page_cache iirc is used for internal filesystem guest caching.

Did Cloudflare resolve their HTTP/2 to origin bug that can cause 520 errors?
Suddenly tons of CF 520 errors
Hello everybody, since yesterday afternoon there are 520 error messages from Cloudflare in our forum. The error occurs completely randomly and everywhere. We only moved to a new server a few weeks ago and everything went perfectly. I will of course also contact my hoster. But I have already...

No idea... my origins are all running HTTP/2 without errors, so not something I know anything about first-hand. If Cloudflare has an error with it, maybe it's specific to certain web server configs?Did Cloudflare resolve their HTTP/2 to origin bug that can cause 520 errors?

I just checked my web logs to be certain and the last 20,000 entries in the request logs (as far back as I felt like doing right now), have been 100% served by the origin via HTTP/2 to Cloudflare. With zero errors.
If Cloudflare had an issue on their end with HTTP/2 to the origin on a large scale, I'd think it would be fairly catastrophic for them and most sites using Cloudflare.

Ya, if it's limited to certain servers, I'd say it's probably a server config thing, not a Cloudflare thing. But who knows... like I said, I've never seen it myself so no idea if Cloudflare "fixed" anything on their end.
I haven't seen any issue firsthand with Cloudflare getting content from the origin via whatever protocol... even pre-HTTP/2 I was serving SPDY to Cloudflare without issue.
Maybe something with a server having old crypto libs or something that were generating unexpected output or handshakes or something?

It'sNope... no clue whatpage_cacheis. Probably a third-party addon (no reference to it in XenForo's source).image_cacheis the directory that the image proxy uses.
But ya, you can move it to R2 if you want... however, it's a pretty terrible idea to store cached things in the cloud if you ask me... But do whatever you want.
image_cache, not page cache. 
(My brain's in automotive repair mode today, not "coding like it's 1996" day...)
So since it's the image proxy cache, it should work the same as having attachments in R2, I'm thinking?
I wouldn't store anything else in R2 though.

It's not something I would do... but like I said, there's nothing preventing you from doing it, so have at it.It'simage_cache, notpage cache.

To me a "cache" is something that doesn't need to persist (nothing catastrophic is going to happen if you lose the contents of the cache) and should also be very fast. Storing it in R2 makes it not super fast... request comes in, server handles it, first makes an API call to fetch the image from some remote data center where R2 data lives, then it needs to take that and pass it through to the user. So let's say it's a 10MB image... the server needs to download 10MB from R2 before it can then send that same 10MB to the user.
Again... it will work, but to me a cache should be local and as fast as possible. Like for me, I have a lot of things on my servers mapped to
/dev/shm (a RAM volume). /tmp, /var/logs/nginx (web server logs), image_cache, oembed_cache, etc... these are all things that aren't going to be catastrophic if the server reboots and loses what's in memory... it saves a lot of disk writes (especially for things like /tmp and web logs) and accessing it is extremely fast.Just depends on how your server resources are... if you are short on disk space, then ya... probably makes sense to free that up by moving it to R2.

totally agree with you, that's why I have a feature request to have R2 attachments local cached...

Probably just the standard tools like traceroute and stuff to try and determine where in the route is having problems. The bigger issue is that just like with IPv4, if it’s a switch or router out of your control that is having problems with the underlying network traffic, is well… out of your control. Debugging IPv6 network connectivity doesn’t have anything to do with XenForo or Cloudflare, so the good news is Google is going to be a good resource for anyone on the Internet trying to debug similar issues.

I've been wondering this for a while. Does Cloudflare work on sites behind an htaccess password? I want to do some testing with an XF install I've been working on, but haven't activated App for Cloudflare on it.
It will work fine, yes.
digitalpoint

It does, yes. However I've found that Cloudflare's Zero-Trust Network Access system is more convenient than HTTP AUTH. Same way the addon can lockdown access to the XF admin area, except do it for the whole domain, rather than just admin.php.
It allows you to do different things like have different users accessing it (without everyone sharing a login/password), doesn't require you to reauth all the time, allows you to bypass it if you are on certain IPs, etc. Some of that you can do with HTTP AUTH if you know how, but it's much easier with Cloudflare's Zero-Trust system.
It's what is being used to keep you out of this site: https://appforcf.com/

I do like that step, and it also stays in spirit with our license (running a second copy for development, privately).

I tried to traceroute, but it doesn't allow to traceroute to R2 buckets. Pinging works fine by the way with any data loss for over hours of pinging.

So I tried to enable IPV6 on the server level and so far so good.
In addition, how can I locate these files and delete them from the threads and/or make any action to eliminate the error?

A better place for assistance on cleaning up your site's missing attachments would be in the Troubleshooting and problems area (doesn't have anything to do with this addon).

What permissions am I missing? I read there should be 19 but I only have 16.

Looks like the
Account Request Tracer and Intel permissions. You can always see all the permissions it's needing for full functionality under XenForo admin -> Options -> Cloudflare
