I adopted the script to OpenWrt https://gist.github.com/stokito/4dcf7d5610e563f3693ce9ff0ce8719d

  1. It uses wget which is always installed in OpenWrt instead of curl
  2. It uses HTTP to get the list of IPs because to wget via https we need to install ca-certs to OpenWrt. This makes this script vulnerable to MiTM attacks but that's ok if you just need to be protected from hackers from internet.

Congratulations on the solution, I already used the for to block IPs, now the curl. Thanks for sharing.

In moments of attack I did not know that Cloudflare was releasing traffic to the server. I would like to appreciate reports.

In their latest post on attacks, they comment on maintaining site protection on free accounts, even large-scale ones: https://blog.cloudflare.com/mitigating-a-754-million-pps-ddos-attack-automatically/

How often should this script refresh?

stokito commented Mar 5, 2021

Here https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ is said that the list was updated only once in Oct 1, 2020.
But headers says different:

GET https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v4
date: Fri, 05 Mar 2021 05:00:33 GMT
last-modified: Thu, 04 Mar 2021 22:45:21 GMT
cache-control: public, max-age=31536000
expires: Sat, 05 Mar 2022 05:00:33 GMT

So the file was updated yesterday and it will expire in a year (31536000 seconds).
I guess it's better to refresh it more often like once in three months and you can use wget -N option to minimize load

FYI: recently the list of IPs was changed:
Please make the following changes to your allow list by May 7, 2021. This change is safe to make today.

Remove:
104.16.0.0/12

Add:
104.16.0.0/13
104.24.0.0/14

Hi, seems the DROP rules not work for me on Centos 6, after i add them, website is not loading anymore.

looks good to me

how could I allow a subdomain to be accessed without cloudflare?

example: main domain can only be accessed through cloudflare (typically the www host)
a sub domain wouldn't suffer from that restriction.

Hi,
I am trying to block all the incoming traffic towards my Pi, which is exposed to my static public IP on port 80 and 443, and my public IP configured in CloudFlare proxy. I have docker installed, and multiple container running on it. I am trying to set rules in iptables which will DROP all the traffic on port 80 and 443 if it is not originated from CloudFalre and my local LAN/VPN, I have applied the rules by downloading all the IPv4 from CloudFlare.

Unfortunately it is not dropping the direct external traffic on port 443 and 80, if I am trying to access it from AWS EC2.I have also saved the iptables permanently, but it is same.

I am not very much comfortable with iptables, but I would like to use this. Please help me fixing this.

This is the output of my Pi from sudo iptables -L
