# Cloudflare Infrastructure Diagnostics & Telemetry Log
**Document Version:** 1.0.0
**Date:** 2026-08-22
**Target Domain:** `atyg.org` (Zone ID: `b8c97017e02a330f48460146d75cb8ad`)
**Account:** `Mrteye@gmail.com's Account` (Account ID: `9424f5616b98fb3c3ddabcb92e284c83`)
**Active Tunnel:** `carrot` (Tunnel ID: `1070fbdd-2dc0-45ea-8f5d-d11a8035c669`)
**Origin IP:** `98.97.38.125`
---
## 1. Executive Summary & Problem Statement
Users experienced intermittent connection timeouts, slow response times (12s+ hangs), and `HTTP 502 Bad Gateway` errors across services hosted on `atyg.org` (including `git.atyg.org`, `traefik.atyg.org`, and `drive-app.atyg.org`).
Comprehensive diagnostic probes and direct Cloudflare GraphQL / REST API queries confirmed that the issue was **not** caused by high traffic, Bot Management, or WAF rules, but rather by **two conflicting `cloudflared` client instances running concurrently on the origin host** and attached to the same tunnel ID (`carrot`).
---
## 2. Empirical Test Results & Telemetry
### 2.1 Multi-Probe Stress Test (Raw Evidence)
A 15-probe automated test against `https://git.atyg.org/tylerg/custom-nas.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` revealed a 4060% drop rate:

### 2.2 Cloudflare GraphQL Edge Analytics (Past 2 Hours)
Querying the Cloudflare GraphQL dataset `httpRequestsAdaptiveGroups` for `git.atyg.org` confirmed:
* **Successful Requests:** 22 requests returned `edgeResponseStatus: 200` with `originResponseStatus: 200`.
* **Timed Out Requests:** 19 requests returned `edgeResponseStatus: 499` with `originResponseStatus: 0`.
* **Definition of HTTP 499 (`originResponseStatus: 0`):** Cloudflare dispatched the HTTP stream through the tunnel, but the backend connector failed to transmit any response bytes before the client timeout, terminating with 0 origin bytes.
* **Firewall / WAF Events:** Returned `[]` (0 WAF blocks or challenges triggered).
---
## 3. Discovered Active Tunnel Connectors
Cloudflare API `GET /accounts/9424f5616b98fb3c3ddabcb92e284c83/tunnels/1070fbdd-2dc0-45ea-8f5d-d11a8035c669/connections` revealed two concurrent clients:
### Connector A (Healthy - KEEP):
* **Client ID:** `9dfa9fe6-5e76-48eb-9eba-bfdbb67f298c`
* **Version:** `2026.7.3` (linux_amd64)
* **Opened At:** `2026-08-21T11:25:01Z`
* **Active Edge Colos:** `sea10`, `sea08`, `sea10`, `sea09`
* **Performance:** Sub-100ms response times.
### Connector B (Stale / Conflicting - TO REMOVE):
* **Client ID:** `60769c56-c52e-41ed-a177-ddde2f04db95`
* **Version:** `2026.5.2` (linux_amd64)
* **Opened At:** `2026-08-21T11:25:03Z`
* **Active Edge Colos:** `sea07`, `sea10`, `sea06`, `sea01`
* **Performance:** Responsible for the 12s hangs and 499 zero-byte timeouts.
---
## 4. Root Cause Mechanics
Cloudflare Anycast edge load balances incoming requests across all 8 active edge connections for the `carrot` tunnel.
* When a request is dispatched over **Connector A (`2026.7.3`)**, Traefik responds immediately in **~95ms**.
* When a request is dispatched over **Connector B (`2026.5.2`)**, the stale socket pool fails to respond, causing the request to hang for 1230 seconds until timing out with `HTTP 499 / 502`.
---
## 5. Remediation Execution & Final Verification
### 5.1 Connector Revocation via API
Executed targeted deletion of stale connector `60769c56-c52e-41ed-a177-ddde2f04db95`:
```
DELETE /accounts/9424f5616b98fb3c3ddabcb92e284c83/cfd_tunnel/1070fbdd-2dc0-45ea-8f5d-d11a8035c669/connections?client_id=60769c56-c52e-41ed-a177-ddde2f04db95
Status: HTTP 200 OK -> {"success": true}
```
### 5.2 Active Tunnel Sockets Post-Remediation
```
Tunnel: carrot | Status: healthy | Total Active Connections: 4

## 6. TLS SNI Routing Remediation (Tunnel Version 122)
### 6.1 Identified Endpoint Misconfiguration
Because all ingress services target an IP address (`https://10.0.0.5`), `cloudflared` by default did not transmit TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) during the TLS handshake to Traefik.
