How to connect thin client to a host behind Cloudflare?

Post by goodchao »

So recently I've setup Cloudflare (free) for my domain.
Initially, I can't access Deluge Web UI, but I managed to solve it by configuring reverse proxy.

But I'm still not sure how I can connect the thin client to my domain.
If I pause Cloudflare, I can see the green status. But when I resume Cloudflare, the status will back to red.

Change your daemon port to 8443.
Your reverse proxy works, cause it uses a standard port (80 or 443).
Google what ports are proxied on cloudflare. I bet 8443 will be on the list.

Now I am no stranger to over complicating stuff, but you wanna tell us why cloudflare?

Actually I've tried that just before creating this thread. I thought it should work, but somehow the status still red. I might try again with some other ports later.

My server is in Europe, but I'm from Southeast Asia. So it would be great if I can reduce some load time.

Although I think I can deal with the slow load time, I just hope it won't get any worse. Sometimes our routing to other region can be so bad...
But it's fun to learn something new. So, I hope I can learn something from opening this thread~
