The way reverse proxy works is the dns ip is forwarded to server of reverse proxy
When a user tries to visit your website, reverse proxy server forwards the data from the original website tot he end user

CloudFlare could be taken as an example for a reverse proxy: http://www.cloudflare.com/

well cloudflare tells the people who send the dmca what your real hosting ip is

which means its pointless going to cloudflare because once the people get a email back from cloudflare with the ip of your host they will then send a dmca to them

Actually, reserve proxies doesn't really hide your server IP if anyone has excellent skills with dns they can easily findout your real server IP no matter what services you're using to hide your IP such as Cloudflare, and etc.

Cloudflare is not recommended for hosting warez site soon as a DMCA complaint comes it will be forwarded to you. They will give away your hosting provider they'll send an email to you letting you know they've given your hosting provider information over to the person sending the DMCA.
