Server: cloudflare-nginx, what is it?

Kaz Wolfe · Jan 5, 2017

When i try to check cloudflare.com's web server with get web server information tool, I get this

Code:

server	cloudflare-nginx

As following image

Does it exist a web server called as cloudflare-nginx? anyone explains me?

That simply means the server is running Nginx, and running through Cloudflare.

If you are looking directly at cloudflare.com then it is returning that they have a custom built engine cloudflare-nginx I'm sure it is something they've created themselves for their site(s)

This seems not true becuae I am running Apache with Cloudflare for my website and I checked it also displayed this

server cloudflare-nginx

Checked with browserspy.dk

My previous sentence isn't true because Cloudflare do not use nginx anymore, that's why you should only see server : cloudflare now.
But it's not possible to see the real web server used by a website because the server header is overwritten by Cloudflare.

We cannot say they are not using Nginx just bcause of the "Server" header. This is something we can easily customize and what people usually do...it can be set to anything....so don't assume the web server based the particual header.
