i am trying to host a server from home, using cloudflare as a DNS (because i don’t want to get doxed or anything like that because it has a proxy built in), i am using a calix router, and have gotten the port forwarding to work but I’m having problems with connecting to the DNS, i am hosting on port 12369 and have tried DNS host mapping but have failed as i don’t understand it and don’t entirely know if that’s what i should be doing to get it to connect for reference this is what the config looks like if it is what i need to do
i have tried using A,CNAME, and HTTPS (CNAME and HTTPS i just entered in something like https://0.0.0.0:12369 and for type A i tired doing something like 0.0.0.0:12369 and 0.0.0.0)
if you need any more info to help me
so turns out im just dumb, i used the wrong IP address XD, i got it to work but i am getting “ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR” every time i try to connect to the server (I’m connecting to the server using OperaGX from the same device that is hosting the server), it works on my phone and other browsers tho (i have tried clearing cache)
and one last thing, how can i specify what port the domain points too, i am hosting on port 5000 and i don’t want to just connect to example.com:5000 i also don’t want my router login page to be accsessable (hosted on 8080/the page the domain redirects to without specifying the port
