DigitalOcean + Cloudflare

Hey guys,

I have a website hosted on DigitalOcean. Previously, my domain was simply pointing there.

About six months ago, I decided to use Cloudflare. I have a Pro Plan. I set everything up quickly and smoothly, but I’m noticing some strange behavior that I can’t explain. Maybe someone can help me with this.

First issue: In the “Overview” section of my domain on Cloudflare, I see about 50 unique visitors per day. However, in reality, I have around 5,000 according to Google Analytics.

I have other domains that use Cloudflare and are hosted elsewhere, and their statistics more or less match Google Analytics.

Second issue: Some of the features I’m trying to configure behave VERY strangely. For example:

1. I tried setting up Security Rules. I selected my own country and set the Action to “Interactive Challenge”. I tried triggering this challenge multiple times using different devices, incognito browser tabs, mobile and wired internet, and proxies (from my own country). I also tested automation tools like Puppeteer. I only saw the challenge once. It feels like most of the traffic is bypassing Cloudflare.

2. I have IP Geolocation enabled, but I never see this field in the request headers. Not even once.

Any ideas what could be going on?
