I have added a page rule in Cloudflare which should by pass the cache for the folder

Code:

*.$subdomain.$domain.com/$folder/*

but this doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

I don't know much about Cloudflare but usually things like this allow the real IP of the client to be added to the header of the request. Perhaps check the header value.

I've only had a very brief exposure to the 'fun' of Cloudflare affecting access to a web app I was part of the development team for, and if I remember right Cloudflare uses it's own IP range for load balancing to prevent denial of service, so any restriction by IP address may need updating to cater for Cloudflare's IPs.
