A script to generate a config to allow or additionally allow cloudflare addresses for a specific domain

generate-nginx-cloudflare-allow.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -e

cf_ips() {
  echo "# https://www.cloudflare.com/ips"

  for type in v4 v6; do
    echo "# IP$type"
    curl -sL "https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-$type/" | sed "s|^|allow |g" | sed "s|\$|;|g"
    echo
  done

  echo "# Generated at $(LC_ALL=C date)"
}

cf_ips > allow-cloudflare.conf
(cf_ips && echo "deny all; # deny all remaining ips") > allow-cloudflare-only.conf

Thank you @poldim. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you populate $cloudflare_ip? would you be able to share a snippet?

Take a look at this: ergin/nginx-cloudflare-real-ip#3
