GoogleICS

Allows for a proxy from CloudFlare to public calendars on google in iCS format.

This will allow for requests to Google from a mobile device to not come from a geolocatable IP address. Using CloudFlare workers for this also gets you to use a cached edge location. Technically Google tracking would still be available at a regional level (constrained to CloudFlare's edge locations). However, Google would lose the ability to track to a single user.

Specifically, they will get:

  • Time and IP address of CloudFlare edge location
  • The following custom header: CDN-Loop: cloudflare

Note that CloudFlare has full knowledge of requests, etc, so this is somewhat trading of trust from Google (AdTech company) for CloudFlare (makes money from CDN and DDOS mitigation).
