Feature Request - Customer’s Own Cloudflare Proxy

I couldn’t think of a good title for this one, so a description is best.

Currently IC Cloud must be routed through IC’s own Cloudflare proxy. Those of us with Cloudflare account have to use DNS only mode, pointing our domain to IC Cloud servers.

Ideally we should be able to use our own Cloudflare account as the proxy. Perhaps IC could mandate specific settings.

Why?

Today Cloudflare announced its monetization gateway, enabling users to charge for nearly any use of one’s data. I don’t believe this works for IC Cloud customers because we have no control of the Cloudflare proxy used by IC.

From the article:

“For 30 years, the web has run on a simple economic bargain: trading content for human attention. That attention has been monetized through advertising, subscriptions, and e-commerce. This bargain funded the Internet as we know it. 

But as agents become the dominant Internet users, the model is breaking. An agent does not look at ads or need to maintain a monthly subscription to all the tools it wants to access. It reads a page or consumes a data feed once, takes what it needs, and moves on. Across the web, AI crawlers already request content anywhere from a hundred to tens of thousands of times for every visitor they send back. 

This reality demands a new model: usage-based pricing for everything.”
