Any Cloudflare experts?

Using Cloudflare CDN on one of my websites, everything seems to be working fine, however I also have some .htaccess rules which limits the accessibility of a subfolder based on IP address, as everything goes through Cloudflare this no longer works, disable HTTP and DNS proxy and it's working again.

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

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

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

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.

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.
