Cloudflare is a proxy that provides different protections. Mainly being unlimited bandwidth for denial of service attacks. They also include a waf but it isn't as good as some stand alone ones.
If you configure it correctly, all connections to your site have to go through Cloudflare. It's a way to protect your web server from being directly contacted in case of attack. Although so many people set it up wrong
As soon as your web server goes public, its ip is recorded. Then people configure Cloudflare after its online not knowing that their real ip is still accessible.
Good databases to find original ips are crimefare and dnstrails
I have found a lot of the exchanges real ips that use Cloudflare
Ha, good. People need opsec
