Cloudflare API v4 enable users to update DNS records programmatically, which made Dynamic DNS (DDNS) implementation possible. I recently wrote a CLI tool called cf-ddns-cli in Node.js to update DNS A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) records with your current IP address, and it's available in Windows, Mac and Linux.

Cloudflare CDN works just like a reverse proxy, it sits in front of your web servers and forwards client requests to them. So the requests reached your server actually came from Cloudflare. To restore the original client's IP address, we'll be using ngx_http_realip_module in Nginx to retrieve them from headers.
