Question Xtreamcodes - Distribute LB live channels through CDN/Proxy/Caching server.

[hadyhady007]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if is it possible to configure a CDN or a custom Proxy/caching server to send the content from the live channels of a LB server for a better distribution among all the clients?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, it is possible...
There are several options on the market.
Most with transfer limit and with additional values according to delivered traffic exceeded ...
Although controversial, it is possible to use Cloudflare.

Hi,

I appreciate the quick response, do you mind explaining how this works? Do you configure the provider with your LB IP and then use the provider IP as the new LB IP? How does this work actually?

Also if you can share a service you would recommend for this scenario.

Thanks again!

Cloudflare, Fastly, KeyCDN, StackPath, Akamai, Amazon CloudFront, Microsoft Azure CDN, CDN77, Leaseweb and others...

Some have restrictions on streaming, other services for streaming ... etc
Basically you configure the IP / domain of your LB in the service ... with proxy or not and DNS

I contacted CloudFlare about this and they said they dont support HLS, live streaming, that is unfortunate! This was actually their response:
---
Hi,
We currently do not offer a Live Stream service. If interested in hosting your own videos on Cloudflare, do consider Cloudflare Stream:

You can use CloudFlare as a proxy, but you need to disable caching by creating a rule in the dashboard, or your domain will be suspended. Their Stream plan is for something else, it doesn't work with Xtream, you can use the free plan.
I already tried to use other solutions like CDN77 and Fastly but they blocked my account a few days later, saying that they identified copyrighted content...
I even said that I had the right to broadcast but they didn't believe it

What is best rule to disable caching?
I tried:
*. domain/*
*domain/*
domain/*
but they always suspend that domains.
I have second account there not adding any page rules in domains, it's working and not suspended.
