Cloudflare and MySql

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network
1

I have my own server + cloudflare. Cloudflare redirects to my server and it is working fine.
Now I want to connect with my Visual Basic program trough Cloudflare to my MySql server.

It looks like it can connect somehow but I alway get a Reading from the stream has failed error.
I’ve already disabled ssl and set the port to my mysql server to 8080.

(It works to directly connect to my vps - without cloudflare. Using cloudflare i get this error)
“Reading from the stream has failed”

How can I fix that.

Cloudflare only proxies HTTP/S traffic, regardless of port. It’s like trying to reconfigure your server to put FTP on Port 8080. Cloudflare won’t pass that protocol through.

One option would be to just configure your database connection to use IP address.

Only on an Enterpri$$$$e plan.

Can’t you firewall off your server to only let specific IP addresses connect to it for that port?

You can also filter the IPs in you raspberry. Something like iptables or ufw should do the trick.

Another thing you could do is restrict you database users to specific IPs
