Jira & Cloudflare

[nealr]

Is there a best practices guide for employing Jira products, protecting them with Cloudflare?

We have a domain protected with Cloudflare CDN, we use Cloudflare Access to protect some hosts, and when trying to turn up Service Desk we are seeing the same sorts of errors others have reported here - some pages work, some require a refresh to work, and some never will.

We  use server, cloud is not an option. We have an office firewall and an nginx reverse proxy behind that.

I found some related threads:

But these are for high volume sites. We're just struggling to get it installed right now.

I found that Cloudflare uses Atlassian internally and they have made special provisions for it.
