Cloudflare — course notes

Current status — reset for final project (1 October 2026)

John confirmed the labs are being reset so the final project can be built in a clean environment. Reset completion has not been verified. Earlier configuration, rule IDs, device registrations and lab completion details below are historical evidence from the previous environment; recheck live state and access after the reset. The active next task is the clean final project, superseding the earlier plan to continue Lab 15. The expired.badssl.com certificate/block-page issue was unresolved when work moved to the reset.
