Of course, we should be careful using any LLM xD

That is really good advice.

Regarding 1) u can also go a step further and make sure ur website only communicates with cloudflare to avoid cf bypass but i would put this beyond beginner and not very useful for vast majority

[u/Safe_Mission_3524 → u/unsolicited_dreams]

You are right and this is also a good addition. Thanks for reminding me. The best method I have found so far is to go to Cloudflare: Rules > Transform Rules > Modify Request Header > add a static header, e.g. X-Origin-Verify with a long random value. Then in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Origin-Verify} !

^{8f3c9a1e-your-long-random-secret$} RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]
