Linode's LoadBalancer + Cloudflare + Sticky sessions

development

Hi,

I'm designing the infrastructure for my project and there is one issue that I can't find much information on.

I will be using Cloudflare as the reverse proxy and will send the requests to Linode's Loadbalancer which will distribute over my linodes.

I want to enable session stickiness on Linode's LB but I'm not sure it will work correctly with Cloudflare in front of it.

So this is the question: Is Linode's LB capable of detecting that the real client's IP comes from CF custom http header (See here) and enable sticky sessions properly or this combination wont work at all?

Thanks,

why not just use Cloudflare's load balancing https://www.cloudflare.com/load-balancing/ ?

Been thinking of migrating my setup to Cloudflare's load balancer/traffic manager myself https://community.centminmod.com/thread … are.11563/">https://community.centminmod.com/threads/thinking-of-moving-from-aws-route53-dns-to-cloudflare.11563/

there's a problem with cloudflare loadbalance. the affinity session (cookie) not working properly with mobile browser.

if your users require to login and store session, then this will definitely be a problem.
