Proxying traffic to Report URI with Cloudflare Workers
Scott Helme, a security researcher and founder of Report URI, discusses the challenges faced by his company as it deals with an increasing variety of websites using its service. One such challenge is addressing concerns about sharing client IP addresses and User Agent strings with Report URI. To tackle this issue, he proposes using Cloudflare Workers to receive reports on a subdomain of the user's own site and then forward them to Report URI. This solution maintains simplicity while allowing users to shield their client's IP addresses or any other information in the payload from Report URI. The worker can also be used for advanced tasks such as downsampling report volume, hiding UA strings, and more. Pricing starts at $5 per month for 10 million requests, making it an affordable solution for most websites.
