Connected via ""CDN SERVER"

Hi Guys

Just wanted to ask, how does linkz have that Cloudflare CDN info in the footer.

CloudFlare sends out the users IP as "REMOTE_ADDR" to the webserver.

why are you hatin' on meh? :hurr:jealous?

Actually, you can enable GeoIP in your Cloudflare dashboard & it will give everyone a new header on each of their requests, giving their connection origin.

The one here isn't what you see, the only way to get which Cloudflare DC you're connected through, is by looking at the CF_RAY and the last 3 letters. (LHR is London)

Instead Linkz uses a PHP switch to give each country code that the new header outputs, and turn it into a location. So, GB would turn into London, UK.

So it doesn't tell you which Cloudflare location you're routing through, it just guesses based on your real location but it's accurate most times unless they're doing maintenance and re-route you.

It's not hard, you just need basic knowledge with Cloudflare, and PHP.

Exactly this.
And to the other people, stop installing this useless cloudflare plugin.
