## Resolving Real-Time Event Stream Timeouts During final preparations for the upcoming Alpha launch, the Datamine Network development team identified and resolved a connection issue affecting real-time event streams. The team observed that event streams were dropping after approximately 100 seconds of idle time. Because the ecosystem relies on real-time analytics, maintaining persistent connections is vital. ## Bypassing Cloudflare Proxy for Security and Stability Investigation revealed that the issue stemmed from Cloudflare’s DNS proxy routing, which converted requests to HTTP 2.0 and terminated streams after the 100-second threshold. To fix this, the team obtained a new SSL certificate and disabled Cloudflare’s DNS routing, establishing a persistent, direct server connection. This change provides an additional security benefit: traffic for pro analytics is no longer routed through Cloudflare, adding another layer of privacy to the decentralized network. The team is now using the weekend to perform final polish and optimizations ahead of sending out the first Alpha invites.
