Cloudflare Zaraz - Tool Triggering based on Cookie Consent

ShadowCryptic published on 2022-04-12 included in Cloudflare

I’ve previous been using Google Tag Manager (GTM) for additional content; Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Facebook Pixel, etc.. on another website. All additional content is, of course, controlled by cookie consent (in my case, using OneTrust) and set / agreed to by the user when they visit the site. The following notes detail the initial stages of moving the work of the GTM ‘container’ over to the Cloudflare’s Zaraz service, which works in a similar way to GTM but provides site speed and security benefits as the work happens in the cloud rather than on the user’s / client device.

Cloudflare Zaraz - Using the HTTP Request Tool for Trigger setup / debug

ShadowCryptic published on 2022-04-02 included in Cloudflare

Aside from its regular use-case, the HTTP Request tool can be used to verify combinations of “Firing Triggers” and “Blocking Triggers” and provide confidence that the triggers are doing what we expect. The following instructions detail a simple setup to allow HTTP requests to be received from the Cloudflare HTTP Request Tool and then trigger it so we can see it do its thing. Note Alternative Options For Handling HTTP Requests (below) are of course possible, but the described solution in steps 1 and 2 is my favourite.

Cloudflare Zero Trust - Private Networks via WARP

ShadowCryptic published on 2022-03-11 included in Cloudflare

I’ve finally got round to setting up all my machines to use Cloudflare “Zero Trust” (https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/). It’s excellent! Apart from those machines now being protected from all external network access, I now have Cloudflare Access on everything and can connect via ssh (and setup a tunnel for other things like Remote Desktop). All built on WireGuard technology too, yay!. Connections appear smoother and snappier than before. The service is free for up-to 50 users in an “organisation” too. 😎

I’ve been adding notes in a system of markdown notes for some time now. Apparently I’ve been practising PKM.

WebAssembly (Wasm)

Wasm is binary code that is fast (runs just slightly slower than native speed - no interpretation necessary) and secure (so, much better than JavaScript)
