Allow Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) on HighLevel Wordpress hosting

Without the proxy enabled (gray cloud), Cloudflare's DNS is not different from others. With it enabled (orange cloud), we get a lot of free benefits. https://secure.plusplushosting.net/knowledgebase/714/Advantages-of-the-CloudFlare-system.html has a nice list of these benefits.https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019093151#h_dns_cloud_orange_or_grayFor DNS records proxied to Cloudflare, Cloudflare's IP addresses are returned in DNS queries instead of your original server IP address. This allows Cloudflare to optimize, cache, and protect all requests for your website.https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/4424646531597-Using-Cloudflare-with-WP-EngineWPEngine even has its own special orange cloud setup.

I learned after posting this that you CAN enable proxy (orange cloud)
after
adding the record without proxy (gray cloud) and verifying in GHL, then go back to Cloudflare to manually switch to orange cloud.Still, I think it best for the domain connect automated setup to enable orange cloud for us automatically, not requiring to manually set after GHL verifies it.

We do need this. Without the "orange cloud" we can't use cloudFlare's goodies, like the workers for example.

Would love this, allows us to use additional analytics, and provide security.

I second this. We really need a way to prevent DDoS attacks and optimize the assets of the website.
