How to hide load balancer origin domains

Website, Application, Performance

Hi everyone,

I have a Cloudflare Load Balancer.

Load Balancer Hostname: example.domain.com
Origin-1 Hostname: ex1.domain.com
Origin-2 Hostname: ex2.domain.com

When I enter the Load Balancer Hostname, it redirects me to the Origin-1 or Origin-2 hostname URL. I want to hide my origin server URL addresses. It now appears in the browser. Is there any way I can mask or hide this?

I couldn’t find any resources or settings related to this topic.

Thanks, everyone.

May I ask how did you setup your Load Balancer?
Two pools with one origin, or?

One pool, two origin

I’d look at the origins or your firewall. That’s not the behavior of a load balancer so the redirection to display the hostname is coming from somewhere else.

Hi,

I noted. This made sense. Because I set reverse proxy http to https 301 redirect. Maybe that’s why.

I will check and post the result.

Thank you for your advise.

Hi,

Thank you for your advise, i tried.

I tried your suggestion. I disabled ssl(443) via reverse proxy. There is no problem when accessing directly from port 80. But I want it to communicate with SSL. Origin hostnames do not accept https:// or :443 ports in Cloudflare Load Balancer settings.

The bad thing is that when I disable ssl in reverse proxy, load balancer ssl is also disabled.

Cloudflare blew me away with “Load Balancer” and universal ssl unfortunately. I guess I’ll think twice before trying new things again.

Hi everyone,

Since Cloudflare conflicts are not over, I change origin hostname values with ip addresses and log out from port 80. This is how I solved the issue. If you are going to use a domain, I would definitely not recommend Cloudflare CDN.

Thank you to those who supported.
