cf_football_bypass

CF Football Bypass addresses a specific infrastructure problem faced by online stores in regions where internet service providers apply mass IP blocking during football matches — a practice that also inadvertently blocks Cloudflare's proxied IP ranges, making legitimate stores unreachable. This module automates the process of switching selected Cloudflare DNS records between Proxied and DNS Only modes timed around live match schedules, so the store remains accessible to customers without requiring manual intervention.

• Automated Cloudflare mode switching: Monitors the hayahora.futbol match schedule feed and automatically toggles selected DNS records between Proxied and DNS Only modes based on match timing.
• Configurable DNS record selection: Administrators choose which Cloudflare DNS records the module manages, allowing precise control over what is affected.
• Adjustable check interval and cooldown: The polling frequency and the cooldown period before Cloudflare proxy mode is reactivated after a match are both configurable from the back office under Advanced Parameters.
• External cron support: The module supports execution via an external cron job in addition to its built-in scheduling, with documented .htaccess configuration for the cron endpoint.

This is a highly specialised module intended for store operators in markets where ISPs block Cloudflare proxy IPs during live football broadcasts — primarily affecting stores targeting audiences in certain Spanish-speaking regions. It requires an active Cloudflare account and API credentials with DNS management permissions. Store owners outside affected regions are unlikely to need this module.
