free version.

Besides Cloudflare panel (firewall) also shows IP addresses, And the bad faith actors can be blocked through that via rules. This works in the free version too.
