In CloudFlare how do I stop it from blocking my tumblr blog?
I'm using cloudflare for my website blog.
I feed to my website blog articles from tumblr over https.
my cloudflare is https.
is there a setting in cloudflare for allowing my tumblr blog? if so can you provide step my step instructions, as I'm new to cloudflare.
I've also messaged cloudflare and they wont reply to this issue and I've messaged them twice recently.
According to this Cloudflare support article, you can use Tumblr with Cloudflare if you setup a custom domain, the catch is that you can't use SSL.
Comments in this more recent discussion seem to confirm this, that you can only use Tumblr and Cloudflare without SSL.
It is possible to use Cloudflare to manage the DNS for your domain and point that domain to Cloudflare.
That said; unfortunately Tumblr have indicated they don't support Cloudflare proxying web traffic, their for your DNS records will need to be grey-clouded (meaning no HTTPS, etc).
This is really something in Tumblr's bands, so you may wish to reach out to them.

sorry about my bad english.
I have a website, and I provide traffic through my facebook pages. AdSense first approves traffic from facebook, then sees it as invalid traffic and closes the account.
But there are so many websites that make a profit like this. I think these kinds of pages can somehow show traffic coming from traffic disaster as an organic search. is there any way we can do this? what way to keep google from closing my account? i can write sample websites if you want. thank you in advance. how do i show incoming traffic as an organic search?
I've recently enabled hotlink protection on MaxCDN, using what is known as Referer Access Control whitelisting.
I've enabled my own domains and my CDN domain, and it's working very nicely, however, when I try to share an image on social media, the og:image is not being picked up correctly.
Using the Facebook Debugger, I can see that an error is being thrown on the og:image
"Provided og:image URL, https://cdn.collectiveray.com/images/webdesign/web_design_blogs.jpg could not be processed as an image because it has an invalid content type."
I believe the problem is that the Facebook crawler is not in the whitelist. I've allow facebook.com, *.facebook.com, fbcdn.com, *.fbcdn.com, fbcdn.net, *.fbcdn.net, yet I am still unable to resolve the above error.
Would anybody know which are the exact domains to whitelist to allow social networks, both Facebook and others, to be able to access the images directly via their CDN URL?
TIA

I don’t think the Facebook scraper sends any referrer.
But you can identify it based on the User-Agent it sends, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler

We are running some ads through Facebook's Ads Manager.
We get requests on our server from Facebook IP addresses that don't show up as clicks in the Ad Manager.
We were wondering if this is due to Facebook rerouting traffic through their servers or if Facebook uses some kind of crawler to test the pages linked to in ads?
For our internal stats, we want to be counting real visits only.
Yes facebook does use crawlers to fetch the content from the page. As well alternatively, take a keen look at the URL parameters that get embedded when a real click is done. You can test the same by noting down your IP Address, clicking on the link, then in your logs, inspect the request for 2 things:
URL Parameters
Referer Header
Using the combination of the above 2, you can monitor the actual clicks and facebook crawler requests. As well User-Agent is another good indication.
If you want to filter based on IP Addresses, you can find all the Facebook IP Addresses from the Github repo which I have created and gets updated daily !
Link: Facebook IP Addresses
Do let me know in case of any further queries !
I'm not getting the exact way to claim the URL in Facebook Instant Article. Site is using https and there is not option to change http to https. Also shown an error.
Let me know where I'm wrong. Or any suggestion for me.
Try to enter the site without the protocol https or http just www.domainname.com
But I think the mistake is in the other place..
Just Bring More Than 20000-30000 traffic in 24 hours through Facebook groups or bring paid traffic to your site then you gonna get approve.
As far as I know, the minimum readership is 10000-15000 traffic
I am building a site, in which I denied hotlinking of images. But after I added the facebooks "like" link to my pages, I realized that I want to allow hotlinking for facebook. So, if a user likes a page on my site, facebook should be able to show a related thumbnail of the page in the profile of the user. So, I added an exclusion rule in IIS like
if {HTTP_REFERER} matches pattern ^(https?://)?(\w+.)facebook.(com|net)(/.)*$ , allow.
Alas, it didn't work for me.
After that I googled for an answer. A forum post suggested to use "tfbnw" instead of facebook, so I added that exclusion, too:
^(https?://)?(\w+.)*tfbnw.(com|net)(/.*)*$
But as you might expect, still no chance.
So, I don't know which URL facebook uses to request images when a user uses the like button. I would appreciate any help to uncover this mystery, so that I can allow that URL on my site.
Note: If I disable hotlinking protection, everything works fine. So we know that my problem is just the hotlinking protection.
Can you try whitelisting with IP address? All of FB's crawlers should come from one of the IP addresses returned by
whois -h whois.radb.net '!gAS32934'
Try allowing the domain fbcdn.net:
^(https?://)?(\w+.)fbcdn.(com|net)(/.)*$
This is facebook's content delivery network.
