How to fix Error 524?

By Alton AlexanderUpdated on June 4th, 2022

Error 524 indicates that a Cloudflare Ray ID is present in the request headers, but no corresponding CF-Connecting-IP is found. This can happen for a few reasons:

  1. The visitor is behind a proxy or VPN and their real IP is not being sent to Cloudflare.

  2. The visitor's browser is configured to use a proxy server that is not sending the correct headers to Cloudflare.

  3. Cloudflare is not receiving the headers it needs from the origin web server. This could be because of a misconfiguration or because the web server is behind a firewall that is blocking the headers.

  4. There is a network issue between Cloudflare and the origin web server.

This error can be fixed by ensuring that the real IP address of the visitor is being sent to Cloudflare, or by troubleshooting the network issue between Cloudflare and the origin server.
