Direct to non standard port

Getting Started
#1

Hey everyone,

I have a web app running on my server and would like my domain to point to that web app with Cloudflare being a proxy between visitors and my server. My situation is complicated though because the web app is running on port 2096, and ports 80 and 443 are being used to host a completely different website with a different domain etc… It appears that 2096 is a supported port on Cloudflare though.

Is there anyway for me to configure Cloudflare such that mydomain.com points to 192.168.1.1:2096, and users are not pointed to the website being hosted on the default ports?

Thanks for your help!

Try Portzilla in Cloudflare apps. If that doesn’t work, you can use a Worker instead.

Okay, Portzilla is now redirecting to my site but the web app isn’t completely loading, and ideas?

I found the issue, Portzilla is requiring I whitelist all the target resources but because its a web app there are hundreds, and way around this?

Okay, turns out after I ask a question I will immediately figure out the problem myself, useful, next time everything will be solved much quicker.

After using different browsers I discovered that Websocket connections are failing, I double checked and when I connect directly to my server Websocket connections do work, so I believe there might be an issue with Portzilla or Cloudflare. I also checked my Cloudflare settings and Websocket connections are enabled there. Is this a known issue with Portzilla and is there anyway to allow Websocket connections to work?

If it’s websockets, it doesn’t like Workers (what Portzilla most likely uses) handles them well.
