What does the "Cloudflare proxy" checkbox in settings do?
Q
There's a "Cloudflare proxy" checkbox in settings. What does enabling it actually change?
A
It changes how the script detects a visitor's real IP address: instead of reading the raw connection IP (which would be Cloudflare's IP when your site is proxied through them), it reads the visitor's real IP from Cloudflare's forwarding headers. Enable it if your site sits behind Cloudflare's proxy (orange cloud) - leave it off otherwise, since it would read the wrong IP.
