Hello!
If someone needs a Drupal Varnish VCL template here it is. I have been testing and it is working fine on my Drupal 7 and Drupal 9 installations.
Of course, I use CWP 7 and the Nginx+Varnish+Apache version of the webserver.
backend %backend_domain% {
.host = "%proxy_ip%";
.port = "%proxy_port%";
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.http.host ~ "%domain%") {
set req.backend_hint = %backend_domain%;
# Do not cache these paths.
if (req.url ~ "^/status\.php$" ||
req.url ~ "^/update\.php" ||
req.url ~ "^/install\.php" ||
req.url ~ "^/apc\.php$" ||
req.url ~ "^/admin" ||
req.url ~ "^/admin/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^/user" ||
req.url ~ "^/user/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^/users/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^/info/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^/flag/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^.*/ajax/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^.*/ahah/.*$" ||
req.url ~ "^/system/files/.*$") {
return (pass);
}
# Always cache the following file types for all users. This list of extensions
# appears twice, once here and again in vcl_backend_response so make sure you edit both
# and keep them equal.
if (req.url ~ "(?i)\.(pdf|asc|dat|txt|doc|xls|ppt|tgz|csv|png|gif|jpeg|jpg|ico|swf|css|js)(\?.*)?$") {

# previously back. (\1) is first matching group in the regsuball.

# no space after the preceding semi-colon.
# 5. Remove all spaces and semi-colons from the beginning and end of the
# cookie string.

set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "^[; ]+|[; ]+$", "");
if (req.http.Cookie == "") {
# If there are no remaining cookies, remove the cookie header. If there
# aren't any cookie headers, Varnish's default behavior will be to cache
# the page.
