> I've had problems with this though. I want to get the ip4 address from cloudflare, instead of ip6 and it's next to impossible AFAICT. (for the free plan anyway)

I have multiple websites on Cloudflare and can receive IPv4 addresses just fine, though for Cloudflare fronted websites it's usually better to use the CF-Connecting-IP as people can send any value in the X-Forwarded-For header.

Maybe some intermediate layer turns the IPv4 into a IPv6-mapped IPv4 address?