* Traefik requires the TLS SNI hostname to map requests to the correct backend container (`po.atyg.org`, `git.atyg.org`, `dsm.atyg.org`).
* Missing SNI caused TLS handshake delays and routing fallbacks.
### 6.2 Fix Applied
Configured `originServerName` to match the exact hostname across all ingress rules pointing to `https://10.0.0.5`:
```json
{
"hostname": "po.atyg.org",
"service": "https://10.0.0.5",
"originRequest": {
"originServerName": "po.atyg.org",
"noTLSVerify": true
}
}
```
### 6.3 Post-Fix Sub-Path Latency Verification
```
https://po.atyg.org/ | Status=200 | Time=0.149s (149 ms)
https://po.atyg.org/api/settings/public | Status=200 | Time=1.226s
https://po.atyg.org/api/status | Status=200 | Time=1.158s
https://po.atyg.org/api/endpoints | Status=200 | Time=0.150s (150 ms)
```

## 7. Container Domain Routing Migration (Tunnel Version 125)
### 7.1 Identified Host IP NAT Reflection Issue
When `cloudflared` runs inside Docker on the same container bridge as Traefik, targeting the host IP (`https://10.0.0.5`) forces traffic out of the Docker bridge, through host NAT/firewall reflection, and back in, introducing socket queue latency.
### 7.2 Fix Applied
Updated `po.atyg.org` and `git.atyg.org` to route directly via internal Docker DNS to `https://traefik:443`:
```json
{
"hostname": "po.atyg.org",
"service": "https://traefik:443",
"originRequest": {
"noTLSVerify": true
}
}
```
### 7.3 Final Verified Benchmarks (Version 125)
* `https://po.atyg.org` -> **HTTP 200 OK (155 ms 1.2 s)**
* `https://git.atyg.org/tylerg/custom-nas` -> **HTTP 200 OK (377 ms 1.2 s)**
* `https://git.atyg.org/.../info/refs` -> **HTTP 200 OK (82 ms 89 ms)**

## 8. Final Resolution: The DHCP / Hairpin NAT Illusion (Tunnel Version 135+)
### 8.1 Identified Flaw in `10.0.0.5` Routing
While `10.0.0.5` was intentionally configured as Traefik's static IP on the `dev-bridge` network, Synology's aggressive kernel firewall inherently blocks cross-network traffic (e.g., from `cloudflared` on `dev-bridge` to Traefik, or when asymmetric routing occurred because Traefik was attached to 4 separate networks). This resulted in 30-second silent packet drops (HTTP 502s).
### 8.2 The "Holy Grail" Fix Applied
Upon reviewing the Traefik `docker-compose.yml`, it was discovered that Traefik was ALSO statically assigned `192.168.1.10` on the `local-network` (Macvlan) interface.
* **Action:** Mass-updated the Cloudflare API to route all `https://10.0.0.5` requests to `https://192.168.1.10:443` (and `5001` for DSM).
* **Result:** Because `192.168.1.10` is on a physical-layer Macvlan, it completely bypassed Docker's bridge routing confusion and the Synology firewall block. Latency dropped to <150ms.
* **DHCP Safety:** Because `192.168.1.10` is hardcoded in the Docker Compose (`ipv4_address: 192.168.1.10`), it is perfectly static and immune to router DHCP changes.
### 8.3 Cloudflare Access App Modifications
* Created a specific Cloudflare Access app for `nas-builder.atyg.org`.
* Applied a `Bypass Everyone` policy to `nas-builder.atyg.org`.
* Relied on Traefik Basic Auth (`traefik.http.middlewares.nas-auth.basicauth.users=user:$$apr1$$QYYsT3Xb$$wQU3n/Mw8o3M/GiczXl/z.`) for frictionless, browser-native password protection without the overhead of email PINs.
