  1. Who do you proxy to us through?

Cloudflare

  1. What goals do you have that proxying to Netlify helps you accomplish?
  • Only one place to manage my DNS (I have only one site on netlify and others elsewhere)
  • Monitoring (metrics on usage, bandwidth, security, browsers timing, etc.) which is not fully available on Netlify and not available in the free tier
  • Reducing used bandwidth to stay on the Netlify free tier (cache usage > 60%)
  • DNSSEC is not supported yet on Netlify DNSSEC on Netlify - #5 by fool
  • I use Cloudflare Workers. I don’t know if you support similar features and I don’t think I want to spend time migrating the code + CI.
  1. Are you accomplishing what you set out to with this configuration?

Yep, it works. I had to use a A entry in the DNS. Using a CNAME didn’t work for the apex domain.

  1. Did you have to configure anything at your other CDN provider in order for proxying to Netlify to work for you?

The TLS certificate must be generated and set manually. Netlify could use Let’s Encrypt in this case to generate the certificate.
