Wonder what could be best way to configure the Cloudflare as trusted proxy in laravel.

  1. Hardcode all Cloudflare’s ip address is probably one of the easiest way.
  2. Using a package that retrieves Cloudflare’s IP blocks, and stores them in cache.

Hello Kiran,

First of all, welcome to Cleavr Forum.

I think the best option here would be to go with a package so that you don’t have to worry about updating the IPs when they’re changed.

Configuring Cloudflare as a trusted proxy in your Laravel application is an important step to enhance security and optimize performance. While hardcoding all of Cloudflare’s IP addresses is one way to go, it’s not the most efficient method, especially considering that Cloudflare’s IP ranges can change.
In addition to configuring Cloudflare, consider enhancing your application’s security and performance by using and buy premium proxies. Such proxies offer several advantages, including improved anonymity, better reliability, and enhanced performance.
