Nginx, Apache and cloudflare questions.

[RolandG]

I've recently setup all my sites on cloudflare. I got Nginx and Apache + Apache cloudflare module installed.

What would be the most resource-friendly configuration? (I am on Ubuntu 10.04 x64)

1. Apache + Apache cloudflare module (If so do I need to configure anything on mod_cloudflare?)
2. Nginx + Apache (If so, how to remove mod_cloudflare properly?)
3. Nginx + Apache + Apache cloudflare module (If so do I need to configure anything on mod_cloudflare?)

Thank you for all answers.

Hi RolandG,

Since CloudFlare is like CDN itself, then you don't need in additional reverse proxy. So variant 1 will be more relevant in your case.

Yes, you will need to setup and configure CloudFlare APS plugin:
