### Can Cloudflare be used with Umbraco Cloud?
956956

Yes. Since Umbraco Cloud already uses Cloudflare for DNS, hostnames must be enrolled as **DNS Only** with a CNAME pointing to `dns.umbraco.io`. Once the hostname appears as **Protected** in the **Project** > **Hostname** section, **Proxying** can be enabled in Cloudflare if specific features like Page Rules are required.

Yes. Hostnames managed in a customer's Cloudflare (CF) zone can be enrolled as **DNS Only** or via [the hostname pre-validation flow](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/go-live/manage-hostnames/hostname-pre-validation) in the [orange-to-orange configuration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/saas-customers/how-it-works/).

For optimal performance, keeping the DNS entry set to **DNS Only** in Cloudflare is recommended. This allows Umbraco Cloud to manage automatic Transport Layer Security (TLS)/HTTPS certificates for hostnames. Before implementing a custom Cloudflare setup, consult the support team via chat or [email](mailto:[email protected]).

- [Orange-to-orange configuration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/saas-customers/how-it-works/) is the recommended approach for maximum control, as you get to keep full control of your Edge configuration. In an orange-to-orange configuration, any Umbraco Cloud Cloudflare provided features, such as Managed Challenge, Web Application Firewall (WAF), can be stacked or disabled and managed manually in the customer zone.
960+
- The **DNS Only** configuration is the recommended approach for minimum custom Cloudflare maintenance. In the **DNS Only** configuration, the customers' Cloudflare zone won't apply DDoS protection or Web Application Firewall, and the Umbraco Cloud Cloudflare features will continue working.

It is worth mentioning that Umbraco Cloud websites already provide many baseline Cloudflare features such as DDoS or Web Application Firewall by default.
