Use case: hide origin IP on a reverse-proxy shield
Some teams are not shopping for exotic features. They want a repeatable DMCA-ignore reverse-proxy path: Cloudflare and nginx in front of the origin, no leaked real IP, whether they run Offshore Hosting themselves or use Fully Managed shield capacity.
What you configure once
Connect your Cloudflare account in the panel.
Add domains so public DNS points at the shield—not the origin.
Restrict the origin so only the shield can reach it.
What you get back
Consistent reverse-proxy setup per domain instead of one-off shell history.
A clear place to add and remove hostnames so leftovers are less likely.
Team access patterns (admin vs basic users) without handing everyone raw infrastructure secrets.
