On the subject of the IP leaking: Note that IPv4 only has 2^32 addresses, and people can and do mass scan all of them (see here shodan.io). If your service is exposing any identifiable information (ie. if it's not completely blocking all non-cloudflare IPs) then it's fairly easy to find even if it's "unguessable".

yep, i had the same thought

which is what led me to block all other IPs - it's not the hardest thing to just make an openssl req and get the common names of the certificate returned

especially if you know the hosting provider, which narrows down the ip space significantly
