I followed YouTube videos and all my domain points to is “server not found.” My domain is through Cloudflare. My server’s ports have been opened at the router.

Proxy Host Settings: Domain name: newly.registered.domain Scheme: http (I’ve tried https too) Forward hostname/IP: local.server.ip.v4 Forward port: jelly_port Access list: Publicly accessible SSL: *.newly.registered.domain

I’d love to share my certificate info, but I don’t see a way to do that…but I set up the DNS thingy with a Cloudflare API token. I remember typing in my server’s public IP here too. Took many tries, but it finally accepted the settings as valid.

So what am I missing to get a reverse proxy? I thought it was supposed to work after all of that.

I’ve been trying to get this going for so long that it just feels like I’m beating my head against the wall until it randomly works, ya know?

    This isn’t a solution to your issue, but a suggestion:

    Since you are already using Cloudflare for your domain name, and I assume they gave you some nameservers to use, why not explore the Cloudflare Tunnels/ZeroTrust? Cloudflare Tunnels don’t care if you are behind a dynamic IP, or cgnat. Cloudflare is unconcerned with what ports you open on your router/firewall. You don’t even have to adjust your UFW firewall settings. Cloudflare punches through all that with a tunnel in to your server and tunnel out to the internet.

    Admittedly, it did take me a couple tries to get everything worked out, but once I did, it’s easy peasy from there. If you decide this route, I’d be more than happy to clean up some of my notes and share them with you. Might help…might not. LOL
