Overview
Webflow does not natively support folder on main domain routing to external origins. To serve Flint pages in a folder on your main Webflow domain (e.g. acme.com/lp/), you need an external reverse proxy. The recommended approach is Cloudflare Workers (free tier works).
- •Your Webflow site continues to serve your main website.
- •Cloudflare sits in front of your domain and routes traffic.
- •A Cloudflare Worker intercepts requests to your Flint folder on main domain and proxies them to your Flint-hosted subdomain.
- •All other traffic passes through to Webflow normally.
Since Webflow itself now runs on Cloudflare infrastructure, this is called an Orange-to-Orange (O2O) setup.
Prerequisites
- •A Cloudflare account (free tier is sufficient)
- •Your domain DNS must be managed through Cloudflare (DNS records set to Proxied/orange cloud)
- •Your Flint subdomain (contact the Flint team if you do not know this value)
- •A paid Webflow account with a custom domain connected
Setup Steps
For full instructions on setting up the Cloudflare Worker rewrite, see the Cloudflare setup guide.
Alternative Options
If you cannot use Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront can also serve as a reverse proxy.
Important Notes
- •Webflow does not configure or support third-party reverse proxies. The Cloudflare Worker approach is self-managed.
- •Webflow offers a managed reverse proxy service for Enterprise plan customers, but the Cloudflare approach gives you more control and works on any Webflow plan.
- •For general Cloudflare setup details beyond Webflow, see the Technical Setup guide.
