Braiins Hashpower Constant Connection Issues. Why Is This Happening?

[options4good]

Pointed 1Ph/s purchased hashpower to my local ckpool setup. Everything seemed to be ok, but I noticed the the vardiff engine is not adjusting. Looked into the log and found a ton of dropped connections and re-attempt again and again in a constant cycle. Not sure why this is happening, but definitely does not look normal. I played with adjusting the startdiff, it did not matter. Have you guys experienced this before? What was the solution?

1. Use the code tag # to make a text wall into a scrollable box. Much easier to read.
2. This area is only for BITCOIN. You are mining bitcoincash which is an altcoin that has nothing to do with BTC.

Asking mods to move the thread to the altcoin area where it belongs.
Edit, moved by mods

I also see a quick client login followed by an immediate disconnect, and a cycle of dropped connections.

A few lines from the AI:
"Pool Configuration: Check your ckpool.conf for these settings:
Increase "update_interval" from the default 30 seconds to 60-90 seconds
Adjust "maxclients" if it's set too low
Make sure "serverurl" is configured correctly for your setup"

The AI ​​says the IP addresses in the logs appear to belong to Cloudflare, but that's nonsense.
https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/

But I advise you to check on another pool to compare logs.

[options4good]

Thank you. I have checked with AI prior posting here and explored all possible options except that Cloudfare note that I thought it makes no sense either, however since I use a ddns, I have to explore if I can change the Proxy status from Proxied (Orange Cloud) to DNS Only (Grey Cloud). I will explore this option next week and post results in case of success/solution.
I tried to point the Braiins hash power to all of my local pools, same issue in logs.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Maybe you need to set a higher starting diff? I know that when using a large rental from nicehash or mmr to mine BTC with ckpool you need a starting diff of 1 million. That stops flooding a pool or node with a shitton of low diff shares before vardiff figures it out. Not sure what diff is for altcoins but maybe try say 100k?
