cloudReflare

Combining the power of the ipData and CloudFlare APIs, cloudReflare automatically checks for IPv4 address changes and updates cloudFlare IPv4 A Name records accordingly. Works across multiple CloudFlare accounts, zones and records simultaneously.

Available for Windows, Linux and browser.


No installation

Simply download and unzip. Open either the LINUX or the WINDOWS (depending on your operating system) directory and run cloudReflare(.exe). For developers or MAC users, the source code is also provided so you can run it in your own server stack environment.


Server/Browser Use

A server with access to one directory above the public folder is required to install and use this script. Upload the contents of httpd.www to your public folder, upload httpd.private to one directory above your public directory. Your public directory may be named something other than httpd.www. It may, for instance, be called public or your username. If this is the case you must open httpd.private/system/bootstrap.php and change all instances of httpd.www to the name of your public directory. Do the same for httpd.private to whatever your private directory is called.


How to use

I've tried to make the UI as user friendly as possible

Language select

language_select

cloudReflare comes with 7 built-in languages. In the top left corner we have the language selection. A simple click and select will change the language of the app and remember the choice, so you only need to set it once.

Does exactly what it says ... clicking this will delete the current record being viewed.

Record Select

Selects a record to view, edit or delete


Current IPv4 Address

This field is optional. You can insert your current IPv4 address here or you can leave it blank and allow the app to find it for you.


Refresh rate

Set the number of minutes between checks. The default is 10 minutes, the minimum requirement is 1 minute.


Save settings

All the fields, apart from the Current IPv4 address field, must be filled in in order for you to save the settings and begin monitoring. Once you're sure they're correct, click Save settings


Begin monitoring

Click this to start the monitor. The software will now check for local IPv4 address changes. If a change is detected, the new IPv4 address will be stored and the CloudFlare records will be changed. This software will only change the IPv4 address in the record, all other fields will remain in their current state. If there is no change in your IPv4 address, no other actions will be taken. These actions will repeat every x minutes, depending on how you've set the timer. You can leave the app minimised and running in the background. On Windows, the app will minimise to the tray and will ensure your IPv4 address is up to date while you work.

If any of the fields have been set incorrectly, the monitor will display a warning.
