PIWIK and Cloudflare using one dynamic ip not working – now half fixed

Preamble
I noticed when I started using Cloudflare I was not getting any hits in piwik.
Actually it was a bit strange…

on my local network I could get hits

My mobile phone generates hits

No hits appeared to be coming through any Cloudflare CDN

 
Solution
To fix the issue I made the dns at Cloudflare look like

CNAME brombo.co.uk => dynamic ip address

CNAME wwww => brombo.co.uk

CNAME piwik => dynamic ip address

 
Investigation
I strongly suspected that it was a caching issue as that is what CDN does.
I tried turning off caching on Cloudflare, but this didn’t fix the issue.
The solution appears to be to separate your web ip, from you piwik ip in the dns.

Initially I had

www.brombo.co.uk as my website

www.brombo.co.uk/piwik as my piwik site

Hence they share the same root website, and I suspect my tracking java code was being redirected to the wrong ip.

I then changed my sites to

www.brombo.co.uk – website

piwik.brombo.co.uk – piwik site, via adding a dns entry/virtual host

 
This still didn’t fix it as my dns looked something like this

CNAME brombo.co.uk => dynamic ip address

CNAME wwww => brombo.co.uk

CNAME piwik => brombo.co.uk

 
I suspect Cloudfare just breaks the alias at brombo.co.uk hence piwik.brombo.co.uk still didn’t work.

To fix the issue I made the dns at Cloudflare look like

CNAME brombo.co.uk => dynamic ip address

CNAME wwww => brombo.co.uk

CNAME piwik => dynamic ip address

 
Now I see to be able to generate hits using

ToDo
I have tried using the piwik app on Cloudflare but this currently doesn’t appear to generate any hits for me. Also the ip addresses I am currently receiving I believe are actually Cloudflare ones… I need to add the mod to the synology to fix this.
