Hide server IP while using Cloudflare "DNS only" status

DNS & Network
#1

Hi Cloudflare community members,

I want to hide my aws ec2 server IP while using Cloudflare DNS (DNS only for proxy status) as it stopped working if I enabled proxy status. I configured the server to have port 2096 open which is Cloudflare open public port and make proxies out of it. so the complete proxy is in a format of
sub.mydomain.com: 2096:user1:pass1

Does cloudflare not support socket proxies or just HTTP proxies ? Thanks.

DNS Only mode is standard DNS that exposes your server’s IP address.

Standard proxy is HTTP/S over a set of ports, which includes 2096. It’s possible that enabling WebSockets in the Network tab of the Cloudflare dashboard.

Thanks DotMrCode, looks like its just http/https proxy mode, not working for socket proxy… any workaround ? Thanks.
