The suggested way is to do the following:

1. Put an nginx or other http proxy in front of Netdata, as explained [here](https://learn.netdata.cloud/guides/step-by-step/step-10#connect-netdata-to-nginx). It includes instructions for SSL. I suggest you then temporarily add an A record to your DNS zone in Cloudflare without proxy, to verify that you have it correctly configured.

2. Have that proxy accept requests only from [Cloudflare’s IP ranges](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/)

3. Convert the Cloudflare A records to proxy requests to your nginx, as shown below  

What you see are some of our demo servers and this is exactly the setup we use. The guide in step 1 also explains how you can secure the UI with basic auth username/passwords.

Yes, see “allow from” in netdata.conf. There’s a lot of documentation on learn.netdata.cloud about all of this.
